The Guide Really Doesn’t Want to Hustle [Reborn]

[Please add my upcoming novel, I’m in Mourning, So Stay Away!] [Relentless|hardworking|bking Sentinel gong x medical miracle|laid-back king|genius Guide shou] A Sentinel/Guide novel. The carefully revised version is available exclusively on Jinjiang. Lu Jinchao awakens as a Guide at the advanced age of twenty-four. Surrounded by underage classmates who are frantically overachieving, he feels completely out of place. He tops his major classes thanks to perfect scores in mental guidance and shields so thick even his teachers can’t break through. But he injures himself at the starting line during the fitness test, and every physical training class feels like a demonstration of his newly installed limbs. Lu Jinchao: Why does a thoracic surgeon who graduated with a PhD at twenty-one and has worked for three years have to come back to school for “senior college” after awakening? Whatever. None of that matters. I’m lying down now. Someone cover me with a blanket. He never expected that in just one month, he would become the object of desire for all those eighteen-year-olds at the Sentinel Academy next door. Countless people at the Sentinel Academy want to pursue Lu Jinchao. Every day, they hope to be assigned to his group on guidance day and receive his guidance. Only Lin Xiaoming never joins in, acting quite aloof. Everyone wonders whether there’s some hidden grudge between the king of overachievers, who took first place by an overwhelming margin on the entrance exam, and Lu Jinchao, the laid-back king. Lin Xiaoming, meanwhile, makes it clear that there really is some “hidden grudge” between them by climbing the wall in the middle of the night, sneaking into Lu Jinchao’s dorm, and squeezing in beside him to receive private soothing. After dying, Lin Xiaoming is reborn on the night he became a Dark Sentinel. Gravely wounded, he faces two paths in the darkness and chooses without hesitation the one he abandoned in his previous life. When he wakes from unconsciousness, Lin Xiaoming discovers that the ordinary person Lu Jinchao has taken him home. Everything has returned to the moment before it began. The space pirate who once terrorized the star systems is now picking through trash at a mine on Muir Star, dressed in rags and as lowly as a lackey. The powerful intelligence chief at the intelligence bureau is sitting in a cramped room, doing monotonous paperwork day after day. The First Lady, who once turned the Capital Star upside down, is now on her knees scrubbing the floors of a noble’s villa, enduring insults and scolding. Once, they were enemies who understood one another. This time, they will become the right-hand allies who help him ascend the Throne of Thorns. Beyond the power that makes people tremble, what Lin Xiaoming must pursue is authority that towers above all! He will take Lu Jinchao, the only person who has ever truly treated him well in either of his lives, away from this remote star system and head for the center, turning the world upside down. He’s awakening as a Dark Sentinel, after all. He doesn’t need a Guide to organize his mental world. That is, until Lu Jinchao experiences his first heat, delayed by eight years. A revenge story about a Dark Sentinel and the Chief Guide joining forces to reclaim their former glory. Spirit forms: Snow leopard x white falcon 1. A powerful couple, with a growth-focused story and no children. The shou has some personality flaws early on because of childhood trauma, but gets past them quickly. 2. Entirely fictional. Please don’t draw any parallels to reality. The carefully revised version is available exclusively on Jinjiang. I’m not responsible for any other versions. 3. This story has always been told from the shou’s perspective; I’ve never changed the perspective since starting it. It was on my upcoming-novel list for three years, and the central premise and plot have never changed. Its original title was The Dark Sentinel’s Revenge, and the cover features the shou. My new novel, now underway: The Two Omegas Switched Lives! In the final battle, Marshal Chen Wei dies gloriously, and the Chen family home goes up in flames. His subordinates do everything they can but manage to rescue only the older of the Omega twins. Eighteen years later, the older brother, raised in the White Tower, is refined and aloof, like a puppet. As the marshal’s sole surviving heir, he is to marry the eldest prince, as agreed upon all those years ago. Unfortunately, the two cold, distant men can’t spark even a hint of chemistry, and neither is sensitive to the other’s pheromones. “Together in name only” and “sharing a bed but dreaming separate dreams” might as well have been written for their future marriage. Meanwhile, in the underground city, the younger brother, rescued at the cost of his butler’s life, has become the most seductive socialite. He indulges in pleasure, and every alpha in the underground city wants to spend a night with him. The others are all jealous, waiting for the day some wife tears his pretty face to shreds. One day, the brothers happen to meet again. For fun, the noble prince consort puts on a backless outfit and heads to the underground city, while the wild younger brother wears a pure white robe and goes to the White Tower. The eldest prince sits through dinner with his future prince consort, expressionless, when he suddenly feels a foot press down on his under the table. The young man across from him props up his chin, watching his every expression with lively interest. That day, for the first time, they smell each other’s pheromones. In the underground city, a group of thugs with bad intentions are slapped dozens of times, and mental power crushes them until they can only grovel on the ground. The young man is dressed provocatively, yet his every glance and gesture exudes nobility. The alpha smiles with polished charm and a hint of ill intent. “May I invite you to dinner?” The penniless older brother gives it a moment’s thought, then gently places his hand in the alpha’s palm. “You should be honored.” Everyone thinks the engagement between the eldest prince and the Chen family’s only son will surely be called off because they aren’t sensitive to each other’s pheromones. The young masters and ladies all rub their hands together, ready to use every trick in the book to become the prince consort. But who is this young master of the Chen family, so devoted to the prince and always making them look foolish? Younger brother: “I was tearing apart fake sweethearts and white lotuses in the underground city before you lot even knew how to cry. And that’s all you’ve got? You’re not even entertaining!” No one could have imagined that the alpha once driven out of his family as a good-for-nothing would establish a kingdom in the underground city, with the cool and noble young man at his side. Their immense mental pressure leaves everyone with nothing but the urge to submit. People of the underground city: What! That flirtatious socialite who was always leading people on is actually a man-eating queen of the flowers?! Theme: Break free of fate amid countless hardships, conflicts, and pain.
