A Little Madman’s Guide to Acting Obedient [Reborn]

[Signed for publication in mainland China; updates at Jinjiang by Li Wenjiu] Chen Qizhao was reborn, returning to the age of eighteen, when he was still the Chen family's ill-tempered little tyrant. At this point, his older brother hadn't been in a car accident yet, his parents were healthy and free of serious illness, and the Chen family was still thriving. Everyone thought he was still the useless fool they could push around at will. "All he does is fight with his brother every day. Spoiled and willful!" "He looks pretty good, but what a moron." "Isn't he just dead weight? Just keep him happy and that's enough." "What a shame about that kid from the Chen family." He faced fair-weather friends with their own agendas, rats eyeing him covetously, and old foxes scheming behind his back. Chen Qizhao put on his spoiled, arrogant mask again. So you love putting on a show? Then why don't we all put on one together? Later, everyone realized that by the end of this show, they'd either be bankrupt or behind bars. -* Chen Qizhao had always done whatever he pleased, and plenty of people hated him. But when everyone slandered and condemned him, only Shen Yuhuai had ever spoken up for him. He didn't care what other people thought of him, but he didn't want Shen Yuhuai to have a bad impression of him. Later, he found out that Shen Yuhuai liked well-behaved people. So whenever he ran into Shen Yuhuai, he reined in all his nastiness and acted like a good boy. - No matter what rumors about Chen Qizhao were flying around, in Shen Yuhuai's eyes, Chen Qizhao had always been a good kid. That was until one day he caught Chen Qizhao beating up street thugs. Chen Qizhao was ruthless, and his vicious threats were nothing like his usual self. When he saw Shen Yuhuai, Chen Qizhao let go and said awkwardly, "I'm actually really well-behaved. I only act like this because otherwise people would bully me." Then, realizing he couldn't keep up the act, he gave up and asked, "Do you believe me?" Shen Yuhuai was silent for a moment, then answered without changing expression, "I believe you." [An outwardly sweet and adorable, but inwardly ill-tempered, vicious, and unhinged bottom x a top who plays hard to get, with three parts tricks and seven parts deep, calculating cunning] P.S. 1. Two strong leads, a satisfying revenge story with revenge as the main plot. 2. Content warning: The bottom has psychological issues, and the protagonist isn't a perfect person. 3.

At the height of his fame, he announced his retirement after winning the Grand Slam, leaving countless fans heartbroken. That same year, the mecha mechanic for the KID Club was stripped of his team medic certification for violating Alliance rules. With no other choice, the club owner posted a job opening in the Alliance, sparking widespread controversy. "What? They're hiring? How much are they paying?" "Everyone knows KID is dirt poor. Don't go." "There are so few mechanics, and you're offering that little? Are you trying to fool an idiot?" Not long after, KID Club really did hire a mechanic. The mechanic wore a hat that hid his face and loose long sleeves, with a faint glint of intricate machinery visible beneath them. He looked more like a pretty decoration than someone who could repair mecha. "His right hand is a prosthetic? A mechanical hand? You've got to be kidding. Can he even adjust the precision settings?" "I doubt he can even lift an armor plate." Two years later, the Mecha Alliance restructured, requiring club medics to accompany teams into battle. KID Club submitted its roster, and a new ID appeared on the list: [sink]. Only then did the Alliance realize that KID hadn't just hired a mechanic. They'd hired a mechanic with off-the-charts combat strength. -* Ying Chenlin was reborn, returning to the age of eighteen, when his genes had mutated. That year, he'd just won the first Grand Slam in the Mecha Alliance. He'd followed his dreams at all costs and done whatever he wanted, only to suffer a genetic backlash two years later, leaving half his body disabled and confining him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. During the hardest years of his life, the owner of KID took him in, gave him a chance, taught him to change careers, and pulled him out of the mire. Given another chance, he turned down offers from several clubs and resolutely retired before his body was completely wrecked. After getting a prosthetic, he went to KID Club to apply for a job as a mecha mechanic. To repay a debt, recover, and start over. He'd once stood at the top. Even battered and broken, he would climb back up again. [Upcoming work 2: Forced to Work in a Virtual World] Su Qi, a former Star Alliance general, was gravely wounded and killed in a sudden disaster. When he woke up, he found himself inside a player's character in a full-dive virtual world. Luckily, the character's owner rarely logged in, so he could use their identity to scrape by in the virtual world. But when he opened the storage at home, he found no weapons and no food, just a room full of priceless outfits, top-tier skins, flashy chat bubbles, and other expensive cosmetics... Su Qi: "..." To survive, Su Qi had no choice but to join a hunting party and run a dungeon. As soon as they entered, the party leader said, "Miss, stay in the back. This boss is a piece of cake. If you give big brother a kiss, I'll take it down in five minutes." Su Qi, mistaken for a man playing a female character because of his fancy outfit: "No thanks." Later, the party wiped, the boss went berserk, and the leader, down to a sliver of health, shielded Su Qi. "Miss, run! I'll hold it off!" Su Qi had planned to coast, but had no choice but to pull out the weapon he'd just picked up. "Step aside. Just don't get in my way." -- The Imperial Marshal's beast form is a dragon. He's cold, restrained, and strict with himself, but he can't resist rare treasures and pretty things. To hide this unusual taste, he created a cosmetic-focused account in a full-dive game, splurging on limited-time outfits whenever a new event launched to satisfy his collecting habit. One day, he logged in and found his once-empty inventory packed with all sorts of food items: meat buns, mapo tofu, fried chicken, and more. Just as he was about to throw them away, a timid voice suddenly sounded in his ear: Su Qi: "Hey, can we talk? Could you not throw away my rations?" The Marshal: "?" Theme: Life isn't unchangeable. Hard work can change your life.
