Reborn as My Archrival's In-Game Wife

Everyone at No. 1 High knows that Lian Ying and Shang Yunxi are mortal enemies. Lian Ying is the school's untamed wild horse, while Shang Yunxi is its untouchable beauty. The horse looks down on the flower, and the flower looks down on the horse. Until one day, after falling asleep, the wild horse finds himself transported into the body of the NPC wife Shang Yunxi bought in a game...

He has to keep the untouchable beauty from discovering who he is, while also finding ways to stop his "husband" from ordering him around so much. He's driven absolutely crazy.

Shang Yunxi has it rough, too. One day, he realizes that the wife he bought in the game to help him kill monsters, level up, and complete quests has started acting cute and playing the helpless card instead of working. He asks his friends what their NPC wives are like, and none of them behave this way. It's truly baffling.

Until one day, his deskmate, who always comes first in fights and last in class, sleep-talks during a lesson: "Honey, can I skip gathering herbs and weaving cloth today? My fingers hurt so much!"

Classmates: ???

Shang Yunxi: ...

1v1. Mortal enemies in real life, lovey-dovey in the game: a bottom paired with a cold, aloof top in real life who is gentle in the game.

Coming soon: River of Fire

Blurb 1:

After his final exams during winter break, Liu Xiao hires a "parent" to attend his parent-teacher meeting. He introduces the man as his great-uncle, who is the same age as him but one generation older.

The meeting goes smoothly.

After school starts, a transfer student joins Liu Xiao's class.

Classmate: "Holy crap, Liu Xiao! Isn't that your great-uncle?!"

Liu Xiao: ???

Liu Xiao: MMP...

Blurb 2:

Liu Xiao has always felt that his transfer-student deskmate is like a river: frozen when cold, thawed when it warms up, but never boiling for anyone.

Until the Qixi Festival, when he pins him down and kisses him on a crowded street. Only then does he discover what kind of volcano lies hidden beneath those waters.

1v1, happy ending.

Theme: Life is a journey that tests our inner selves. As long as we are unafraid of the darkness, we will eventually find the light.
