++ Ruan Linnan was pushed into the water by a villain who had it in for him.

Luckily, a friend rescued him. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his parents and older brother gathered around his hospital bed, lavishing him with love.

Ruan Linnan was just about to tell them, "I'm fine."

Then he noticed a line of text above his hardworking, office-drone father's head: Youngest son of Marshal Ruan.

Ruan Linnan: ?

His mother, who usually liked to lounge around at home, came over too. As she spoke to him with concern, a line of text appeared above her head as well: Only daughter of the Fengna ducal family.

Ruan Linnan: ??

When Ruan Linnan didn't say anything, his usually affectionate parents came over together to check on him.

A passage appeared as they drew near:

We fled our families because we refused an arranged marriage and started a new family of our own, never realizing that the person we were supposed to marry had also run away from their wedding.

Ruan Linnan: ???

Ruan Linnan, who had always thought his family was just an ordinary, comfortably well-off household, looked horrified!

At last, he turned to his older brother, who always gave him his way, and looked at him for help. "Bro..."

His brother emerged from the shadows, and the hidden text above his head now shone brilliantly

The Empire's number-one hacker.

Ruan Linnan's vision went black.

Shen Qingyuan had always thought he would spend his whole life in darkness.

Parents who favored one child to an extreme, a younger brother who lorded it over him, and a shadow that clung to him, one he might never be able to erase in his entire life.

Then he saw Ruan Linnan reaching out to him from the darkness.

From then on, every effort he made was for Ruan Linnan.

That was the light in his heart, one he treasured with the utmost care. He looked up at it in longing, not daring to look directly at the other person even for a moment. He resolved to work hard enough to become the best, so he could be worthy of loving him.

Only once he had enough ability and status could he meet Ruan Linnan's family, too.

When Shen Qingyuan finally joined the military and resolved to meet Ruan Linnan's family,

Ruan Linnan suddenly became the beloved grandson of the powerful Fengna family.

Shen Qingyuan: ?

When Shen Qingyuan became a general, he resolved once again to meet Ruan Linnan's family.

Ruan Linnan suddenly became Marshal Ruan's beloved grandson.

Shen Qingyuan: ??

Shen Qingyuan took a deep breath and hugged Ruan Linnan tightly. "Baby, I'll work even harder!"

Ruan Linnan: ???

*****Below is the ridiculously goofy upcoming story, "Two Boyfriends as Compensation for a System Malfunction"*********************

Qi Qing works for the Time Management Bureau. After winning over Jiang Linyuan, he faked his death and left, successfully turning him into a major villain. But now he's run into a bug.

When he opens his eyes, the first person he sees is Jiang Linyuan at eighteen.

The young man spins a basketball on his fingertips, a cocky smile hiding a hint of youthful awkwardness. "Come on, "

He raises his voice, then quickly lowers it shyly. "W-want to watch me shoot a three-pointer?"

He opens his eyes again and sees Jiang Linyuan at twenty-eight.

The man curls up on a leather sofa and raises bloodshot eyes. Jiang Linyuan narrows his eyes. "...Are you a ghost?"

The next second, the man springs up and grabs Qi Qing by the wrist. His sharply defined fingers dig into Qi Qing's skin, as if clinging to his last lifeline. "Now that you're back, don't even think about leaving again."

"I want to file a work injury claim!" Qi Qing angrily throws down his ID badge. "You're making me deal with both the first-love phase and the villain phase at the same time?"

The System cursor flashes strangely twice, and two timelines collide with a shrill roar.

The young man pulls his collar open, proudly revealing the fresh bite mark on his collarbone. His canine teeth press hard against Qi Qing's neck. "All an old man can do is use cameras and chains. Shameless."

The twenty-eight-year-old Jiang Linyuan unhurriedly wipes the corner of his mouth, where he'd just swallowed something. "The kid needs to check the dictionary three times just to write a love letter."

They both reach out and grab Qi Qing's wrist, staring into his eyes. "Which one do you like better?"

"Me at eighteen?"

"Or me at twenty-eight?"

The System speaks cheerfully: "Complete both missions at once, and the timelines will merge!"

Trapped between them, Qi Qing shrieks, "System, get out here and let's talk! You call this thing an optimization plan?!"

#Two men in one room, one man's trouble is another man's pleasure#

#What's wrong with me dating myself? It's not like I can't get jealous#
