Li You had a miserable life in his previous life.

Only after he died did he discover that the whole world was a novel. His second brother was the universally beloved protagonist, while he was the universally despised foil. His family showed him little affection, he and his childhood friend had fallen out, and even the only person he liked, his childhood sweetheart, was in love with his second brother.

He was reborn in his senior year of high school.

Li You put aside his unnecessary thoughts and stopped getting tangled up in the past. He decided that the best thing to do with his youth was to work hard.

He became a study machine and turned his life around, going from the bottom of his grade to a star student in the mock exams. Along with his newfound academic success, people also came to recognize the breathtaking beauty that had once been hidden beneath his universally hated reputation.

Everyone thought Li You had changed.

The childhood sweetheart who had once ignored Li You's feelings became clingy, and even started acting coy.

His childhood friend, who used to love tormenting him, seemed like a different person too, now putting his hands on Li You with a flirtatious edge.

Even the boys in his class who had never liked him began going out of their way to make amends, sincerely asking for his forgiveness.

But after returning from the darkness, Li You came to his senses. Everything in his previous life felt like a dream. He no longer wanted to fight or compete. All he wanted was to change the fate written in the original novel and live a new life.

A gossip post on the school forum shot to the top of the trending list, becoming fresh fodder for idle chatter among a small circle at Yinghua. Li You knew nothing about it.

In reality, he and the other person at the center of the rumor spent every day sitting together in silence, keeping to themselves and enjoying a quiet life.

But Li You was always watching him.

It had nothing to do with romance. Shortly after Li You died, at his funeral, the other man had publicly provoked his second brother at the latter's birthday banquet, drawing everyone's disapproval.

His words had been full of concern for Li You and anger at the unfairness done to him.

Li You kept going further down the path of getting along with the villain.

Things around him slowly began to change. Only He Chao remained as ill-tempered as ever. Yet when they were in their dorm, he was restless and moody around Li You. He would even avert his eyes when Li You changed clothes, and never look him straight in the eye. His moods were far too unpredictable.

Later, when the rumors got out of hand, Li You finally realized something was wrong.

He made a point of distancing himself. At last, after they had a miserable falling-out during a weekend tutoring session, He Chao disappeared.

One day after the college entrance exams, the person who had been gone for so long showed up in front of Li You again. He seemed to have been rehearsing what he wanted to say for ages, and there was a hint of reproach in his voice. "Why did you stop looking at me?"

Li You thought it was all a misunderstanding, but the person before him caught his fingertips in his hand.

Their eyes met. In those light-colored eyes, defiant and untamed, Li You saw his own reflection.

"I've really missed you... Li You."

A quiet, sweet, effortlessly flirtatious, oblivious, slow-witted, sickly bottom × a short-tempered, hypocritical, self-deluding, unruly attack dog of a top

Important!!! This novel is entirely fictional. Life is precious, so cherish it! This story does not promote anything harmful, and some characters' values do not represent the author's own!

[Content notes! The bottom will remain physically weak. He won't turn into Iron Man just because he was reborn. His personality will grow, but the author is terrible at logic, and everything serves the plot. This isn't a traditional face-slapping power fantasy. The main focus is the romance and mutual healing!]

[Reading guide]

1. There isn't much content from before his rebirth. This is a nontraditional school story, covering high school and then college.

2. The bottom's personality differs before and after his rebirth. Neither lead is perfect.

3. 1v1, happy ending, endgame couple.

4. Features a little groveling, love-triangle drama, and melodrama. Some side characters have one-sided crushes, but anyone who bullied the bottom will get what's coming to them!!! The author does not condone bullying!

5. The main supporting characters and the top are adults, and their actions reflect that. They are responsible for their own choices.

Coming soon: The Sickly Beauty Won't Be a Substitute

Qi Rong awakened to the truth after someone shoved him into a pool in front of everyone at a party.

In this over-the-top wealthy-family melodrama, he was the story's biggest villain.

Qi Rong was happy to accept that. He had never thought of himself as a good person.

Ever since joining the Qi family, he had used his status as the Second Master of the Qis to throw his weight around, stirring up trouble across U City and acting like a spoiled tyrant.

But he had been born with a face of peerless beauty. He had countless enemies, but just as many admirers.

In the novel, the protagonist top mistook him for his childhood crush. Qi Rong fell hopelessly in love with him, only to be tricked and killed by a pack of petty schemers.

And when his face had been ruined and he was forced to jump into the sea, the protagonist top watched coldly, holding his own beloved in his arms.

When Qi Rong discovered that the beloved was his younger brother, who had gone missing from the orphanage years ago, he smiled knowingly.

Did they really think they were such good people?

After dealing with the worm who had shoved him into the pool, Qi Rong readily accepted an invitation from U City's rapidly rising business tycoon and headed to a charity banquet.

This banquet marked a turning point in the story, and the first meeting between him and the protagonist top.

He tilted his wrist as if by accident, spilling red wine across the young man's lapel. As the scent of wine filled the air, he looked up and saw the young man momentarily dazed.

Qi Rong's thin lips curled. He thought maliciously, I've got a fish on the hook.

Everything that followed happened naturally. The young man approached him, struck up a friendship, and invited him out to eat and drink. Qi Rong accepted every invitation.

Everything went exactly as it had in the novel.

No one knew that Qi Rong, normally aloof and distant, would spend his nights seductively entwined with the clueless young man at his side.

During a kidnapping deliberately arranged by someone else, Qi Rong let Wei Yi see his real childhood crush, supposedly by accident.

Once again, the young man wore a dazed, disbelieving look.

Qi Rong smiled as if he were mad. His younger brother was being held hostage, about to be thrown into the sea.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wei Yi rush forward without hesitation.

The plot had moved ahead of schedule. This time, the person pushed into the sea was the beloved.

And Qi Rong was the one who watched coldly.

But as he watched the two of them plunge into the sea, a trace of irritation mingled with his satisfaction, though he didn't even notice it himself.

He waited for Wei Yi to come back to him, but Wei Yi disappeared along with his beloved.

Later, Qi Rong escaped the plot's course. When the Qi family was sabotaged and on the brink of ruin, he single-handedly turned things around. The family power fell into new hands, and he ended the struggle by taking the top position.

He never mentioned Wei Yi again, assuming he was dead.

At another banquet, he was chatting and laughing with the lover at his side when he turned and ran into someone familiar.

Rumor had it that the only son of an extraordinarily wealthy international tycoon would make his first public appearance that night. They said someone had deceived him, body and soul, and that he had returned to settle the score.

They met by chance, and their eyes locked.

The scruffy boy from before had become the lofty heir to a tycoon, and he now held a business deal that could shape the Qi family's future.

Wei Yi walked toward him step by step, ignoring the man beside Qi Rong. In front of everyone, he leaned close and whispered into Qi Rong's ear:

"Mr. Qi, are you looking for a lover?"

Qi Rong raised his hand without hesitation and slapped him.

The people around them gasped, but Wei Yi only smiled as if he couldn't care less, grabbing the young man's wrist and pulling him close.

"Go on a date with me, and I'll give you the Tangshan project as a meeting gift."

Qi Rong smiled calmly and shook off his hand, turning to leave. But the young man caught his arm again, his voice and eyes both turning dark.

"You can have anything you want..."

The childhood-crush misunderstanding is a false lead! There isn't much I can say without spoilers. The leads are devoted to each other in body and heart. 1v1, happy ending!

A cunning, scheming master of seduction who loves to fish (Qi Rong), the bottom × an earnest young man who becomes obsessive (Wei Yi), the top

Coming soon: The Fake Young Master Becomes Everyone's Darling After Falling Into a Love Triangle

Li Zhen had spent eighteen years as the Li family's spoiled, willful young master. Then, on the eve of his coming-of-age ceremony, the Lis brought home a refined and elegant young man.

His mother, who had always doted on him, took the young man by the hand and said he was the Li family's real second young master.

So Li Zhen was a fake.

When the real young master came home, Li Zhen went from being the center of everyone's attention to having nothing.

The Li family was willing to keep him, on the condition that he behave himself and accept his place as the third young master.

With no one else to turn to, Li Zhen had nowhere to go.

The real young master looked down on him, and even his childhood friend next door treated him coldly. When everyone had turned against him, only Zhou Yueze treated him as he always had.

Zhou Yueze had grown up abroad and returned to the country when he was fifteen. Their families were close, so the two became friends. Li Zhen knew Zhou Yueze was born with every advantage, but he had never met a golden boy who was such a fool.

When Li Zhen shamelessly showed up at a gathering with his old friends and got thrown out, Zhou Yueze drove over to pick him up.

When someone dumped red wine on him in front of everyone at a party, Zhou Yueze gently draped a coat over his shoulders and took him away.

When Li Zhen tried to win over the real young master and was spotted by a servant, causing him to lose his footing and tumble down the stairs, Zhou Yueze was the first to arrive and take him to the hospital.

That fall left Li Zhen battered and bruised, but it also knocked some sense into him.

Having a fool by his side who would never abandon him didn't seem so bad.

He ought to have been content, but he greedily wanted Zhou Yueze to be kind to him and him alone.

·

Li Zhen finally stopped making trouble and disappeared from everyone's sight. But those who had once intentionally or unintentionally hurt him began to feel uneasy.

The real young master, gentle on the surface and sinister underneath, took the initiative to ask if he had enough pocket money.

His proud childhood friend sent him a message with red ears, inviting him to his birthday party.

His unruly roommate, who had mocked him from the moment they met, silently sent him a whole roomful of gifts to apologize.

But Li Zhen changed his phone number and packed his things, moving out of the Li family home as quickly as he could.

He didn't want any of them. Zhou Yueze alone was enough.

·

Zhou Yueze was a kind man with more money than sense, the only rabbit in a den of wolves. But Li Zhen liked him anyway.

Li Zhen admitted that he was a big bad wolf who put on an act and played for sympathy. Everyone knew wolves ate rabbits.

One snowy night, tipsy from the alcohol, he took advantage of the moment and kissed the rabbit by force.

P.S. The bottom is an insecure, calculating little fox. Everything he does is just to make life a little easier for himself. He's a spoiled child.
