I Woke Up as My Archrival's Wife

On his eighteenth birthday, Lu Wangxiao came down with a high fever on campus. By the time someone carried him to the school clinic, he had passed out. When he opened his eyes again, he had landed ten years in the future. His whole body ached. He looked up in a daze and found his sworn enemy, Shao Xichao, holding him close. Ambiguous finger marks still lingered around his waist. Shao Xichao’s usually unreadable, icy face was pressed against the back of his neck as he coaxed him in a low voice. “Sweetheart, you weren’t this cold when you begged me to hold you last night.” Lu Wangxiao let out a horrified scream. Who are you calling sweetheart?! He threw a punch on reflex. - It took Lu Wangxiao quite a while to come to terms with the shock of waking up ten years in the future and finding that he and his sworn enemy had become a couple. Even though everything about Shao Xichao annoyed him and he didn’t know his way around this strange future, what was done was done. At twenty-eight, Shao Xichao had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and striking features. His whole bearing radiated the restraint and elegance of a mature man. And at twenty-eight, Lu Wangxiao didn’t even have to work. He never lifted a finger around the house, had a secondary card with no spending limit, and Shao Xichao granted his every wish, giving him the moon if he asked for it and the stars if he didn’t. Lu Wangxiao took a deep breath. The twenty-eight-year-old Shao Xichao was different from his eighteen-year-old self, both in looks and in the way he treated Lu Wangxiao. Besides, his current life was practically a dream. After a bit of agonizing, Lu Wangxiao decided to lie flat and enjoy it. - Lu Wangxiao happily spent every day living like royalty, with everything brought to him and every meal served. Until one day, he insisted on seeing the aurora, only to come down with a fever because of his delicate constitution and pass out. When he opened his eyes again, the smell of alcohol filled his nostrils. Lu Wangxiao’s head was spinning. He turned and saw Shao Xichao watching over him, then instinctively put an arm around him. In a hoarse, aggrieved voice, he said, “Hubby, you know how much I love you. I got sick just to see the aurora with you, so you have to make it up to me this time. I want to go play on an island in the Bahamas…” Eighteen-year-old Shao Xichao had carried Lu Wangxiao to the school clinic and was already exhausted when he heard the boy in front of him babbling wildly and acting spoiled. Shao Xichao looked at him coldly. “Did the fever make you go crazy?” Lu Wangxiao: …???? Reading guide: 1. Each other’s first love.
