I Went Back in Time and Found Myself

[Please add my new novels to your favorites: The Substitute and His Three CEOs and Fluffy Me Is the Cutest. Blurbs below.]

Zhao Mubai traveled back to the past.

His past self was still a pitiful little thing, without even a penny in his pockets. Yet he had an unyielding backbone, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

His name was Zhao Yan.

*

Zhao Mubai knew himself well. To protect his "own" pride, he could only help him in secret: making sure he had enough to eat and warm clothes to wear, teaching him how to get along in society, and making sure he had shelter from the storm. In the end, he simply brought that little brat under his own roof.

*

They got along well for a long time. Zhao Yan still had his world-weary expression, but Zhao Mubai had long since gotten used to it.

Until one day, Zhao Yan learned the secret.

They had been the same person from birth.

*

Zhao Yan remembered that it had been a stormy day, with peals of thunder and heavy rain. It was an extreme storm that came along only once in ten years.

The rain drowned out every other sound.

For the first time in his life, Zhao Yan felt fear.

*

He held back his trembling voice and glanced from the corner of his eye at the rope he'd prepared in the shadows.

"Will you leave me?"

Fortunately, the gentle man embraced him. His warm breath and the sound of his breathing enveloped Zhao Yan.

"No, Zhao Yan. I came here for you."

*

He came here for me.

And I was born for him.

Zhao Yan thought: Wonderful. We were destined to be entangled until death.

The Substitute and His Three CEOs: Blurb

Tan Xingyan was a professional stand-in. He could perfectly cater to his clients' preferences and pretend to be exactly the person they wanted. Thanks to his excellent professional skills, he landed three jobs at once.

*

During the day, he served tea and water to CEO Number One and helped ease his longing for his ideal lover. In return, the CEO tossed him a check for a hundred million.

At noon, he massaged CEO Number Two and rubbed his back, helping ease his longing for his ideal lover. In return, the CEO tossed him a luxury car.

At night, he spoke gently to CEO Number Three and helped ease his longing for his ideal lover. In return, the CEO tossed him a luxury villa.

*

Tan Xingyan was making a fortune, but just when he was feeling most pleased with himself, he heard that the three CEOs' shared ideal lover had returned.

Tan Xingyan: It's time to take the money and leave in triumph.

Unexpectedly, just as he was leaving, he received another job offer.

His new employer happened to have exactly the same face as the ideal lover.

*

When the original and the impostor met, Tan Xingyan's legs were shaking. He imagined all kinds of ways he'd be punished.

But his employer merely raised his eyelids lazily. "I have an ideal lover too."

Tan Xingyan: ...?! I think I can still hang on.

Fluffy Me Is the Cutest

Tan Yaoyao opened a zoo. Every animal there was an internet celebrity, all fluffy and adorable, making visitors scream and call out, "Baby! Mommy loves you!"

*

The zoo's little darlings attracted plenty of visitors willing to pay for tickets. Its revenue kept climbing, turning from a loss to a profit. What started out run-down became a nationally renowned business.

*

[The panda cub is way too cute!]

[Boohoo, who said that? Don't you think the sloth is the cutest? It's so soft and cuddly.]

[I declare the little peacock the GOAT!]

[What do you think, Boss?]

*

As the zoo's owner, Tan Yaoyao shrugged. They were all her secret identities, so of course they were all equally cute!!
