My Ex’s “Dad” Wants to Take His Place

Original title: Reborn as Gu Xi Gu Xi was reborn, returning to fifteen years ago. Back then, she had still been stubbornly chasing after Bai Yuzhou, using the joking marriage promise their elders had made to tie him down. She did everything she could to keep him from getting together with Song Rumeng, and in the end, even got together with his father to get revenge on him... So many years had passed. She had actually let it go. After all that fighting, she had ended up with nothing. The only thing she regretted was not saving her child back then. Given another chance, Gu Xi only wanted to change her and her family's fate and live her own life well. After some hesitation, she decided to see Bai Yuzhou one last time. Just as expected, his secretary turned her away. Holding a cup of coffee, she sat silently outside the company. She didn't get to see Bai Yuzhou, but she did spot a familiar figure surrounded by people at the entrance. Their eyes met. Gu Xi froze, never expecting to run into him here. The face that had grown hazy in her memories gradually came into focus. Then she realized it probably wasn't polite to stare so openly and hurriedly looked away, guiltily. But suddenly, she couldn't help remembering all those nights when he'd held her down beneath him. She could almost hear his rough, uneven breathing in her ear... Her face grew hot. That was the most reckless thing she had ever done in her previous life. In a word, an old flame had caught fire again, and there was no putting it out. Reader's note: 1.

Coming next: The Big Shot Doesn't “Talk” The first time Tang Yu saw Zan Mian, they were in a dimly lit stairwell. The man had injured his foot and was moving slowly with a cane. Hearing footsteps behind him, he deliberately moved aside. As they passed each other, the faint light overhead fell on his thin frame. She could just make out the pitted, burned skin on his face. Perhaps sensing her gaze, he turned his head away from her. Tang Yu realized she had been rude and felt a little guilty. But after that, she never saw him again. It took an accident later on to prompt her to knock on the door next door, and that's when the two of them really got to know each other. Tang Yu had always thought he was an ordinary retired professor. Sometimes she would complain to him about the stress of work and ramble about the little things in her life. He was never the least bit impatient, always listening quietly, warm and understanding. The huge age gap and practical realities between them made it easy to dismiss the odd feelings she occasionally noticed. It wasn't until an accident that Tang Yu learned he was a leading figure in the world of mathematics. The manuscripts and diaries he had kept not only rocked the world, but also turned her life upside down, catapulting her from an obscure, struggling reporter to a top editor. After waking up from a car accident, Tang Yu discovered that she had transmigrated to 1994. That year, the professor was exactly eighteen and the top student in the school. And somehow, she had become his younger brother's girlfriend, with a head of dyed blond hair. The professor walked up to her and frowned. “Stay away from my brother.” Tang Yu: “...” Theme: Love life, stand on your own two feet, and keep striving.
