Poor little Qi Xi was on the roadside with his bedroll and an old cat. A luxury car suddenly stopped in front of him, and a handsome and fierce man got out.

Fu Yanchuan has a first love. He left him for his dream and remained single until he met a young man on the roadside who looked very much like his first love back then.

The young man seemed to be in a bad state of mind. He was temporarily obsessed with his thoughts.

Fu Yanchuan: Be my substitute and I will take you home.

Qi Xi: Then will you take care of me when I’m sick, comfort me when I’m sad, and give my cat the same care that you’ll give me until I die?

Fu Yanchuan: …Yes.

Qi Xi: Okay, when will the contract be signed?

Fu Yanchuan:…….

On the first night as a stand-in, Qi Xi took the initiative to get into Fu Yanchuan’s bed: This is what a stand-in should do. Isn’t this what should I do?

However, Fu Yanchuan only kissed him, and he blushed and gasped.

Qi Xi: This is what happens when I get nervous. Send me to the hospital quickly, otherwise your substitute will be gone.

After working as a stand-in for a month, Qi Xi failed his exam: Why is it so difficult? Can you teach me? Otherwise your stand-in will be bald.

After being a stand-in for a year, Qi Xi lay in Fu Yanchuan’s arms: Being your stand-in is so tiring. My mouth hurts, my throat hurts, and my waist hurts. If you don’t rub your stand-in, he will die of exhaustion.

In the second year of being a substitute, the first love came back, and his friend asked Fu Yanchuan: When will you dump Qi Xi and pursue your first love back?

Fu Yanchuan jumped up while exclaiming: Do you know how much I paid to raise him? He had to be fed when eating and coaxed when sleeping. He was injured every three days and sick every five days. I even had to watch him when we are sleeping, fearing that he would run out of energy! I’m afraid he will break when I hold him in my hand! Dump him? I’m afraid no one would want this life! …What did you just say about white moonlight? Huh? What do you mean my white moonlight? <<less

Meng Fu was 16 years old when the Jiang family came looking for her. They said that she had been mistakenly swapped with someone else since a young age. Before she can react, her body is occupied by the soul of a female journalist from an alternate world for two years.

She finally manages to reclaim her body, however...

Mother from a wealthy family: "The young master of the Tong family studied abroad, while you dropped out of high school. Although this betrothal is arranged by both families when both of you were young, there is no need to insist on the marriage."

Father: "Xinran is also my daughter. I hope you will get along well with her and learn from her."

Younger brother: "I only have one elder sister, and she is Jiang Xinran."

Before reclaiming her body, Meng Fu was ranked fourth in the Global Idol girl group program. She was a bimbo that all netizens hated, and the daughter that the Jiang family refused to recognize. However, after she reclaims her body, no offence, but no other contestant is a match for her.

Initially, fans from major forums insist that Meng Fu leaves the girl group and showbiz, attacking her with harsh criticisms. A group of fans retaliate and speak up for Meng Fu.

Until later, a powerful figure publishes a post: [Reposting my new drama]

Someone commented: [You got the wrong account.]

This text is also known as《The Beloved Actress and Her Dangerous yet Charming Doctor Gu》... more>>

In her youth, Yan Zhen enjoyed teasing Gu Qinghe, a flower on a high peak, seeking opportunities to approach, pluck, and claim her as her own. Whether she succeeded or not is another story.

As of now, Yan Zhen has already become a highly popular actress, unwavering in her original intention, focusing only on “picking” Doctor Gu.

She always thought her beloved was just an “ordinary person”——

A cardiothoracic surgeon, though naturally cold and ascetic, is kind and gentle, captivating those around her.

Of course, she still couldn’t make Doctor Gu’s heart flutter, which troubled Yan Zhen.

However, Gu Qinghe didn’t think it that way; she was born with the blood of a demon. Her thoughts, belonging to darkness, had long harbored the desire of tearing and consuming the other — right down to the bone. She would eliminate any threats, ensuring Yan Zhen belonged only to her.

I’m in a secret, bad romance with a love dependent student—... more>>

「Having a secret meeting with a student one is in charge of at school… Isn’t it exciting?」

The special relationship with Kirihara that no one can know about began when I took up my post at Mori Kawara High School as a teacher.

At school, she’s the serious student council president who has earned a lot of trust from other teachers, but when it’s just the two of us, she becomes mischievous, clingy, and jealous.

On weekends, I cook meals at her place, play games together, and pamper her as if we were lovers.

Unable to reject her because she knows my weakness, and despite knowing it’s wrong, we continue to pile up secrets little by little every day…

「Sensei, my feelings of liking you have grown very strong.」

As Kirihara openly confronts me with her feelings, the emotions I’ve been holding back grow even stronger.

Even though it would all be over if it were exposed, that sense of immorality ironically only accelerates things further— <<less

Yao Jinxi likes spring. This is because after spring, the weather becomes warmer. His favourite new tea would also be on the market by then.... more>>

It was also in the mild and rainy spring season that he was forced to take care of Wu Yang, a strange and troublesome guy.

Hence, spring is a suitable time for the story to begin.

Regarding the attributes of gong and shou, it’s hard to say at first. But probably:

Yao Jinxi: Are you saying that this guy is schizophrenic?

Wu Yang: In fact, Jinxi is very cute. Despite his temper, which is worse than the way he looks. Despite him liking to sleep in and being picky with what he eats. And despite him refusing to wash the dishes after cooking… He is really cute.

Yao Jinxi: … Are you really my CP?

Sorry. CP is Wu Yang (gong) X Yao Jinxi (shou)

… I wish you happiness. Amen.

This story strives to be warm and healing. Although there is some dog blood, entanglement and hypocrisy, I still swear that it’ll be as warm as spring breeze_(:з」∠)_ <<less

Transfer student, a head honcho in his previous school • Damn badass cool guy, Shou (Zhai Yao)... more>>

Top-notch big shot in his curent school • Reserved, cunning, and upfront, Gong (Shen Heng)

#This is a story of when one school boss meets another school boss…

Zhai Yao transferred from one rubbish school to another rubbish school, and on the very first day, he sent shockwaves through his new class, leaving his classmates utterly bewildered.

With a pale and delicate countenance and a slender figure, Zhai Yao appeared anything but the rumoured fighter who could take on ten opponents at once. Yet, the very next moment after entering the classroom, he confidently strolled to the back row, kicked a desk in the corner, and dropped his backpack on it.

The male student, who had been reading with lowered eyes, lifted his head and looked up with an indifferent expression. “Need something?” Zhai Yao glanced at the name on his book, knocked on his desk twice, and said, “Shen Xing (沈行), right? …Move aside.”

He remained utterly oblivious to the ominous hush around him—

Very well, the new student had just arrived, and on his very first day, he had already clashed with the school’s big shot.

The big shot sneered, rising to his feet. With a casual flick of his hand, he sent Zhai Yao’s backpack sailing into the rubbish bin. He corrected him, “‘Heng (珩)’.”

–

Zhai Yao and Shen Heng became desk mates.

Zhai Yao felt that his new desk mate was both devious and pretentious. Not only was he ruthless in fights, but he also always carried a book in his hands. As fate would have it, their academic standings left them ranked side by side at the bottom-most. To put it bluntly, he was nothing more than an overbearing king of pretence.

It wasn’t until one day, by a twist of fate, Zhai Yao ended up visiting Shen Heng’s home and discovered a wall decorated with certificates and awards.

Shen Heng accompanied his senile elderly grandpa. He patiently and tirelessly answered the old man’s repetitive questions while revealing his strong yet slender arms, preparing a meal consisting of three dishes and a soup.

He cast a cold glance at Zhai Yao. “Come and have dinner.”

Zhai Yao chuckled and approached, narrowing his eyes. “Tsk, you’re quite a homemaker, huh.”

Shen Heng gazed at Zhai Yao’s exposed fair neck, his eyes lingering for a moment before he averted his gaze. His earlobes betrayed a subtle blush.

–

Zhai Yao once thought that Shen Heng was a bit of a pitiful soul, implicated by the hardships of life, from being an all-around academic genius to falling into a delinquent.

To the extent that, when Shen Heng pinned him against the wall in the stairwell and even locked the door behind them, Zhai Yao still maintained a light-hearted demeanour, joking with a mindset of rescuing a wayward youth, “Want to kiss me? Wait until you break into the top 100.”

Shen Heng’s breath hitched ever so slightly, his gaze deepening with a mysterious intensity. “I’ll just get the top rank instead. Would that be enough to bed you?”

‘Gerun, that son of a b*tch...!’

When I opened my eyes, it was ten years ago. And in a different world!

Since I've already come back to life, there’s nothing I can do about it.

To avoid repeating the foolish past,

"Give me everything from here to there."
"...You’re going to buy all of this?"

I used that enemy-like guy as my wallet,

"Well, I heard from my friends that my dear granddaughter likes shopping so much, and that you act cute, too."
"It's just because I need a wallet.

"Father, I'm going to attend a party. Can you escort me?"

"Yes. As long as you dress up nicely."
Even the once-broken family relationship was splendidly restored.

The business of love, which I had once already given up on, had also started perfectly.
