The Universally Hated One Returns to Childhood

The main story is complete! Consider the 5 yuan a donation to the pigeon, coo coo coo~

[Receiver is insecure at first and cocky later x a sweet on the outside, scheming on the inside, double-standard top]

The proper alternate title is An Zhu, and the silly one is The Hated Real Young Master and the Villain Got Their Happy Ending (please add it to your reading list!)

Official blurb:

[Childhood Arc]

The ugly Jiang Zhu sees a novel when he's eighteen.

The novel is about a hated cannon-fodder character with the same name and surname as him. He provokes the protagonist receiver like a clown, then gets people sent by the protagonist top to beat him to death in an alley.

Jiang Zhu: ...Am I part of your game too?

On his way home, unlucky Jiang Zhu gets the truck that's essential for transmigration.

After dying in a car accident, Jiang Zhu opens his eyes again and discovers that he's turned into a tiny baby with short arms and legs. His face, which was burned in a fire, is still intact. He's become an adorable little baby!

Did I transmigrate into a book?

Jiang Zhu looks up in confusion and sees an absurdly luxurious mansion and all kinds of exquisite toys.

Jiang Zhu: ...I'm a little jealous of the rich, okay?

But wait, wasn't he supposed to be universally hated? Why is everyone fighting to play with him?

"Zhu Zhu, I'm your favorite, right?" the little villain asks, holding Jiang Zhu's hand.

The next second, his older brother pushes him aside, hugs Jiang Zhu, and wails, "He's my little brother! All of you, go away!"

The original protagonist receiver also circles around him every day.

Jiang Zhu: Did I get the beloved-by-all script?

[Adult Arc]

Jiang Zhu is eighteen, and he realizes he's getting more and more improper thoughts about his childhood friend, Qi Yun'an.

Hearing Qi Yun'an's voice makes him happy for hours. Seeing him makes him happy all day. When they're a little closer, his heart starts racing.

This is bad, this is bad. How can I be so hungry for his body?

Jiang Zhu confesses his crime to his parents: he thinks he's really fallen for Qi Yun'an.

Little does he know that Qi Yun'an, supposedly so sweet and innocent, is secretly watching his every move.

Zhu Zhu likes me? Likes me? Likes me?

Qi Yun'an listens to Jiang Zhu saying he likes him over and over,

A sick smile spreading across his lips.

Of course he likes me. Zhu Zhu can only like me. Zhu Zhu is definitely going to like me!

His fingers glide over a high-resolution picture of Jiang Zhu sleeping with his eyes closed,

And Qi Yun'an reverently lowers his head to place a kiss on it.

Reader's Guide:

1. The first 60 chapters are about the characters as children. The romance begins when they are adults.

2. A warning for those who only read the blurb: The early child-rearing chapters aren't mindless indulgence. There are scenes about raising and educating a child. The story mainly follows young Jiang Zhu's growth. His personality changes from timid and insecure back into that of a confident little rascal.

3. Neither the top nor the receiver is super strong. Both cry a lot as children, but they're a little smarter than their peers. The top's personality has flaws, and he's good at pretending. When he grows up, he'll spy on the receiver, but he will grow and learn to let go later!

4. This is the author's first book, QWQ.

5. Lots of rambling author's notes ahead! If you feel uncomfortable while reading, run away, please. I can't stop myself from writing! Don't scold me, QWQ.

(Blurb)

Wang Luo is a crybaby.

Ever since the kidnapping when he was a child, he has started binge eating and, spoiled excessively by his parents, grown into a gloomy, chubby boy whom everyone finds annoying.

"Fat and always crying. So disgusting."

The school bullying goes on day after day, and all he can do is curl up in a corner and let them pick on him.

Until one day, a figure as bright as light enters his world.

The person has beautiful black hair, the ends resting just behind the ears, and an angelic face that blurs the line between genders.

"Hey, can you stand up?"

The voice is clear and bright. Wang Luo's tears instantly burst forth. He knows he looks ugly when he cries, but he can't stop.

The other person tosses him a handkerchief. "Remember to see a doctor."

From then on, Wang Luo becomes Jiang Yucheng's little shadow.

From third grade to sixth grade, those thousand-plus days and nights are the only time in his life that shines.

But on the first day of middle school, Jiang Yucheng disappears.

He comes like a breeze, light and easy, then leaves just as lightly.

Wang Luo doesn't remember how long he cried. They have no way to contact each other, and all he has is the memory of stubbornly following Jiang Yucheng for those three years.

Six years pass. Wang Luo grows taller and sheds his childishness and excess weight, becoming a teenager with sharp, cool features.

No one knows that he still hugs his tear-soaked pillow in the dead of night, turning over that hazy memory again and again until his heart aches.

College life is still dull. Wang Luo walks through the crowd with an expressionless face, until...

A white figure suddenly enters his field of vision.

His heart roars before his mind can react. He pushes through the crowd and chases after the figure.

The person turns around. The black hair is the same, the gray eyes cool and clear.

Plop. His tears fall uncontrollably.

"Crying again?" Jiang Yucheng chuckles, lifting a finger. "Be good, little bunny."

Theme: Growing up and healing from pain.
