- A naturally flirtatious, alluring young master who doesn't realize he's seducing people x a clearheaded, lovesick academic overachiever who falls hard -

Chi Hui, the pampered young master of A University, is generous with money. Despite his beautiful looks, he prefers an easygoing life and slacking off.

By chance, he becomes roommates with Qin Feng, A University's famous academic overachiever.

Qin Feng is university-heartthrob material, energetic and highly driven, with countless awards to his name. He and Chi Hui seem to belong to different worlds.

When a friend hears about it, he laughs and says, "He definitely won't be able to stand how lazy you are, unless he's got a crush on you."

Just then, Qin Feng returns to their dorm with a clay pot meal from the North Dining Hall and milk tea from the South Dining Hall. He unpacks everything and sets it out. "Chi Hui, come eat lunch."

Friend: 😏 You two are acting suspicious.

*

A competition. Chi Hui's group has ground to a halt.

Group leader: "I heard Qin Feng from Class 1 is really good. Why don't you ask him to join us?"

Chi Hui shakes his head, saying there's nothing he can do.

But three days later, Qin Feng finally can't hold back. He pulls Chi Hui into an empty corner of the library and asks quietly, "Chi Hui, when exactly are you going to invite me to join your team?"

*

The growing closeness between Chi Hui and Qin Feng leads many people to speculate. Most scoff at the idea, convinced it's just a rumor.

The next day, a photo sets the forum ablaze: Qin Feng is carrying the injured Chi Hui in his arms. The young master, rumored to keep everyone at arm's length, is leaning meekly against him, his ears red.

After they start dating, Chi Hui and Qin Feng win many major awards and coauthor papers as first authors. At a celebration banquet, the two slip away to an empty corner...

Qin Feng lifts the hem of Chi Hui's shirt. "Why do I feel like all of this was a trap?"

Chi Hui smiles, then presses a kiss to Qin Feng's collar, his smile captivating. "The most skillful hunters often appear as prey."

[Bonus Scene]

Late at night, beneath the bright moon.

Qin Feng's fingertips trace Chi Hui's fair skin.

Chi Hui: "I think we should find the easiest way to do this."

Qin Feng nods with a wicked grin. "The only way to know for sure is to try every way."

Chi Hui: orz

Mutual firsts / Happy ending / Lots of sweetness

1. Chi Hui is very capable, just a slacker. The awards they win later come from the two of them working hard together.

2. Includes a little bit of forum-style narration.

The Fake Young Master of a Wealthy Family Ran Away from His Wedding Again [Reborn]

Lu Zhiyan, the Lu family's "illegitimate son," has been mocked as a fake young master from a wealthy family ever since he was a child.

He tries hard to please everyone just to survive, but is still sent into an arranged marriage. In the end, he is locked away for three years and made a sacrifice in a power struggle.

Reborn, when faced with an arranged marriage once more, Lu Zhiyan chooses to run away from the wedding.

*

For his first escape, Lu Zhiyan gets the groom drunk, but the car breaks down on the highway. Luckily, he gets a ride from a university professor.

Chu Ge rests an arm on the steering wheel, straightens Lu Zhiyan's collar, and says with a smile, "Running away from home?"

Lu Zhiyan acts like a young master, cool and cocky. "What? You want to take me in for a few days?"

For his second escape, Lu Zhiyan finds a stand-in, but gets taken back by traffic police for riding without a helmet and made an example of in an educational talk. As luck would have it, Chu Ge happens to be there on business.

Chu Ge adjusts his glasses, his eyes full of suspicion, and asks, "Did you get into a fight?"

Lu Zhiyan wraps both arms around Chu Ge's and refuses to let go. "He's my guardian. Talk to him."

Chu Ge: "?"

For his third escape, Lu Zhiyan persuades the groom to switch sides, but the rental he'd planned to move into is discovered.

Grinding his teeth, Lu Zhiyan goes straight to Chu Ge's home, throws himself into his arms, wraps himself around Chu Ge's waist, and says, "I'm going to cling to you. I'm never leaving again."

*

Chu Ge has seen Lu Zhiyan many times, but the occasion that left the deepest impression was a Christmas party.

The supposedly timid, insecure fake young master was like a cunning little fox, seeing through the plot to frame him and striking back hard.

A few days later, Chu Ge hears that Lu Zhiyan has run away from his wedding and is heading in Chu Ge's direction.

Chu Ge's employer tells him to find Lu Zhiyan and bring him back by force.

Chu Ge glances at Lu Zhiyan, sleeping quietly in his car, and turns off his phone. "Sorry, I haven't seen him."

*

Later, Lu Zhiyan is found by his biological parents.

They are powerful and fabulously wealthy, and give Lu Zhiyan all the love and money they never had a chance to give him before.

At a banquet.

A greasy middle-aged man brings his son over with drinks, ingratiating himself with several powerful figures. They regard him coldly, ignoring all his efforts to curry favor.

Just as the man curses their arrogance under his breath, he sees their expressions turn obsequious as they head toward a young man surrounded by attendants.

Lu Zhiyan raises a hand, and the people eagerly talking to him step aside to make way.

He curls his lips and looks at his stunned foster father and brother, sneering. "I'm back. Aren't you going to welcome me?"
