I’ve Seen You in the Future

[Please add my new novel, How Do I Keep Acting Delicate in the Apocalypse Without My Lover Finding Out, to your reading list! It’s still about a beautiful, strong, tragic uke. I’ll always love a sickly beauty with off-the-charts combat strength~] “Is a person’s nature innate, shaped by childhood experiences, or cultivated and refined later in life?” “If you change someone’s path of growth, will you end up with an entirely different person?” Teng Shi figured he probably wasn’t a very good person. Born into the all-powerful Teng family, he knew that being too kindhearted wouldn’t get him far. He lay low and plotted every step carefully, building a cutting-edge tech company and rising to the top of the power ladder, only to be sent to his death by a poisoned drink at a yacht celebration. He died an untimely death. There wasn’t much wrong with dying. Exhausted after a lifetime of work, Teng Shi closed his eyes contentedly. Who could have guessed that the heavens would pull such a ridiculous stunt? When he woke up, he found himself back in his teens. Looking at his young, handsome face in the mirror, Teng Shi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It had taken him twenty years to build his empire, and now he was back at the starting point. What was he supposed to do? With the ability to see the future, who needed to exhaust himself working? Teng Shi decided to take things as they came this time around. He’d steer clear of trouble, live in comfort, and coast through life to a ripe old age. But this time, he found that some things seemed different from his previous life… The Xi family, which had been wiped out long ago, still had one survivor. His father grabbed the child by one leg and tossed him at Teng Shi: “Raise him. He’ll be useful as a bargaining chip later.” Teng Shi looked down at the little white dumpling in his arms. At that moment, he was at a loss for words. …Wasn’t this supposed to mean less trouble? Xi Feiran furiously waved his little hands in Teng Shi’s arms. “I hate you!” Teng Shi: “What a coincidence. I hate kids too.” So Teng Shi hung Xi Feiran upside down from a beam and gave him a beating. It was the first time Xi Feiran had been bullied by Teng Shi. His bottom nearly got beaten raw, and he cried until his voice went hoarse. Xi Feiran: “I’ll get my revenge!” Teng Shi didn’t care. “Go ahead and try. And call me Second Young Master.” Xi Feiran gritted his teeth and sobbed. “Just you wait. One day, I’ll pay you back for everything you’ve done to me!” Teng Shi yawned as he read through a proposal. “Not even in your next life. Come here and rub my shoulders, or I’ll toss you in the washing machine.” Humiliated, Xi Feiran walked over and pressed his hands to Teng Shi’s shoulders. Teng Shi thought raising a child wasn’t much trouble, about the same as raising a puppy. Ten years later, Teng Shi got a face-slapping reversal. When the little white dumpling he had raised with his own hands grew half a head taller than him and pinned him against the wall, the powerful muscles in the young man’s arms made his heart race. Teng Shi looked up in anger and surprise. “What are you doing?” Xi Feiran smiled faintly and pinched his chin, his eyes full of meaning. “Do you remember how you bullied me when I was little?” …Whatever happened to the puppy? After starting over, was this fate at work, or had someone planned it all? The wisdom of someone twenty years ahead of his time might bring more than the vast wealth of a business empire. It might change more than one person’s destiny… Composed, highly intelligent big shot with a frail constitution, a sickly beauty uke VS little genius, scheming fake puppy and real wolfdog, vengeful seme Cover artist: Xiao Hong Is a Bonfire (I commissioned this cover in January 2022 and have the full chat records.
