Reborn to Discover My Husband Has a Secret Crush on Me

Zhou Yu is a young and successful domineering CEO.

The reason he rose to power at such a young age is that his father, the previous CEO, has cancer. After five years clinging to life, he is finally nearing the end.

Old Zhou's only wish before he dies is to find his son a spouse. It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, since advanced technology can be used to have children.

Zhou Yu is filial, so he agrees on the spot to let his father pick someone. He expects a loveless marriage of convenience, but Old Zhou chooses the one he has long cherished, who has just returned after years abroad.

Zhou Yu: !!!

After registering their marriage at the civil affairs bureau, Zhou Yu keeps his cold, icy expression. Inside, though, his little self is dancing with joy:

It's fine if my beloved doesn't love me yet. I'll dote on him so much that he won't be able to live without me!

But before he can see his beloved fall in love with him, he dies in a car accident.

After Zhou Yu dies, his soul mysteriously remains in the world. He sees with his own eyes how the beloved who had always treated him with polite respect completely falls apart as he clutches Zhou Yu's body...

At last, Zhou Yu discovers the secret Fang Yan has buried deep in his heart, but it is already too late.

Just as Zhou Yu watches helplessly while Fang Yan's body slowly deteriorates, until he too closes his regret-filled eyes and leaves this world...

Zhou Yu is reborn.

Gentle, doting CEO gong x cool, shy beauty shou

Zhou Yu x Fang Yan

1. Same-sex marriage is legal. They are legally married and secretly in love with each other. (The rebirth happens in Chapter 4.)

2. Content warnings: Gong-centered story; high-tech childbearing (not surrogacy, and the shou does not give birth); a minor yuri side couple who help the main couple.

3. A brainless, fluffy romance that won't stand up to scrutiny. (Chapters 20-22 have some weird plot developments. Feel free to skip them if you don't want to read that.)

[Recommended upcoming story. Please add it to your reading list.]

The Immortal I Took as a Wife After Losing My Memory Is Acting Strange

Gui Zhi, the legendary Demon Venerable whose hands are stained with blood, is sinister and unhinged.

He fails to break through his bottleneck while in seclusion, damaging his spiritual sea and causing him to lose his memory.

His trusted subordinates warn him again and again: His Majesty is injured. He must keep a low profile for now, or word will get out and his enemies in the immortal realm will come after him.

Gui Zhi nods to show he understands, then turns around and brings out an immortal as cold and aloof as a lone crane on a snowy mountain. "I have brought back a beauty I desire. We will marry on an auspicious day."

His trusted subordinate stares wide-eyed at the immortal's face and lets out a piercing shriek: "Stop, Your Majesty! That's Jiang Linyue, the head of the immortal sect!"

·

Demons are called demons for a reason. Their ways are naturally wicked and unrestrained.

Gui Zhi has forgotten how to control the spiritual energy in his inner palace, but he still has to keep up the Demon Venerable's airs. Every so often, he menacingly threatens the new Demon Consort he has kidnapped: "You will never escape my grasp."

The immortal: "Mm."

Gui Zhi keeps posturing: "Immortals and demons are different. I know you resent this, but from now on, you can only belong to me."

The immortal: "...Yes."

Gui Zhi sneers darkly: "I built you a golden cage. Until you fully accept your place, you will stay obediently inside."

The immortal: "As you wish."

Gui Zhi is satisfied.

Excellent. The wicked Demon Venerable has humiliated the untouchable immortal again today.

·

Jiang Linyue is a prodigy of the immortal sect, indifferent to worldly desires. The only cultivator in history to reach the Mahayana stage, he is the person in all three realms with the greatest hope of ascending to immortality.

He guards Mount Taiwei year-round and rarely shows himself.

No one knows that he has been bonded to the Demon Venerable Gui Zhi for 120 years.

Though they are cultivation partners, they are both busy and spend little time together.

That is, until Gui Zhi loses his memory.

Jiang Linyue's partner, who has always been neither warm nor cold toward him, suddenly changes his ways, abducting him to his lair and threatening and tempting him into marriage.

And it has to be the grandest wedding imaginable, announced to all three realms.

The matter is momentous, and could send all three realms into an uproar, but Jiang Linyue agrees without hesitation: "All right."

Gui Zhi has lost his memories, so he probably hasn't realized something yet.

But Jiang Linyue knew the moment he saw him: the Demon Venerable Gui Zhi, the last phoenix in the world, already has three eggs growing in his still-flat belly.

They are the children they made together.

The Demon Venerable shou, flamboyant and wicked before losing his memory and still flamboyant and wicked, but a little foolish afterward x the aloof, ascetic (?) immortal gong who indulges him without limits

After the Immortal Lord Emerges from Seclusion, He Is Sent to Senior University

The Celestial Pivot Immortal Cui Yan emerges from 300 years of seclusion at last.

His wide sleeves billow as he floats in the air with his hands behind his back, looking down at the modern metropolis bustling with traffic below. A rare hint of confusion appears on his cool, handsome face.

The disciple who rushes over says, "My lord, times have changed!"

Fortunately, the Cultivators' Alliance has a well-established plan for dealing with old patriarchs who periodically come back from the dead.

And so Cui Yan is bundled off to the local senior university alongside other old folks who can't keep up with the times.

They will study new ideas and strive to be new youth... no, new seniors.

All they have to do is earn 20 credits to graduate.

His disciple thinks this will be easy: My master is a genius, one of the immortal world's most eminent figures. In his day, there wasn't a formation he couldn't unravel or an arcane technique he couldn't break. Surely 20 credits will be a piece of cake.

The very next day, he gets a complaint call from the class counselor:

...He keeps whispering to Shufen and Jianguo from the next class! When I call on him, he pretends to be hard of hearing. "Huh? I can't hear you!"

He keeps spreading feudal superstitions to his classmates, going on about divination, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams... He claims his fortunes are always accurate, and offers to tell fortunes in exchange for having people copy his homework!

He sneaks snacks during class and is really good at hiding them. The whole classroom can smell the food, but no one can find where it's coming from!

As the counselor tearfully lays out his grievances, Cui Yan sits upright, his face utterly proper, still the very picture of an immortal.

His disciple looks ready to cry. "Master, the counselor wants me to attend the parent-teacher meeting for underperforming students next week..."

His immortal, aloof, otherworldly master gives him a cool glance, three words written in his eyes:

So what?

At 1,100 years old, this is the rebellious phase.

·

Cui Yan was born indifferent to worldly desires and had little interest in making friends. The only person he could call a close friend was Su Chi.

Su Chi's true form is a great fox, with thick, fluffy, flame-red fur. He knows about Cui Yan's little-known hobby:

Cui Yan loves big, fluffy tails.

There is no creature in the world more suited to Cui Yan's tastes than a nine-tailed fox.

Modesty keeps Cui Yan from burying his face in his dear friend's gorgeous tail fur. Instead, he merely strokes it gently.

Su Chi props his chin on his hand and smiles at him. "A Yan, do you know what someone in our relationship should call me in modern society?"

Cui Yan earnestly asks, "What?"

Su Chi leans in, close enough to be dangerous, his smile dazzling and seductive. "Husband."

Cui Yan repeats it with a clear gaze: "Husband."

After a moment of silence, the fox spirit ancestor, now the most powerful fox in the world, looks away first, the tips of his ears turning red.

A few days later, the counselor calls the house again, completely losing it:

"Are you going to do something about that old geezer of yours skipping class by climbing over the wall to go on dates with someone?!!!"

Nothing is more beautiful than love in old age~
