Blurb:

Yue Zexi was never loved by either of his parents. He was taken in and raised by his father’s childhood friend, but he developed feelings for that man that he should not have had.

He planned to confess to Shen Yi on his eighteenth birthday, only to learn that Shen Yi had been stabbed to death in the street. The only things Yue Zexi received in the end were the cake Shen Yi had bought and his ashes.

He drifted through the rest of his life in a daze, then was reborn in the year Shen Yi turned seventeen.

So he went crazy trying to get Shen Yi’s attention. He started with Shen Yi’s friends, classmates, and teachers, surrounding him and chasing him wherever he went, as if he meant to pour out all the feelings he had never voiced over the years.

Shen Yi, the school bully who dreamed of ruling Tenghe No. 1 High with his underlings, had no idea when he had offended this impossible guy. He watched Shen Yi study, stopped him from getting into fights, and even flipped through a college application guide to ask where he wanted to go to university.

Looking at his grades, which would barely get him into college even if they were doubled, Shen Yi decided the handsome top student who had dropped out of the sky had studied himself crazy.

He resolutely rejected every advance Yue Zexi made, including, but not limited to: a study plan tailor-made for him, targeted tutoring after class, and weekend date invitations.

“Two guys going ice-skating?” Shen Yi looked at Yue Zexi’s invitation and became more and more convinced it sounded like “100 Things to Do with Someone You Like.” After that, the school bully who had once ruled Tenghe No. 1 High began avoiding Yue Zexi.

He lent the notes Yue Zexi had given him to the student in front of him, deliberately went back to scoring last in the class on the next exam, and even stopped passing the ball to Yue Zexi during PE basketball games.

When Yue Zexi realized that the seventeen-year-old Shen Yi was not the same person as the one he had known, he thought, Fine.

The missing notebook, the empty seat beside him, and Yue Zexi, who had once been awkward but tried desperately to get close to him and was now keeping his distance.

Shen Yi had no idea what he had done wrong. He had even dreamed of doing homework and skating around with Yue Zexi.

The arrogant school bully pinned him in a corner against the wall, eyes red, and gritted out the words as he stared at the slender boy whose calmness was frightening.

“Yue Zexi, you were the one who started this.”

When Yue Zexi’s slender fingers touched Shen Yi’s brow again, Shen Yi tilted his head to dodge and glared at him. “I’m not him.”

Yue Zexi paused, then smiled.

The boy wrapped an arm around Shen Yi’s neck and kissed him, passionately and without hesitation.

“I know you’re not him. You’re the Shen Yi I love.”

One-on-one romance, sweet overall, happy ending.

Important: The Shen Yi from the first life really did die. The Shen Yi from the second life cannot be considered the same person as him. If that bothers you, don’t read!!!!!

The rebirth and transmigration are just part of the setup, with no golden finger. The overall style is no different from my previous school stories, so you can expect the same feel.

There should be a crossover with My Biological Father Insists I Call Him Big Brother.

[Outwardly cold but obedient young general, battle-hardened sentinel bottom x gentle, scheming rebel guide with MAX possessiveness]

Blurb:

Liang Zhihan is the youngest genius sentinel in the Empire, the adopted son of the country’s tyrannical ruler, and his most loyal and undefeated war machine.

After securing yet another victory for the country, Liang Zhihan did not receive a medal for his service. Instead, he received a marriage arrangement: he was to marry the guide selected by an algorithm as his most compatible match, He Shiqing, a young professor at the Empire’s Military Academy.

Liang Zhihan flatly refused, but someone lured him into a state of frenzy, and he ended up being taken in by Professor He by mistake.

After a single session of mental soothing, Liang Zhihan drew his sword and threatened the man, ordering him to forget what had happened and obediently go with him to break off the engagement.

But who could have guessed the man would be bare-chested, showing off a broad chest every bit as muscular as Liang Zhihan’s? His eyes glistened as he put on a wounded expression. “Major General Liang, you’re so heartless. Are you planning to sleep with me and then leave without taking responsibility?”

On the surface, He Shiqing is a professor at the Empire’s Military Academy and an outstanding guide among the young elite. In reality, he is the heir apparent to the Alliance’s rebel army and a dark guide, one in a thousand years, capable of controlling sentinels and turning them into his own blades.

To overthrow the tyrant, He Shiqing manipulated the algorithm to match himself with Liang Zhihan, the emperor’s adopted son. He decided to begin by destroying the Empire’s sharpest sword.

But when he saw Liang Zhihan out of his armor, his hair disheveled, his cheeks flushed, and his chest heaving beneath his torn-open shirt, so fragile and delicate that it made him want to hold him close and caress him, He Shiqing wanted only to keep that sword in his own hands.

When the rebel army broke into the imperial palace and dragged the tyrant to the execution platform, Liang Zhihan and He Shiqing stood facing each other, a blade between them.

“So the engagement, the prince consort, my destined guide: all of it was a lie, wasn’t it?”

A new ruler ascended the throne, and everything settled down. Medicines and injections could no longer suppress Liang Zhihan’s mental frenzy.

In a palace where the lamplight flickered, someone climbed in through a window and pulled the man who looked as if he had fallen into the water and was nearly drowning into his arms. He released his own mental energy and soothed him with loving care.

“He Shiqing...” In his muddled state, Liang Zhihan seemed to see his prince consort, who had defected and was now wanted.

“I’m here.” The man kissed his beloved’s forehead.

“I’m real.”
