Lin Xuchu died. When he opened his eyes again, he'd transmigrated into the body of a driver working for the CEO Xie Heng, an unlucky guy with the exact same name as him.

On his first day at work, Xie Heng held his phone and said coldly, "You don't need to come in again."

Lin Xuchu: ??? Fired on the first day? What earth-shattering crime had he committed?!

The next day, he was not only called back, but promoted to the CEO's "personal assistant."

The work wasn't tiring. It was just that Xie Heng always looked at him in a way that made him tremble.

After spending some time nervously around Xie Heng, their relationship had just started to improve when Lin Xuchu was unexpectedly summoned to the office.

Xie Heng's fingers came to rest on his collar. "Assistant Lin, let's talk about your other job."

With a tug of his finger, the bug on Lin Xuchu's collar glowed red in Xie Heng's palm.

Lin Xuchu: ??? Original owner, how many jobs were you working behind my back?! [Turns out he had a secret identity too?!]

Lin Xuchu swallowed hard, hurriedly closed Xie Heng's fingers, and silently edged back. "Maybe we shouldn't... I think talking about this right now is a little suggestive..."

Xie Heng blocked his way out, smiling without warmth. "Is that so? Assistant Lin doesn't want to talk to me. Is there someone else you'd rather talk to?"

Lin Xuchu: ??? Don't make things up! I wouldn't!

To protect his hard-won life, Lin Xuchu decisively clung to the CEO's coattails. But why was Xie Heng looking at him more and more strangely?

*

Xie Heng discovered that his assistant was a spy sent by his good-for-nothing younger brother.

After careful consideration, Xie Heng decided to keep the man right under his nose and watch what tricks his little assistant had up his sleeve.

After observing him for a while, Xie Heng realized his assistant wasn't quite what he'd expected.

When he had a stomachache, his little assistant took care of him even with a bad leg.

When he was in a bad mood, his little assistant bought him a little strawberry cake.

Even on a business trip, the assistant made him a snowman in the freezing cold...

Xie Heng narrowed his eyes. "Is this how far spies have to go these days?"

*

Later, as Lin Xuchu passed out after being thoroughly ravished, he still remembered to ask, "When did my secret identity get exposed?"

Xie Heng chuckled and lowered his head to kiss his tear-damp eyes. "Exposed? Did you ever put it on?"

Lin Xuchu's vision went black. Bler, is this even fair?

--

The good news: He had a secret identity.

The bad news: It fell to pieces on the very first day?!

Synopsis:

After finishing his exams, Ning Changqing slept like the dead. When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in an ice coffin, with a blood-soaked, handsome man in ancient-style clothing in his arms.

Meeting the handsome man's bloodshot eyes, Ning Changqing swallowed and said obediently, "You probably won't believe this, but I woke up and found myself in your bed, I mean, ice coffin, haha... I'll be going now..."

"Don't leave me..."

The handsome man clamped an arm around his waist and managed to get the words out before fainting again.

Ning Changqing's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, dude?! You can't just pin this on me!"

*

Other people who transmigrated either got a System or a golden finger. What did he get? Not only did he have no memories of this body, but he also...

Ning Changqing glanced at the emperor clinging to his waist and muttered with a complicated look, "You never said you were gay, you know?"

Xiao Mixin, who was like a giant dog, sniffed Ning Changqing's long neck and mumbled, "What's gay? I don't understand. Can I kiss you?"

Ning Changqing: "..."

I'm exhausted, and we can't even speak the same language.

Ning Changqing refused the temptation of good looks. "This isn't right. I'm straight, okay?"

Xiao Mixin nodded. "So am I."

Ning Changqing: "Great! I knew a handsome emperor like you couldn't be gay..."

Xiao Mixin: "I'm also long and big."

Ning Changqing O.O: "???"

*

In just a few months, Ning Changqing's straight-man boundaries retreated from "we're just sharing a bed for one night" to "it's normal for men to help each other out." By the time he realized something was off, Xiao Mixin had him pinned to the bed.

Ning Changqing teared up. "Xiao Mixin! Why is that thing of yours so huge?!"

After being thoroughly turned gay, Ning Changqing unexpectedly learned he was only someone else's substitute.

Ning Changqing slammed a hand on the table in anger. "I'm out of here! I'm done with this!"

Two minutes later, Ning Changqing couldn't resist sneaking into the secret chamber. He had to find out who the emperor's one true love was!

In the vast chamber, a portrait was surrounded by countless Buddhist scriptures. The person in the painting looked exactly like him.

A terrible pain surged through his head, and a flood of memories poured into him. Just before losing consciousness, Ning Changqing saw Xiao Mixin running toward him like a madman, eyes red. "Please, wake up..."

*

Three years after Ning Changqing's death, Xiao Mixin finally found a way to summon his soul back.

The body that had lain in the ice coffin opened its eyes again, but no longer recognized him.

It didn't matter. He remembered.

When Ning Changqing woke again, a golden chain was fastened around his ankle, with the other end attached to Xiao Mixin's.

"Changqing, why are you leaving me again?"

"Was I not good enough?" Xiao Mixin clutched his slender ankle obsessively.

"It doesn't matter. You won't escape again."

...Wait, am I actually the emperor's one true love?!
