1.

Jian Yuheng dislikes his older brother's secretary, Song Ruochen.

This aloof beauty is cool, clever, and never makes a mistake, like a perfect, exquisitely made robot.

But one day, Jian Yuheng discovers that Song Ruochen can rewind time.

At a dinner, his older brother reaches for a dish, and Song Ruochen spins the lazy Susan. Everyone's eyes turn to them, and Song Ruochen gives a little shudder.

The next second, Jian Yuheng realizes that the chicken wing he just finished eating needs to be eaten all over again.

Everything has gone back to thirty seconds earlier. Song Ruochen picks up the serving chopsticks with elegant composure and places the perfect dish on his boss's plate.

Everyone exclaims that Assistant Song is simply perfect.

Jian Yuheng: ?

At the company annual gala, Song Ruochen is just about to sit down when he trips.

Jian Yuheng starts laughing, but the next second, time rewinds. He's just finished his speech and has to give it all over again.

Secretary Song steps around the obstacle and sits down gracefully.

Jian Yuheng: ...

So all that calm, clever perfection is the result of fixing things after rewinding time. The real Song Ruochen often botches everything and flails in a panic.

Only Jian Yuheng can see it.

2.

Jian Yuheng thinks Song Ruochen is adorable. The more he sees him, the more he likes him.

That is, until one day they go out together and Jian Yuheng enters his rut.

He has just injected himself with a suppressant when time rewinds.

He injects himself again, and time rewinds again.

After three pointless injections, Jian Yuheng can't take it anymore. Bristling with anger, he storms into Song Ruochen's room, grabs him, and gives him a fierce scolding.

"What is it you can't handle this time?!"

Song Ruochen looks guilty. "I... really liked the cake you gave me, so I wanted to eat it two more times."

Jian Yuheng: ...

After staying up all night reading an angsty crematorium novel in which the top and bottom don't communicate for over 500 chapters, Song Ruochen transmigrates into a book.

He becomes the protagonist top's secretary and is bound to a rewind System.

In the office, the book's tight-lipped protagonist top is on the phone with the protagonist bottom. "If that's what you want to think, I can't do anything about it."

The protagonist bottom angrily hangs up.

The next second, Song Ruochen slaps the protagonist top hard across the face, and time rewinds.

Time goes back ten seconds.

The protagonist top's eyes are bloodshot, but his voice is cool. "If you..."

Song Ruochen smacks the protagonist top in the mouth with a folder. "Say it again, properly."

Protagonist top: ...

At a bar, the protagonist top gets hugged by his drunk, scheming friend.

The protagonist bottom's eyes are red with tears. "I knew you always loved him."

Protagonist top: "Do you really love me? You don't even trust me this much."

Smack! Time goes back five seconds, and Secretary Song kicks the scheming guy who was leaning in toward the protagonist top.

With his help, the angsty novel becomes a sweet romance. Misunderstandings are cleared up, and the protagonist couple's life gets happier and happier.

But...

Why does Jian Yuheng, the protagonist top's younger brother, keep staring at him?!

Bonus scene

After they get together, one day Song Ruochen rubs his lower back and runs away from Jian Yuheng. "Stay away from me. I'm exhausted."

Jian Yuheng says expressionlessly, "You can rewind time, and we can start over."

Song Ruochen: ...?

What a devil.

The next book will be "The Villain Really Wants to Turn Evil," a sweet, satisfying comedy.

Jiang Youling transmigrates into a book as the pampered youngest disciple of his sect. The System tells him he has a golden finger. He tries it, but nothing happens.

Qi Xian is reborn. His previous life was pretty miserable, and he's planning to turn evil and become the villain this time. The System tells him he has a golden finger. He tries it, but nothing happens.

Jiang Youling doesn't give up. He works hard to exchange for skills and often presses random buttons on the System panel.

One day, he trips and frantically presses the healing skill. Nothing happens.

Qi Xian is in the middle of making a blood pact with the Ghost Clan. He cuts his wrist, and it heals. He cuts it again, and it heals again.

In the end, not a single drop of blood comes out, so they call him insincere and the alliance falls through.

Qi Xian: ...?

A group of people go out to train and encounter a powerful demon beast. Everyone crouches low and holds their breath.

Jiang Youling exchanges for a flying technique, hoping to escape.

Not far away, Qi Xian, a villain-in-training who was sneaking around to save his own skin and reap the benefits later, suddenly shoots into the air and becomes a living target for the demon beast.

Qi Xian: ...?

At a meeting of the Immortal Alliance, Jiang Youling is fed up and exchanges for a teleportation skill to escape.

At that moment, Qi Xian is being invaded by inner demons. He descends from the sky, about to turn evil and give everyone a show of force, when he suddenly gets teleported... home?

Jiang Youling and Qi Xian both turn around and file complaints against the System.
