The Days of Being Carried by My Love Rival [Reborn]

[My next novel will be Should We Fake a Couple? With My Ex. Please add it to your reading list! Check my author page. Thanks~]

Story blurb:

Xu Junxia spent his whole life being Yan Jiu'si's rival in love.

In kindergarten, they both liked Honghong from the class next door.

In elementary school, they both liked Huang'er, the prettiest girl in class.

In middle school, they both liked Xiao Qing, the school beauty.

But collecting all seven colors of the rainbow didn't summon a girlfriend. All it got him was the same love rival, year after year.

Then came college, and there was no “after” for them, because Yan Jiu'si got into Hua University's top school, Yu University, ranked first in the entire city, while Xu Junxia was briskly packed off overseas by his father to study, supposedly to add some shine to his resume. In reality, he'd failed a make-up exam and couldn't graduate.

The odds of a plane crashing are one in three million. Unfortunately, Xu Junxia was that one in three million when his flight abroad went down with a clatter into the sea.

Before he could even react, his soul floated over to his own gravestone. There, he saw Yan Jiu'si, who'd been at odds with him since childhood, crying like an idiot. If they weren't love rivals, Xu Junxia would have believed Yan Jiu'si was going to die for him.

When he woke up, Xu Junxia was back in his senior-year classroom.

He looked at the parabola on his test paper, then at his love rival sitting in the same class, and remembered that if he didn't study hard, he would die. He immediately lunged toward him and smiled ingratiatingly. “Genius, lend me one of your legs!”

Yan Jiu'si: “???”

Xu Junxia: “Don't worry, I'm not crazy.”

Yan Jiu'si... Oh no, he's gone crazy.

Notes:

1. A cold-outside, warm-inside genius top x a bottom who always wants to be everyone's dad but is such a hopeless loser he can only be the son.

2. The main characters get together after they reach adulthood.

3. This isn't a simple rebirth story. The two lifetimes intertwine, because even Heaven couldn't bear to let your love be buried in all those years I never knew about.

4. Updated daily. Once I start, I won't abandon it!

Coming soon:

At twenty, Su Mu and Chu Chenglin became a hugely popular couple after starring together in a gay film. Their performance of “The Truth Is True” alone has 52 versions still in circulation.

When their promotional partnership ended, the company ordered them to split up. Faced with a strict contract and a dazzling career, Su Mu told Chu Chenglin, “I'm sorry, I need to keep making money.”

The entertainment industry moves on, with each new wave sweeping the old one away. Su Mu was left washed up on the shore, but he still wanted to ride another wave.

Ten years later, utterly exploited, Su Mu leaves his company burdened with a huge contract termination fee. To keep making a splash, he pulls strings and manages to land a spot on the sensational variety show Go, Brothers!

On the first day of filming, Su Mu rolls in on a skateboard, hoping to make a stylish entrance. He can't stop in time and crashes right into someone's arms. The people around them all gasp, then start saying, “I'm shipping them!”

Su Mu looks up. Isn't this his former... CP partner, who retired from the industry ages ago and made a fortune investing?

Looking at the other man's faintly amused expression, Su Mu's heart skips a beat. If he says, “We had our time,” can he still keep making money?

Su Mu: “What should a man do if not make money?”

Chu Chenglin smiles. “Get together.”

P.S. The bottom is career-driven. The couple reunites after a breakup. The variety show's competition format is based on Call Me by Fire.

Theme: You must study hard!
