Wen Zhao mysteriously transmigrated as villainous Mozun, Wen Fengming, from a xianxia novel he had read.... more>>

In the original story, Mozun committed a lot of atrocities. Upon suffering from demonic backlash, he betrayed his shizun, injuring his legs and drowned the immortal sect in blood; caused his xiao-shidi’s cultivation to be half-ruined, then he even ripped out the inner core of the sect’s guardian beast. His actions caused the world of the immortals to fall into great chaos. Eventually, he was attacked from all sides, condemned by heaven and earth, his bones crumbling to ashes.

Wen Zhao: …I think I can still salvage this.

Just as he was about to fight to change his destiny, he suddenly discovered—

And his beloved shizun blocked a fatal attack for him, staining his white clothes with blood. With a fiery gaze, his shizun extended his hand to him and said, “Sinful disciple, come here.”

In the cultivation realm, rumor has it that Wen Fengming became demonised.

Dormmate: “What’s the big occasion?”

Meanwhile, other game teammates were consoling Yue Qianling, “Who was the one blind enough to reject our little cutie?!”

Yue Qianling replied, “He’s the school’s grass, that one surnamed Gu… woowooo”

The eldest brother of the Tang family, Tang Xu’en, has recently been very troubled.
His youngest brother, Tang Yuan, had suddenly brought a boyfriend home! And even expressed that they are dating with marriage in mind!
The three brothers had lost their parents at a young age and his two foolish brothers had been raised and brought up single-handedly by Tang Xu’en. Despite nearing thirty, he himself wasn’t married and he had never been in a relationship either.... more>>

Tang Xu’en went to find his good friend, Ji Wei, for a drink—--
“So it turns out Xiao Yuan likes men. What does it mean when a man likes another man? What kind of book should I read to know more about this?”
“That man is so old, he’s four years older than me! But he seems to be very rich. When I searched him online, he was on the ‘Billionaires List’. He’s from a completely different world from us. You come from a good background yourself, do you know him? Can you help me look into what kind of person he is? I’m afraid of Xiao Yuan being deceived.”
“Xiao Yuan, that child, is such a fool. He even said at the table that he thought you and I were a couple seeing how well we got along with each other and how we would always go out to play together. That was why he felt comfortable coming out to me.”

The alcohol had made his cheeks flush red and head dizzy. He softly continued, “Xiao Yuan is really talking nonsense. He actually said that you like me. Wouldn’t that tarnish your reputation?”
Ji Wei drank from his glass and said calmly, “Firstly, you should change your way of thinking. Even if I really did like you, it would not tarnish my reputation. You shouldn’t regard liking a man as a bad thing.”
Tang Xu’en nodded blankly.
Ji Wei continued as he helped pour him another glass, “Besides, someone as good as you deserves to be liked.”
Tang Xu’en blushed at this praise of his. Feeling embarrassed, he turned his attention to drinking.

The next day.
When Tang Xu’en woke up, he found himself sleeping on the same bed as his good friend, Ji Wei.
He only vaguely remembered that last night, Ji Wei had said that he would tell him what it meant for a man to like another man. He had readily accepted this offer and even praised Ji Wei, saying that he was truly his best friend.

NB: There is a play on words in the title. ‘Tang’ is the surname of the three MC’s in this novel and it also means soup.

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?”

"Do I stay here?" He asked.

Cheng Yu didn't speak.

Lin An Lan frowned, looking both puzzled and innocent: "Sorry, I can't remember some things. May I ask, are you my boyfriend? Do I live here?"

Cheng Yu was shocked in his heart, but he smiled slightly as he reached out and led Lin An Lan inside, his tone gentle, as if they were a real pair of lovers.

"Yes." He said, "You're back too late, wife."
