A Young Scholar from the Republic Era in the Modern World

[Next novel: Surviving the Apocalypse with Fluffy Friends (Reborn). Please add it to your collection~]

Gu Juexing, a young scholar from the Republic of China era, had to drop out of school because of war and famine. Longing to continue his studies, he died saving his teacher during an air raid, then unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of Gu Juexing, a rebellious high school student who hated studying in 2015.

The first thing he did after getting up was open a book. Seeing the Chinese characters with their arms and legs missing, he burst into tears. Thank goodness, he was still in Huaxia.

And it was a peaceful, prosperous Huaxia!

Gu Juexing worked hard to adjust to modern life, becoming more excited and more moved with every passing day!

He'd gone from having nothing in his previous life (no food, no books, no life) to having everything (meals, books, and a golden finger that made him a top student).

Gu Juexing had wanted to study in his previous life, but no one had been there to teach him. Now he discovered the kindhearted top student Su Wenzhi. What a great guy!

There was just one problem: Su Wenzhi was too affectionate, always getting handsy, which made Gu Juexing, who came from the Republic of China era, rather uncomfortable.

Su Wenzhi, a top student who always held first place and never needed to sleep, noticed something strange.

Gu Juexing, an unnoticed nobody and poor student, had started sleeping in class a month ago, and he slept more soundly every day. This caught the attention of Su Wenzhi, who had never known what it felt like to sleep.

Then, after accidentally touching him during a school power outage, he was astonished to discover that he slept for an hour that night!

And so, the aloof Su Wenzhi, who thought everyone around him was trash, met Gu Juexing, who saw him as a gallant, noble-hearted gentleman.

After Su Wenzhi finished explaining a problem to him, he earned yet another Good Person Card.

Su Wenzhi twirled his pen and coolly dropped a bombshell: "I'm tired of collecting Good Person Cards. How about you sleep with me instead?"

Gu Juexing: "What?!"

Su Wenzhi: "Oh, I mean, how about you sit next to me instead?"

From then on, the students in Class One noticed that the top student, who never used to sleep in class, was sleeping, while poor student Gu Juexing had risen to become a top student. Could improving your grades really be as easy as sacrificing a little of the top student's energy?

They were so jealous.

Gu Juexing noticed the same thing and grew worried.

Gu Juexing rambled: "Wenzhi, maybe we shouldn't sit together next time. I'm distracting you from your studies, and I feel really bad..."

Su Wenzhi sat up from his desk and covered his mouth.

Gu Juexing: "Mmph, mmph! (I won't say any more. Let go!)"

Su Wenzhi didn't budge. He counted the seconds in his head and thought, Good. Today I won't have to rack my brains trying to find a way to touch him.

Everyone knows that Class One's newly minted top student, Gu Juexing, has three great loves: reading, eating, and watching ridiculous dramas!

Class One has a special reward: each month, the student who improves the most gets to watch TV based on their interests. Ever since then, the students in Class One...

"Aaaah! Gu Juexing, what's with your taste? You're watching another over-the-top anti-Japanese drama!"

"It's great!"

Pairing: Su Wenzhi, the sleepless top student (seme) x Gu Juexing, the young scholar from the Republic of China era (uke)

Blurb:

[Disasters + spatial powers + adorable pets + farming and hoarding supplies + fighting zombies]

Xu Guan was sent out as cannon fodder during a zombie siege and died.

When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn, back to two weeks before the apocalypse.

Xu Guan clutched his head, which his cheating ex-boyfriend had hit, and was overjoyed. He certainly hadn't gone crazy from the blow.

It wasn't too late.

His spatial powers had come with him. His two beloved dogs were still there. And his best friend, who had gone bankrupt for his sake and died when the apocalypse began, was still alive and well.

Xu Guan would make good use of these two golden weeks: turn his assets into cash, gather supplies, and prepare a safe house.

He would never again lose the most important people in his life!

But gradually, Xu Guan realized there was something unusual about his dogs.

A caramel-cake-colored Chinese village dog, Ahuang, had grown exceptionally smart. He and his owner could understand each other perfectly. "You're so stupid, Master! Your ex-boyfriend smelled like someone else's perfume, and you only just noticed."

Tiantian, a cotton-candy Samoyed, licked Xu Guan's injuries enthusiastically, wearing an angelic smile. "Poor Master, you got hurt and there's no one of your own kind to lick your wounds. Good thing I'm here to be your devoted little sweetheart."

In his previous life, Xu Guan had spent a week in the hospital. This time, he recovered in just two days.

Even the cool, handsome stray Malinois he fed had incredible fighting ability. Before Xu Guan could do anything, one bark from the dog sent the would-be thief running in terror.

Looking at his dogs, who clung to him and spun around, grinning foolishly,

Xu Guan wondered: Could being reborn not be my only golden finger? Could having a whole pack of adorable, capable fluffy friends be my golden finger too?!

Su Mengsheng had lost his family and been bitten by a zombie. In utter despair,

Xu Guan jumped out of the car with a pack of dogs, covered his eyes, and held him close.

"The person I've secretly loved was willing to hold me as I was dying. That's nice."

That was Su Mengsheng's last thought before he passed out.

Su Mengsheng hadn't expected to wake up again, though he couldn't see.

Xu Guan told him, "Better to live on miserably than die. If you keep living, maybe you'll find a reason to live."

Su Mengsheng stared with vacant, lifeless eyes and clung tightly to Xu Guan's hand. "You saved me, so you can't abandon me. I'll cling to you for the rest of my life!"

Xu Guan: I told you to keep living, not to cling to me...

Rumors spread in secret among the major bases of Huaguo about a terrifying, lecherous ability user named Xu Guan. Whatever you do, don't offend him!

One small base offended him, and more than a hundred people, including over twenty ability users, were slaughtered by him overnight. Not a single person survived.

Even the rare, top-tier ability user with both metal and water powers, Su Mengsheng, wasn't spared. Because he was good-looking, he was captured and forced to sing, warm someone's bed, and feed vicious dogs until he was covered in wounds.

He possessed all kinds of powerful abilities: mental attacks that were impossible to guard against, charm attacks that could beguile people, and sound-wave attacks that killed without a trace.

He also commanded a pack of fiercely loyal vicious dog underlings.

And most unbelievably, he wasn't afraid of being bitten by zombies. He even had healing powers!

Terrifying! Truly terrifying!

Xu Guan: Huh? To be honest, I said the dogs did all that. Would anyone believe me?

Pairing: Xu Guan, a big-bad-wolf uke with a firepower deficiency phobia x Su Mengsheng, a seemingly lively puppy who is actually an obsessive, unhinged seme

Premise: Time and learning are too precious to waste.
