Ji Bozhou got into a car accident on his way back from the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships. In the last few seconds before he lost consciousness, the decorated athlete, winner of countless medals and honors, could think only of how he had never gotten to embrace the person he loved. He was filled with regret.
Who would have thought fate would give him another chance, letting him be reborn on the day he had just joined the national team as a naturalized athlete?
When he met Jian Chi again, Ji Bozhou swore that this time he would have it all: love and a career!
And so, he took the joke “The end of the skating rink leads to orthopedics” as gospel and put it into practice.
Teammate 1: “Since when did Brother Zhou get so delicate? He’s always running to the medical room.”
Teammate 2: “No kidding. He went there just yesterday. I asked what was wrong, and he said he had a leg cramp...”
Every time Ji Bozhou returned from the medical room, he was met with his teammates’ confused stares.
He flashed a roguish smile. “There’s nothing wrong with me. I just went to see my wife.”
His teammates sighed. “So you were after something other than medical care!”
A few seconds later, everyone’s eyes widened. “But aren’t all our team doctors men?”
-
Maybe it was just his imagination, but Ji Bozhou noticed that Jian Chi, the team doctor who had barely given him the time of day in his previous life, was surprisingly nice to him this time around. No matter what domestic or international competition he entered, Jian Chi always asked to come along.
Between competitions, Ji Bozhou wondered how to take their relationship to the next level, while also investigating the true cause of the car accident in his previous life.
To his surprise, Jian Chi was secretly investigating it too.
After speculating every which way, Ji Bozhou finally asked, “Were you reborn too?”
Jian Chi nodded, lowering his eyes as he asked in return, “You stole a kiss from me that day, didn’t you?”
Ji Bozhou gave a roguish grin. “I didn’t steal it. I kissed you openly and honestly.”

I. My next novel is "After Transmigrating into a Villainous Male Supporting Character, I Become a Hit on a Parenting Reality Show and Get Together with the Male Lead". Please add it to your library! Blurb:
Chi Yunqian transmigrates into a book, becoming the villainous male supporting character who shares his name. The original Chi Yunqian was selfish and ruthless, willing to do anything to win the male lead’s affection. He beat his own son and plotted against the male lead’s love interest. In the end, he was sent to prison and died by suicide, full of resentment.
A man isn’t worth throwing your life away for. Chi Yunqian has no intention of repeating the original’s mistakes. He decides to divorce the male lead, who doesn’t love him, and raise their twin sons on his own.
To earn money to raise the kids, Chi Yunqian joins a parenting reality show, just as the book’s plot dictates. Sure enough, the notorious man is showered with abuse as soon as his participation is announced:
“Married into a rich family, and now he’s bringing the kids to the entertainment industry. What, is his marriage falling apart?”
“Like father, like son. I just hope those two kids don’t mess with our precious babies!”
In the first episode, the children complete their tasks through hard work. Before bed, they insist on singing a goodnight song for all the aunties and big sisters watching at home, and after filming, they give the camera crew candy to thank them. The viewers are surprised by how adorable and heartwarming they are:
“The boys are so sweet and well-behaved! If he raised kids like these, he can’t be that bad a person, right?”
“They’re just following a script. He’s using the show to clean up his image.”
In the second episode, Chi Yunqian makes a mistake, but his sons end up paying for it. Without a hint of guilt, he says, “It’s fine. Kids make their own way in the world. Their good fortune is still to come.” The viewers want to criticize him, but can’t help feeling he has a point:
“Chi Yunqian’s brutally honest takes are unpleasant, but why can’t I bring myself to hate him? What is this?”
“The older brother is obsessed with his little brother, and the little brother is obsessed with his dad. In the end, they’re both worrying about their dad. What did Chi Yunqian do to deserve this? Ahhh!”
-
Chi Yunqian is photographed drinking with a certain boss to land an endorsement deal, and online chatter about his marriage falling apart is once again running wild.
After seeing the video and comments online, Xie Si is too agitated to focus on work. If Chi Yunqian needs an endorsement, he’ll ask him for one, just like before, and have him help with this and that. But Chi Yunqian doesn’t come to him. What’s more, Xie Si notices that lately Chi Yunqian hasn’t been asking him for anything, and doesn’t even start conversations with him anymore... So Xie Si starts keeping a close eye on him.
Chi Yunqian needs an endorsement, and Xie Si gets him one, then arranges even more. Chi Yunqian wants to release an album, and Xie Si immediately puts him in touch with top music producers. Chi Yunqian seems to need money, so Xie Si doubles his monthly payments...
When Chi Yunqian feels he has made enough money, he puts a divorce agreement in front of Xie Si. “Sign it.”
Xie Si freezes, then asks without thinking, “I still haven’t treated you well enough, have I?”
Chi Yunqian doesn’t understand. “Huh?”
Xie Si explains, looking a little flustered. “I admit I was... cold to you before. I know I was wrong, and I’m doing my best to make it up to you. If I haven’t done enough, just tell me. I’ll change.”
Chi Yunqian gets it. “Huh??”
Xie Si gently takes his hand. “So, how about we don’t get divorced?”
