Working title: The Whole Capital Is Shipping Me with My Archrival
In his previous life, Ji Xuan was too close to Xiao Ningyuan, and it ended in a gruesome death. After being reborn, his first order of business was to make a clean break with Xiao Ningyuan and keep their affairs separate.
But Xiao Ningyuan wouldn't let him. He opposed Ji Xuan at every turn, competing with him openly and behind the scenes, and making him angry.
Word of their bad blood spread through every street and alley.
Onlookers all agreed: "Oh, you don't get it. They're just keeping their distance to avoid suspicion!"
One day, someone saw the general climb over the wall to pick a fight at Ji's residence. The general lost, his lip was split, and his neck was covered in ghastly red marks.
Onlookers: "Wow! The Grand Tutor is so mighty!"
The shippers: "Wow! The general is henpecked!"
A valiant, doting, scheming gong (Xiao Ningyuan) x a seemingly cool-headed shou with an intense need for intimacy (Ji Xuan)

Ruan Xingzhen is hated by everyone, even the dogs. He's like a stray dog with nowhere to go.
He snaps at everyone, and only Zhou Yue is tireless about keeping him in line, afraid he'll go astray.
One day, Ruan Xingzhen was playing online with a team at an internet cafe when someone brought up Zhou Yue. Ruan Xingzhen immediately started running his mouth.
"Don't mention him. He's such a nag, I'm sick of him. If I could escape his clutches, I'd move out right this second. Even if I ended up homeless, I'd never give in to Zhou Yue."
That night, Zhou Yue packed up a pillow and blanket and tossed them by the front door.
Ruan Xingzhen squeezed up beside him and wheedled, "Bro, I'm not going anywhere. You can keep an eye on me."
A younger, feral-dog gong x a refined shou who's "too good-tempered"
