[Updated daily at 9 PM! Unit Three is about to conclude] Thanks for stopping by, mwah!
[Spitfire little sunshine x aloof, tsundere doting type]
Wen Shifei swore that he and his nemesis, Pu Yu, would be enemies to the bitter end. As long as he lived, he would keep fighting him, all the way to the end of the world!
Pu Yu glanced at the calendar: December 20, 2012.
According to the Mayan prophecy, tomorrow he could kiss this little cutie to death.
Blurb 1
Everyone at the conservatory knew Wen Shifei and Pu Yu were mortal enemies. One was the loudest suona player, the other the most refined guqin player: ear-splitting noise versus music too lofty for ordinary listeners, vulgarity versus elegance. They had been at each other's throats since childhood, sworn enemies who could never coexist.
Whenever they met, Wen Shifei played "The Grand Funeral Procession" to curse Pu Yu. Pu Yu hugged his Fuxi guqin and rolled his eyes so often he worried he'd catch idiocy from the other guy.
"What about the things the whole school doesn't know?"
Wen Shifei, the little menace who wreaked havoc wherever he went, limped into the guqin practice room he hated most and stumbled inside in a sorry state.
Pu Yu lifted his cool, clear eyes and met a pair of red-rimmed, aggrieved eyes.
Wen Shifei: "Carry me home."
"..."
Pu Yu changed into a disguise, put on a mask and hat, and made sure no one would recognize him.
He crouched down gently, let Wen Shifei climb onto his back, picked up the other man's shoes, and carried him out of campus without drawing attention.
Just as he had done all their lives.

Blurb 2
As the heir to a funeral-services dynasty, Wen Shifei came home from school one day to find employees from the embalming, funerary goods, funeral services, and cemetery departments all greeting him: "The young master is home."
Wen Shifei's gaze passed over them and landed on a cool, aloof face.
"What are you doing at my house? Are you dying? Turn right when you leave and head to the service hall. If you die now, you can get our 8,888-yuan end-of-life care package. The deal ends tomorrow, so hurry up."
Pu Yu acted completely out of character. "All right."
"?"
Pu Yu: "Can I choose who provides the care?"
"That costs extra."
"Can I ask the attendant to do anything?"
"That costs extra."
"Then I want your young master to provide the care himself."
"???"
Only when Wen Shifei was pinned against a coffin lid and kissed did he realize what was happening.
Hey, hey, hey! That's not the kind of care I meant!!!!
On this day, December 21, 2012, rumors ran rampant all over the internet.
The Mayans had predicted the end of the world was upon us.
This world needed a little end-of-life care.

[Little bonus scene]
A young woman's body suddenly appears on campus. Patients pass away at the hospital. A charitable old man living alone dies... The funeral home receives and sees off its clients, and Wen Shifei bears witness to life and death.
When he turns around, only his nemesis is there, waiting to carry him home.
"Is death the end?"
"No. Death is the fruit."
Pu Yu couldn't help recalling his childhood, when his life hung by a thread. Wen Shifei barged into his world, at the cost of losing a leg forever.
Wen Shifei sat in his wheelchair, beautiful but broken, yet never resigned to his fate. He was like a spoiled little sun.
"Then why did you take my fruit away?"
"Because we're still saplings. It's not time for us to blossom and bear fruit yet."

[Adorably needy, pretty little princess x sharp-tongued, secretly doting tsundere]
Here's a character profile for all you readers, courtesy of Boss Zhipin (T_T)
Wen Shifei
A cute, beautiful, oblivious little hellion who wreaks havoc wherever he goes. The pampered young master of a leading funeral-services company, with extensive experience in funeral processions (very extensive).
Being a little shit is his life's greatest joy. Disabled but determined.
When the suona plays, gold pours in by the tens of thousands. He goes around telling everyone his nemesis is dead.
At his first-birthday grab ceremony, he grabbed himself a husband.
Pu Yu
A cool, pretentious immortal, a prodigy from a guqin-making family.
Has a serious older-brother complex. Secretly spoils Wen Shifei, though everyone thinks he's picking a fight.
Takes endless pleasure in watching Wen Shifei act like a little shit.
A stubborn tsundere, a wonderfully scheming jealous king.
When someone held a first-birthday grab ceremony for him, he grabbed a certain someone. ( )
He secretly raised his lame-legged nemesis into a spoiled little princess. What a dastardly plan.

[Unlucky, silly beauty uke x somewhat domineering but eccentric god seme]
Jian Fan has been unlucky since childhood, the undisputed king of bad luck. People say heaven favors pretty children, but he isn't so sure!
He always chokes on his water, trips on perfectly flat ground whenever he goes out, fails every exam, gets instant noodles without seasoning packets, and somehow manages to rent the one haunted house in ten thousand...
After twenty years of bad luck, he finally struck it lucky and won a scholarship, only to be told the next day that someone else had taken his spot.
He really can't take it anymore. The amazing Little Li is terrified of hardship, so let him have a little cry.
Jian Fan crouched by the roadside, radiating gloom as he fed the Evil Sword Immortal until it was plump and happy.
"Hey, stop crying."
A breathtakingly handsome man appeared before him. He called himself the God of Good Fortune, from the Good Luck Agency, and said he was there to hand out good luck.
The God of Good Fortune confidently handed Jian Fan his business card. He was even a CEO.
With an arrogant look, the god showed off his record of excellent results: promotions, wealth, relief from illness and disaster. There was no bad luck he couldn't sweep away, no great fortune he couldn't bring.
Jian Fan: "So you're a janitor?"
"I'm a god."
"Then why are you carrying a broom?"
"It's my divine weapon."
"A CEO who goes down to the front lines and does the work himself?"
"...People like you are too much for them to handle."
Jian Fan could only smile wryly. He didn't believe anyone could make him stop being unlucky. Not even the Jade Emperor could do it. My bad luck is mine to decide, not heaven's.
The God of Good Fortune insisted on taking the challenge. Jian Fan sighed gloomily. "Go ahead."
An hour passed. His bad luck was as immovable as a rock, and the more the god swept, the more there was.
The God of Good Fortune: "...That's impossible."
Jian Fan: "Is it possible that you're actually the God of Bad Luck?"
The god's face darkened. "I have been in charge of good fortune for a thousand years. Everyone who has met me has had a run of good luck without exception."
"What about me?"
The God of Good Fortune refused to accept it and dragged Jian Fan off to buy lottery tickets and try every other test of luck.
A day passed. Under the dark, windy night sky, a god and a man crouched dejectedly by the roadside.
The God of Good Fortune: "How did it turn out like this?"
Jian Fan: "Forget it. This is just how my life is going to be."
The god fell into deep thought for a moment. "I forbid it."
He! Ac! Tu! Al! Ly! Forbade it!
Jian Fan sighed and tried to comfort him. "Mr. God of Good Fortune, why not find someone else? Don't let me mess up your numbers."
The god looked fierce, as if he had made up his mind. "One last move: luck upon luck."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I'll give myself to you. From now on, you will be my master."
Jian Fan was startled.
All kinds of images flashed through his mind.
With a hint of bashfulness and a hint of perversion, he looked over and felt something stir inside him. "Y-you're going that far?"
Theme: Develop a healthy, open-minded perspective on life and death
I missed reading a lot of it some time ago, and it feels so good to catch up now and read it to the end. The endings of the two units of this book can make me feel a surge in my heart. This is really the most meaningful moment of the text 🥺 Ning Fanqiu, he changed that ordinary person. How could a child who was so outstanding, loved, and raised so well be ordinary, let alone extraordinary? His birth was given extraordinary significance. I hope he is extraordinary and can benefit the Ning family. The Ning family pursues his excellence more than wanting him to be happy, so they abandon him without mercy. He raises a chess piece that can add glory, not a child. Annoying, he didn't bother to be born in this world. His parents took him to a detention center. He loved him so much before but was so cruel. He has a pessimism that he has never had before. Will he still believe in love? Will he believe that there is love in the world that is not for repaying kindness? But the power of loving someone is too strong because of his love. He is willing to hold on a little longer because of his love. He is willing to hold on a little longer and stay with his lover a little longer. In this world where he does not want to be born, a little longer. Fortunately, in the last time, he spent the last time with the person he loves and the person who loves him, in the place he likes. They met at the sea, and they were really separated at the sea. They simply hid a little bit, which can be regarded as a thought in the world. He was in the place closest to his heart. God was really greedy. He took away Ning Fanqiu and wanted to take away Ning Fanqiu who was desperately living. Fanqiu has an afterlife in a world with Qin Ke. In the next life, he will live a hundred years and stay with him for a long, long time. Qin Ke, cherish it. The water will circulate between the sea and the land, or every rain you encounter in Tibet. It's a reunion with my lover
I am so overbearing that you are not allowed to fall in love with me or with others, but you must pamper me and love me. I am the only one in the world.
Hhh laughed to death [Purple Sugar] kswl
I thought I was stupid at work and overthinking it, but I didn't expect that Wen Yu might really be adopted. What a fool.
Jade, let me see how you respond, not only Jade but I also didn't respond🐶 Both of them said forever and a lifetime, that is, they will be together for the rest of their lives, no matter what [glasses]
I said that the first few chapters felt very innocent, well, I was really just a child. Jade, I really feel like the sky is falling, everyone is being blacklisted🐶
This is so funny. My dad is a big mouth and everyone knows it.
Thinking of Jia Ji, I must feel very uncomfortable when a boy I like is exploring and teasing about my homosexuality.
Wow, we're going to have close contact, hehe
I kept laughing while reading this chapter, hehe. Jade, please don't die. If you die at the age of 13, even if you become a male ghost, you won't be able to fall in love. You can only sit around and cover yourself with quilts, draw the curtains, turn off the lights, etc. Finally, I want to say something. Just as a 12-year-old young lady will be electrocuted, a ghost will also be bombarded [covering face and laughing]
