The Foxy Seductress Has Fallen Flat [Ancient to Modern]

In his previous life, Xu Lin lived freely and carelessly. A senior monk once said he was the reincarnation of a Deceitful Beast, the kind destined to die a horrible death.

Deceitful Beasts are beautiful, graceful, and eloquent, but never tell the truth.

After Xu Lin died miserably, he transmigrated into the modern world, dusted off his clothes, and was ready to take on life again.

Unfortunately, his new body was a hopeless case and had mountains of gambling debts. After taking stock of the situation, Xu Lin decided to sweet-talk the band's rich young heir.

Sweet words, playing nice, smiling apologetically.

But Zhu Chengfeng wasn't having it. He scowled. "Get lost."

Xu Lin had already figured out that he was a grouchy idiot. He cupped the other man's flushed face in both hands and gave him a sultry look. "You really want me to get lost?"

"..." Zhu Chengfeng swallowed with difficulty. After a long pause, he pried Xu Lin's fingers away, gritted his back teeth, and said, "Are you crazy?"

After playing "Zhu Chengfeng's little sidekick" for half a year, Xu Lin stumbled upon the secret hidden deep in his bedroom: an old cardboard box, and sketches scattered all over the floor, every one depicting Xu Lin's appearance in his previous life.

Xu Lin finally realized something was very wrong.

He'd already died once, and somehow he still had an old romantic debt from his previous life to deal with.

Xu Lin wasn't really into men. All that syrupy behavior could be summed up in modern terms: just a straight guy's little tricks.

Zhu Chengfeng clearly didn't see it that way.

The situation turned completely around, and now Zhu Chengfeng was the one following Xu Lin everywhere.

The haughty rich heir lowered his head.

"Just having you here is enough for me. You can hit me or yell at me, just don't leave me."

Xu Lin smiled and tipped his chin up. "Are you crying? Really crying?"

When he made Zhu Chengfeng look up, Xu Lin saw his tearful, stubborn eyes, and suddenly felt a pang of guilt. His smile faded.

"But I really don't like you."

Zhu Chengfeng cried silently.

"All right, all right. Let's try kissing." Xu Lin sighed. "I must have owed you in my last life..."

A stubborn but soft-hearted puppy of a top, Zhu Chengfeng x a warm-on-the-outside, cold-on-the-inside fox of a bottom, Xu Lin
