Blurb:
Q: What's it like to sleep with the teammate you've had a crush on for eight years?
Chu Zhaonian is a top-tier star idol with both looks and talent. His refined aura and haughty personality quickly made him famous, earning him countless fans.
His solo fans call him: "The elegant, noble little prince."
His antis insult him: "He doesn't have a prince's luck, but he's got the prince's disease."
Yet this little prince, whose ambition reaches the heavens, hides a humble, unspeakable secret: he has loved one of his teammates for eight whole years.
Xiang Yanshu is like an endlessly energetic puppy, always ready to go, who spends all his boundless energy teasing Chu Zhaonian, forcing his way into his life and eventually invading his heart.
He loves him, but he doesn't say so, and he doesn't intend to.
Without that drunken night when they took off their clothes and bared themselves to each other, perhaps their love would never have grown so wildly.
But the one who falls in love first is always naive. Chu Zhaonian thought that sleeping together would change their relationship.
He never expected Xiang Yanshu to tell him, "I'm sorry. I drank too much. Let's pretend it never happened."
This irresponsible scumbag really could forget it just like that. He even carried on acting as if nothing had happened in front of the cameras, holding and hugging Chu Zhaonian, just as clingy and annoying as ever.
So often, even Chu Zhaonian wondered if that night had been nothing more than a fleeting dream.
But every now and then, he still held on to the tiniest bit of hope, guessing that Xiang Yanshu did care about him, but had some reservations.
Until one day, the scumbag was suddenly exposed for being in a relationship. Chu Zhaonian's wavering faith finally crumbled, and his first love came to an end before it could begin.
The favored child of heaven had suffered heartbreak for the first time, and his mind was in a daze. Then, in an accident, Chu Zhaonian missed a step and fell from a lift platform nine meters high...
As he was dying, Chu Zhaonian thought: That damn heartless scumbag, who can just pull out and forget all about it! If I get another chance, I'll never fall in love with you!
Heaven had eyes, and Chu Zhaonian miraculously came back to life.
He opened his eyes, climbed out of bed, and stared coldly at the sleeping scumbag beside him, thinking that this time, he had to strike first, no matter what.
But when the scumbag woke up, before Chu Zhaonian could even threaten him, the other man suddenly smiled brightly at him. "Good morning, wifey."
Huh?? Can someone tell me if this silly puppy has been possessed?
Xiang Yanshu once lost the person he loved most. He could never forget that pain in this lifetime, a pain so piercing he couldn't breathe. Fortunately, heaven gave him another chance, letting him be reborn before the accident...
Forget it. In this life, no matter what, he has to keep Chu Zhaonian firmly by his side.
It's just that Xiang Yanshu never expected everything to go so smoothly. From proposing a fake marriage and signing an agreement to holding the wedding, every step went exactly as he had planned.
But just when he was about to take things further and win over Chu Zhaonian's heart, his darling wife suddenly asked for a divorce!
Good heavens, what is a weak, helpless big dog supposed to do? All he can do is act pitiful and innocent to win sympathy, begging his darling wife to love him again!
Tsundere bottom x scheming (just a little) big-dog top
P.S. 1. The top is not a scumbag! The top is not a scumbag! The top is not a scumbag! (Important things are said three times.)
2. This isn't a traditional rebirth novel. It follows a misunderstanding-cleared-up, reconciliation-and-romance route, not a face-slapping scumbag-punishing story. (I'll say it again: the top isn't scummy!)
3. Mutual pining, lots of sweetness, happy ending, in a setting where same-sex marriage is legal.
4. No real-life inspirations. Please don't make real-person comparisons.
5. Anti-piracy protection is now in place, with a 50% ratio. Those who finished the main story earlier may have to wait until the following day to read the new extras. Please understand!!! Sending hearts~
Upcoming novel blurb
Tang Chufeng is the protagonist of a famous post-apocalyptic novel on a certain web-fiction site.
Having just completed the plot of The Apocalypse: The Strong Return, he was about to enjoy the peak of his life when the fictional world suddenly collapsed.
When he opened his eyes again, he had become the substitute darling wife in an old-school CEO romance aimed at female readers, and was bound to a conquest System.
"Conquering someone? Piece of cake!"
But after he got the situation straight, he couldn't smile anymore.
"You want me to win over a man?"
The hardcore straight guy cracked on the spot. "I'd rather stay single. Absolutely no gay stuff!"
System: [No gay stuff, and you'll get electrocuted.]
The Apocalypse Reward System had been completely transformed into a Proximity System. Go more than one hundred meters away from the target, and it would electrocute you.
To stay alive, Tang Chufeng, who only wanted to lie flat, found another way and chose to break the deadlock with brute force!
So he couldn't get more than a hundred meters away?
He whipped out a teleportation card and made the CEO follow him with one click, turning him into an instant nanny.
The CEO looked at his legs walking on their own. "This is freaky. My legs have a mind of their own."
So he liked his moonlight?
Tang Chufeng put on the moonlight's face and pulled a switcheroo, making the CEO look at him more if he loved him.
The CEO stared at the moonlight, whose personality had completely changed. "Strange. Have you been cursed today?"
After all that, the favorability score went down instead of up.
The System panicked. [Do you even know how to win someone over?]
Tang Chufeng: "It's not my fault. The CEO is just a damn idiot!"
By day, he worked like a drudge, accompanying the CEO as they dominated the business world.
The CEO sneered coldly. "Men, don't fall in love with me. It won't end well."
At night, he played the prostitute, letting the CEO have his way with him.
The CEO turned cold as soon as he got out of bed. "Men, you may have my body, but you'll never have my heart."
Tang Chufeng quit. He closed his eyes and pretended to have amnesia. "Who are u?"
But the CEO suddenly fell for him. "Men, I've fallen in love with you."
???
Tang Chufeng: "Buddy, what exactly are you in love with?"
The CEO replied with deep affection: "I love the way you refuse to kneel."
A top with all the ailments of an old-school CEO but no way to act on them, left frustrated x a late-stage hopeless straight guy with a broken thought process who only wants to give up and is forced to go gay
P.S. 1. Warning! Lighthearted, brainless, and badly written!!!
2. The main characters are both a little crazy.
3. Happy ending, happy ending, happy ending. Everything serves the fun. The story may differ slightly from the blurb, so read at your own risk if that bothers you.
4. The original blurb was posted on 2025.10.07, and the revised blurb was posted on 2026.6.22. Screenshots of both have been saved.
Theme: On the road to chasing your dreams, never give up.
I don't understand, it's very baffling. It's baffling to write a group review, and it's also baffling for these two people to get along with each other. After being reincarnated, he still treated the scumbag in a friendly manner. He even got scolded several times for some inexplicable reason and just gave in. On the contrary, he became an innocent victim. The scumbag who refused to recognize her even when he slept with her never confessed his feelings in this life. Instead, he chose to be deceived and accepted into a fake marriage, which made him a rotten person. Lord, you are so capable.
What is the difference between those people who stand together and talk about attacking scumbags when they see them standing together, and those entertainment reporters who are just chasing rumors? They insist on writing about scumbags.
Creamy tsundere baby, let me eat it
Love brain, no long mouth, easy to forgive, tsk tsk tsk, you deserve it. But why did Xiang treat it as if it never happened?
What kind of "world-moving" love, oh no, unrequited love, can cross the distance between life and death, just for the sake of temporary hunger, and let go of the past? You've already died once, and you're so hungry for that skewer of barbecue? Haven't eaten anything good?
It sounds really good. The eternal god of Chinese style, Hua Liu is the coolest.
Teacher, sometimes new chapters are new plots that are not coherent, and my consciousness can't keep up.
It's so sweet. The young couple wants to be happy forever.
These Wei fans remind me of the saying "You scold me, I scold you, our brothers sleep together" (bixin~)
Like it very much!!! I really like the lyrics and the stage!!!
