Back to the Day I First Met the Tycoon

Su Xubai was reborn, returning to the darkest, most wretched point in his life: age twenty-one.

Back then, just as he had taken over the company upon coming of age, his uncle had stabbed him in the back, leaving him buried in debts beyond count. He spent every day navigating the world of wealth and fame, skillfully negotiating with the vulgar businessmen he had once looked down on.

He had not yet gone down the obsessive path of scheming to the last detail for revenge, valuing money above his own life. In his past life, that path had led to his early death in a yacht explosion.

As he fell into the sea of flames, the only person who rushed to save him without a second thought was someone he had hurt and ignored for years.

Looking at the man he'd wounded, who had nevertheless put the past aside to save him, Su Xubai felt regret for the first time in his life.

Fortunately, he'd come back. There was still time to make things right.

Su Xubai let out a long breath and pushed himself upright. Then he saw the bluish-purple hickeys covering his body, and the handsome, familiar-looking man sleeping beside him. The excitement on Su Xubai's face gradually crumbled.

*

In his past life, in order to sabotage one of his uncle's business deals, Su Xubai had lured away Chi Ye's arranged-marriage partner at Chi Ye's engagement party, then slept with Chi Ye himself.

The scandal blew up, the business deal fell through, and he'd ruined Chi Ye's marriage as well.

For a long time afterward, Chi Ye had despised him. Whenever their work brought them together, Chi Ye would treat him with open hostility.

So Su Xubai couldn't understand why this man had come to save him. But whatever the reason, he couldn't drag him into trouble again.

And yet he'd been reborn at precisely this point in time.

Su Xubai did everything he could, using what he'd learned in his previous life to make things up to Chi Ye and help him. He hoped that this time, Chi Ye wouldn't end up alone and hating all forms of intimacy like he had in his past life.

At last, everything was going well. Chi Ye even took power several years earlier than he had in his previous life. Su Xubai felt he'd made more than enough amends and was just about to step away with a satisfied smile.

But Chi Ye suddenly pinned him behind the office door. The man's eyes were dark and deep, his touch gentle but impossible to resist.

"Why are you running? You went to all that trouble to sleep with me, and you've been so good to me, both openly and behind the scenes. Doesn't that mean you like me? Where do you think you're going now?"

Su Xubai looked up in confusion. "...Huh?"

I'm not running! Wait, hold on! Weren't you supposed to hate men?!
