I Can't Believe I Flirted With My Archrival

Feng Cijiu is a half-blood phoenix who has always enjoyed a carefree life in the Celestial Realm, but he takes a hard fall when it comes to Qi Ruchen.

He considers Qi Ruchen his confidant, only to learn that the other man doesn't take their nearly thousand-year friendship seriously at all. He turns on Feng Cijiu just like that.

Feng Cijiu can't let it go, so from then on, he finds ways to make trouble for Qi Ruchen every now and then.

Until he accidentally kicks the other man down into the mortal world... By the way, the other man is the Divine Emperor of the Celestial Realm.

Looking at the Heavenly Dao, twisted with rage, Feng Cijiu falls silent.

He's forced to come to the human world to set things right, only to discover that Qi Ruchen has been reborn as a young man.

What's it like when your sworn enemy has lost all his memories?

Feng Cijiu says it's delightful.

The young man lets him ruffle his hair, pinch his cheeks, and freeload off him, without putting up the slightest resistance. He even thoughtfully asks if Feng Cijiu is all right.

Feng Cijiu: Excellent!

One day, Feng Cijiu suddenly sees the young man locked out of his own home. Cold rain soaks his clothes, and muffled curses drift from behind the door. The young man just stands there quietly, like a puppy that's been abandoned.

Feng Cijiu silently rolls up his sleeves.

He never bullied Qi Ruchen this badly, so how dare these people!

But after he softens and helps the young man once, Qi Ruchen latches onto him for good. With a cold expression, he does all the things a sweet little bean should do. Once Feng Cijiu gets used to it... he even starts enjoying it.

From there, things get increasingly bizarre. Qi Ruchen is actually secretly in love with him!? And he's officially pursuing him!?

Feng Cijiu's first reaction is disbelief, but it turns out Qi Ruchen is serious.

He agrees with a flippant attitude, thinking that once they return to the Celestial Realm, they will surely go their separate ways.

That is, until Qi Ruchen accidentally discovers that Feng Cijiu came to the human world to look for someone.

The other man holds him, looking so fragile he might shatter. "So I'm just a substitute?"

Feng Cijiu: "?"

In the end,

Qi Ruchen, with his memories restored, grips Feng Cijiu by the wrist and forcefully pins him beneath himself. "You're always like this. Am I really not important to you at all?"

Feng Cijiu slowly types out a question mark. What does he mean? Does he want to fight?

It's just that the setting is a little off. He has fought Qi Ruchen before, but never like this, in bed!

*There are supernatural elements, but nothing scary. The author is a scaredy-cat too.

*Happy ending, both are devoted to each other, and they dote on each other.

*The recipient remembers their promise. The full story will explain what happened.

*The recipient likes bullying the top, but the top isn't a good person either. He's just pretending! He lets himself be bullied because it takes two to tango.

*The schemes and machinations are a work in progress. If some parts don't turn out as well as hoped, it's not on purpose; I've hit my intellectual ceiling. I'll fix any plot holes I find in a timely manner.
