[My next book is Reborn as the Aloof School Prince, I Made a Move on Myself (switch, selfcest). The blurb is at the very bottom. Please add it to your reading list.]
I should say this up front: this author can't write blurbs. They all read like project proposals. The misery of a corporate drone... I can't fix it, so let's just leave it at that. Sigh...

[Blurb]
During summer vacation, Jiang Ran leaves his kitten at a pet shop. The shop owner, Chu Ke, swiftly gets the kitten spayed.
When Jiang Ran comes to pick her up, Chu Ke hands him an itemized bill, looking pleased with himself as he waits for praise. "The incision is especially neat. That'll be 3,800. We're having a grand opening, so it's 20% off."
"Who told you to operate on her? Did I give you permission? Are you crazy?" Jiang Ran explodes, his fair, cool-toned face turning bright red, like he's about to start a fight.
"...Moron." Chu Ke is dumbfounded. He wants to punch him, but just can't bring himself to with that face.
*
Later, Chu Ke learns that Jiang Ran has a cherished first love, and the kitten was a gift from them.
*
When school starts, Chu Ke transfers into the second year at Hengli High School. As he stands at the front of the classroom introducing himself, he spots the irritable customer sitting in the corner.
"Teacher, I want to sit over there." Chu Ke points to the corner, smiling so innocently he couldn't hurt a fly, though his intentions are anything but pure.
You dare lose your temper at your Uncle Chu? Let me teach you how to be "polite."
At Hengli, exam seats are assigned according to rank. From then on, at every exam, Chu Ke very "politely" trails right behind Jiang Ran.
*
Finally, while Chu Ke is once again ruffling Jiang Ran's hair like a kitten, top student Jiang suddenly leans closer, his voice calm and casual. "Chu Ke, do you like me?"
The kid finally gets it. Chu Ke suppresses the smile already threatening to reach his lips. "Jiang Ran, please leave out the words 'do you.'"
Sunny, cheerful boy (Chu Ke) x cool, aloof moon (Jiang Ran)
One-on-one, both sexually inexperienced, happy ending, a sweet campus romance.

[Next Book Blurb]
Ai Xingcheng has been in a terrible mood lately.
He's just an utterly ordinary student with terrible grades. He can't understand why the aloof, heartless school heartthrob, whose every look freezes a line of admirers in their tracks, has suddenly started paying so much attention to him.
Fine, they walk to school together. He can even put up with sharing a lunch table. But the guy has actually applied to be his deskmate for one-on-one tutoring?
Ai Xingcheng: Why don't you just say you want to share a bed with me?
Wei Ji: I wouldn't be opposed.
Ai Xingcheng: ??? WTF, I'm not into guys!
What he doesn't know is that although Wei Ji has that guy's appearance, someone else has taken his place inside. That person is none other than Ai Xingcheng himself, five years in the future, after a miserable death.
*
In his previous life, Ai Xingcheng was a complete joke. He developed a chronic illness when he was young after getting into fights on someone else's behalf. He achieved nothing by the age of 22, and in the end, had a drunken attack and drowned in a puddle.
But when he opens his eyes, he hasn't died. Instead, he's been reborn in the body of his former classmate, Wei Ji.
"Wei Ji" sits in his own seat, watching Ai Xingcheng without looking away.
Back then, Ai Xingcheng was just a rebellious boy. He was wild and unruly, but his handsome face hadn't yet taken on an air of anger and despair.
No one had ever cared for him, and he had amounted to nothing. Barely anyone even attended his funeral.
Now that fate has given him another chance, he'll keep a close eye on his younger self and make sure he doesn't go astray.
*
The students of Yucai No. 1 High School will never forget that day: in front of countless classmates, the school heartthrob, who never showed anyone the slightest kindness, clasped Ai Xingcheng's hand and confessed with deep feeling. "From now on, you are me and I am you. We are inseparable. I'll always take care of you."
Students watching: So sweet!
Ai Xingcheng: ???
And so, the sweetest couple in the whole school was born.
Ai Xingcheng (Everyone says I'm bad, so I'll be bad for them) x Wei Ji (Everyone says you're bad, but I'll show them just how good you can be)
Theme: Look ahead. We all have a bright future.
