Blurb for this novel:

[A seemingly aloof, devoted top who'll bend for love x a sunny, cheerful bottom who's secretly cunning]

Qi An transmigrates into a cultivation-and-development novel as a cannon-fodder male supporting character, and is bound to a summoning System.

In the original story, he loses both his cultivation and his memories, accidentally falls to demonic cultivation, and is recruited by the villain. After failing to harm the protagonist, his body and soul are destroyed. Just before dying, he recovers his memories and learns that he was once the protagonist's junior fellow disciple and had secretly loved him for years. But the protagonist has long since grown to hate him and has become a great pioneer of civilization on his own.

Now, everything is back to the beginning.

Facing a wasteland as his starting point, Qi An challenges the System: "What good are you?"

Everyone else: The new kid from the village says he can build houses. What a joke.

Qi An summons Taotie and builds a food city filled with delicious aromas.

Qi An summons merfolk, starts a cloth shop, then expands into a chain of clothing stores.

Qi An summons Zouyu and establishes carriage services in cities across the land.

The primitive village he started with gradually becomes a self-sufficient city-state, then develops into a nation that forms ties with the outside world.

Qi An's life building up civilization is deeply fulfilling.

Everyone else: That idiot actually became the city lord?

*

Everyone knows Qi An and Ye Nanzhou are sworn enemies. For example:

They are both secretly in love with the sect's eldest senior brother.

They are in the same cohort, with comparable cultivation levels, and are constantly compared.

One is cold and the other warm. Their personalities clash.

What no one knows is:

Ye Nanzhou is cornered by Qi An at the end of an alley, who wraps an arm around his waist and asks, "Would you marry me?"

Beneath their rivalry lies a charged, flirtatious tension.

*

On their wedding night, Qi An lifts Ye Nanzhou's red bridal veil and sees him turn his face away, looking a little shy.

"What, are you being a good boy for once today? Not biting?"

"Who are you calling a dog?!" Ye Nanzhou lunges at him.

Just as Qi An planned.

Reborn to Hear My First Love's Countdown

Fang Heng thought he had died that night.

A group of men in black slaughtered his entire family. A sharp blade plunged mercilessly into his abdomen, and after a piercing agony, everything went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he was lying among a field of gloomy white bones.

By chance, he gained the ability to hear people's thoughts.

When he returned to the family estate, it had already been taken over by strangers.

He disguised himself under an assumed name and infiltrated the estate as a servant.

Since he'd been given a second life, he swore to uncover the truth behind his family's massacre and make the killers pay in blood.

*

Early spring. A faint chill still lingers in the breeze.

Fang Heng and Shen Huaixiao meet again.

His old friend has returned from the dead, but Shen Huaixiao only leaves a string of mysterious numbers in his mind:

3685.

From then on, each time they meet, Shen Huaixiao silently counts down, the number decreasing every time.

Until one day, Fang Heng learns the truth: he returned from the Yellow Springs because Shen Huaixiao begged someone to give him thirty-five years of life.

And Shen Huaixiao himself has only ten years left.

*

On the surface, they belong to opposing factions and can't help but clash.

But in private, Shen Huaixiao secretly looks out for him, finding all sorts of excuses to meet.

In the warm glow of flickering candlelight, Shen Huaixiao gently strokes Fang Heng's waist. His face is tight with anger, yet his words carry complicated emotions.

"I hope you get your revenge soon. After that, we'll each go our separate ways."

Fang Heng curls his lips and leans close to Shen Huaixiao's ear. "A gentleman can wait ten years to avenge a wrong."

"But you have to die for something worthwhile."

At least, not for me.

Fang Heng doesn't say the rest aloud, but he's already resolved to find a way to extend Shen Huaixiao's life.

Theme: Stay true to yourself and keep your feet on the ground.
