In his previous life, Lu Min hunted Ying Yulian for ten whole years.

The young godfather was always delighted to send him all kinds of cards, detailing the tricks behind his crimes to taunt his nemesis, who was forever one step behind.

In the end, Lu Min made a desperate final stand and died along with Ying Yulian.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to fifteen years earlier.

Lu Min immediately grabbed a weapon and went looking for Ying Yulian. This time, he would snuff out that flower of evil with his own hands.

But the person before him was a frail boy locked in a dog cage, barely clothed and trying to "please" him.

Lu Min picked up and lowered his knife several times. At last, he rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a melted lollipop.

"Hey, kid. Come with me."

In this life, Lu Min found Ying Yulian before poverty, hunger, and crime could claim him.

Faced with the choice between killing this rotten seed and spending the rest of his life behind bars, or raising Ying Yulian himself, Lu Min chose the latter.

For decades afterward, Lu Min was very glad he had made that choice.

Ying Yulian was a very well-behaved kid, and easy to raise.

Lu Min taught him to read and write, sent him to school, and gave him a home.

The boy was so gentle and obedient, with clear eyes, and he softly called him "big brother."

Sometimes, Lu Min would find himself wondering if he had really changed their fate.

Until the night he was forced to go on a blind date. After finally getting rid of his date, Lu Min brought home a cake to celebrate Ying Yulian's birthday.

The moment he stepped through the door, a sweet scent filled the air. When he woke again, iron chains had him tightly bound, leaving him unable to move.

The boy he had raised bent down and gently kissed the corner of his eye, twitching with rage. Then he gave him a warm, polite smile.

"I can act however you want me to, big brother. But in exchange, you'll have to stay with me forever."

Ying Yulian was a black lotus, black through and through, and in both lives he intended to take root in Lu Min alone.

Days of Recovering Sanity at an American School

Zhou Zhou was tricked into studying abroad at an American school by his slick-talking cousin.

After witnessing his classmates turn into giant robots an unknown number of times, Zhou Zhou's sanity was hanging by a thread. On all the days he didn't have class, he stayed home playing video games.

He made a particularly good friend in a game.

Although the other guy was white, he never whined for no reason or discriminated against Zhou Zhou for being Asian. He also shared all sorts of interesting things with him and taught him how to raise pets to recover sanity.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhou was allergic to cat hair, so he couldn't have a cat.

Gradually, he fell for his online friend. At the same time, he discovered that his friend was actually Liat, the famous "school bully" at the American school: a cocky, blue-eyed, blond hottie with a great ass, who had his own clique and had even snubbed a fraternity's invitation.

By comparison, Zhou Zhou was just an unremarkable nerd.

He felt a little insecure.

But his kind and patient friend kept encouraging him to confess.

Maybe Liat was actually just as gentle as he was in the game?

After school, Zhou Zhou worked up his courage, clutching a limited-edition gift and a bouquet of flowers as he stopped Liat.

"L-Liat! I like you. Will you be my boyfriend?"

His voice trembled, and his face turned bright red.

Liat furrowed his brows. His blue eyes were full of impatience as his gaze swept over Zhou Zhou and the gift as if they were garbage.

Before Zhou Zhou could finish, Liat raised a hand and knocked the gift box away.

Liat sneered, his contemptuous gaze sweeping over him.

"Someone who uses knockoffs thinks he's good enough to be my boyfriend?"

After his confession was rejected, Zhou Zhou went to a bar to drown his sorrows for the first time. It wasn't until the middle of the night that he set off for his apartment, dejectedly holding an umbrella.

As he passed a pet shop, he saw kittens playing in the window. But he was allergic to cat hair, so he could only give up on the idea.

His gaze drifted by chance toward the alley across the street. He stopped in his tracks.

Liat's wet blond hair clung to his pale forehead. He was curled up next to a dumpster, all his daytime glamour gone.

Raindrops beat down on him, making him look especially miserable. His expression was fierce yet vulnerable, like a stray cat backed into a corner. When he noticed Zhou Zhou watching, he bared his teeth in a silent warning.

Zhou Zhou looked down at the broken "knockoff" gift in his hand, then up at Liat, who seemed to be in trouble across the street.

Drunk, Zhou Zhou strode over and viciously threw the expensive, broken gift at Liat.

"Perfect."

He gripped Liat's chin and forced him to look up.

"I'm allergic to cat hair, so I can't have a real cat. A 'knockoff' will do just fine."
