Lu Qingchuan had never asked anyone for anything in his life.
So when the System appeared after he was hit and killed by a car, offering him a chance to be reborn if he completed the task of conquering the person he hated most...
You mean I have to conquer the person I just insulted and threw a glass of water at? He'd rather die and start over.
After being hit by the same car for the third time, Lu Qingchuan gave in. It hurt, and his life mattered more.
Once he maxed out the affection meter, he would strangle Feng Lin to death.
[Task One: Apologize and obtain forgiveness]
"Sorr(y), you stin(k), dog."
Across the long table, Feng Lin held a teacup. Water droplets still clung to his collar. Hearing that, he raised an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound sincere."
"...Then what do you want?"
"Write me an apology letter."
The next day, Feng Lin opened the letter. There was only one line inside:
"Feng Lin, I was wrong. I was wrong not to get myself hit and killed sooner."
After reading it, Feng Lin folded the paper unhurriedly and tucked it into the inner pocket of his suit. The corners of his mouth lifted almost imperceptibly.
"Rewrite it."
[System notification: Conquest target's heart-flutter rating +5]
Lu Qingchuan: ??? Is this guy crazy?
Later, he wrote the apology letter three times, made Feng Lin burnt chicken wings as the task required, and praised Feng Lin for three minutes at a party. Only then did his affection rating barely reach 30.
What Lu Qingchuan didn't know was that from the very first day, someone had followed him from across the street and witnessed him getting hit by a car, disappearing, then appearing out of thin air and cursing at the air for half an hour.
The task progress was slow because he just wanted Lu Qingchuan to stay by his side a little longer, and then a little longer still.
This book is also known as The Rival's Conquest Manual, I Didn't Really Want to Be Reborn, Finish the Task and I'll Let You Die, Conquering My Rival Is Worse Than Death, and Does My Rival Dying Count as Completing the Task?
Sharp-tongued, short-tempered bottom x seemingly decent, scheming top
*Reader's guide
1. A sweet, brainless story with no logic. Two brats bicker in their daily lives, fall in love while arguing, and clear up misunderstandings while arguing.
2. The bottom sees the top as his rival. The top knows the bottom sees him as a rival, and fell in love a long time ago. The heart-flutter rating is calculated from the start of the conquest, not the top's actual feelings.
3. Amateur writing, clichéd tropes, and the author indulging their own tastes.
Theme: Life and love coexist
