No Falling in Love with Your Nemesis in the Apocalypse

[A powerful ability-user who says one thing and means another, and a cool, self-destructive genius scientist]

Si Le is the ultimate villainous scientist in a post-apocalyptic disaster novel. His top-tier looks and ruthlessness have earned him immense popularity.

While committing countless evil deeds, he has also greatly slowed humanity's extinction.

However, after the world restarted, some transmigrated into books and others were reborn. He alone got a "redemption" in the form of "being thrown in prison."

Being the ultimate villain is exhausting. Si Le lies down on his bed and quietly waits to die.

But an annoying S-rank ability-user insists on becoming his supervisor. Using research as bait, they strike a deal and begin a life of clashing head-on and hurting each other.

The ability-user makes dishes he hates, so he steals the other man's food. They go back and forth until the dinner table becomes a battlefield, and don't stop until the food goes cold.

The ability-user buys childish toiletries to mock him for being immature, so he calls him "old uncle" to make fun of his age. They both end up with broken hearts and part on bad terms.

The ability-user makes his life difficult, so he sabotages the other's test in return, doubling his dose of suppressants...

After hurting each other, neither of them comes out ahead.

Then one morning, Si Le dreams that he slept with someone. He wakes up relieved, only to see someone lying on his disheveled bed, and silently shuts down.

Can he kick the person off the bed now, pretend nothing happened, and still get away with it?

After all, just yesterday he was so angry that this guy had thrown out his plant pet that he poured boiling water on the potted plant the other man had carefully raised for ages.

#Their drawn-out courtship never ends, with constant testing and maneuvering as they struggle with their feelings

[Protective, assertive German Shepherd type and cool, catlike, beautiful and tragic genius]

Si Le is a genius boy whose parents are both dead. He is quiet and aloof, and trouble never stops finding him.

His current goal is to get through high school without incident and get into college. But the people around him suddenly start acting strangely.

A chilling murderous intent lurks in the shadows, repeatedly trying to kill him.

Methods include, but are not limited to, having people follow and ambush him, inciting his classmates to ostracize him, and luring criminals to his door.

By a twist of fate, he finally figures it out:

He is the ultimate villainous scientist in a suspense-horror novel.

He doesn't appear until the second half of the book, but his top-tier looks and intelligence, along with his cold-blooded nature, earn him a huge following and even drive the perfectly in-sync male and female leads to break up.

Si Le hesitates. "The villain... is me?"

Even worse,

Everyone has been reborn except him.

Faced with reborn people harboring malice, Si Le calls the police without hesitation. One by one, he sends them all to sing songs of prison life.

Every now and then, when someone is too annoying, darkness stirs in his heart. But when he reaches into his pocket, the place where he usually keeps a sharp object is somehow full of candy. His neighbor across the hall, who is also his nemesis in the book, did it!

Si Le thinks that a nemesis really is the most annoying creature in the world!

Especially a nemesis with memories of two lifetimes who knows exactly what he likes.

Xiang Xun had smooth sailing for the first half of his life, until he ran into Si Le, his nemesis in his previous life:

A genius scientist as clever as a demon, sharp as a blade, repeatedly committing crimes and throwing the whole world into turmoil.

His greatest regret in life was giving up the chance to die together with his nemesis.

Given another chance, he decides to make up for that regret.

But why is his wicked, ruthless nemesis now a poor guy beset by one problem after another?

With his strong sense of morality and principles, he has no choice but to abandon his plan and try to raise his young nemesis into a law-abiding citizen.

And so,

When his nemesis gets dragged to the police station, he goes to bail him out in the middle of the night;

When his nemesis shows the first signs of turning evil, he takes the opportunity to feed him candy;

When his nemesis is too lazy to leave the house, he drags him out to watch a revolutionary movie...

Xiang Xun gets better and better at raising a kid, and thinks that their pure hatred has gained a touch of the affection that comes from spending every day together.

Then that night, he dreams that his adult nemesis takes the initiative and kisses him.

Their breaths mingle, and the air fills with the scent of intimate red wine...

He wakes up in a panic.

C-could the feelings between nemeses turn into something else?
