Xu Tang's "Tang" is the "Tang"(pond) in "sinking into the pond." When his mother held him and plunged into the river, the firelight from the shore illuminated the village, and everyone was laughing. Zhou Yingchuan's background was no better. Originally, their destined fate was to obediently tend to their rundown hardware repair shop, less than three square meters in size, in their small town—just pitiable subjects of scorn and ridicule for the neighbors after their meals. But they refused to accept fate, stubbornly refusing. Before the age of twenty, Xu Tang and Zhou Yingchuan shared a pair of eyes. After twenty, they shared a single life. Defying fate, they glimpsed the light.

In his sophomore year, Lu Yuxing went out for a midnight stroll and was accidentally hit by a motorcycle, losing his memory. When he opened his eyes, the only thing in the hospital room was a pair of coldly staring eyes. The other man had clear, handsome features, but every inch of his face inexplicably annoyed Lu Yuxing. Suppressing his aversion, he asked, "Who are you?" The man gave him an odd look for a few seconds before suddenly smiling. "Your boyfriend." * In the middle of the night, Shang Jue received a call saying his friend had been hit by a car. Ruling out the possibility of a scam, Shang Jue rushed to the hospital—only to find a face he loathed lying in the hospital bed. He asked coldly, "Who said I was his friend?" The police handed him Lu Yuxing’s phone. The contacts list was a uniform row of full names, not even identifying his parents—except for one glaringly obvious note: "Asshole." "It's the only special entry. I assumed you were close." Shang Jue: "..." Just then, the person on the bed slowly woke up and asked gently, "Who are you?" Shang Jue smirked coldly, anticipating the drama when the man regained his memory: "Your boyfriend." * After losing his memory, Lu Yuxing realized he had treated his boyfriend poorly in the past—even showing signs of domestic violence. Although he felt no love for his boyfriend yet, he resolved to change his ways. Holding his boyfriend’s hand when they went out, serving him his favorite dishes during meals, kissing him in tender moments... One day, to celebrate their fabricated "one-year anniversary," Lu Yuxing suppressed his reluctance and leaned in to kiss his boyfriend. When the kiss ended, Lu Yuxing awkwardly averted his gaze, his expression strange. Unnoticed, his boyfriend’s face twisted even more than his.

On his first day at a new school, Wen Xiao heard multiple versions of legends about his deskmate—skipping classes year-round, getting into fights, and scoring exactly sixty points in every subject. Their homeroom teacher said kindly, *"You’re an outstanding student. Don’t let Chi Ye affect your studies."* Classmates pitied Wen Xiao: *"You must keep your distance from Brother Chi!"* Having once witnessed Wen Xiao wield a discarded plastic pipe to coldly beat down multiple opponents, Chi Ye roared inwardly: *Who the hell is influencing who here?!* A slice-of-school-life novel.

From then on, the boss becomes the head chef. In the kitchen, by the cooking station. The new head chef pins the trembling, blindfolded apprentice onto the counter and kisses him without a word.

The apprentice licks his lips again and thinks silently: So it was sour... --- Cold but sweet apprentice (bottom) / Beautiful and kind-hearted boss (top) (The bottom has psychological barriers, including social anxiety and touch aversion.)

One rainy night, Yu Shu and Cheng Qing spend the night together. Before leaving, the aloof woman buttons her collar to the top and says calmly, "Let's try this first. No emotional involvement." Yu Shu nods: "Okay." The next day, when substituting for a friend's attendance at the neighboring university, she gets punished for tardiness and stammers at the doorway: "P-Professor Cheng."

So her "limits" meant exhausting herself as a bottom?! - Ice Queen × Sickly White Rabbit

Qi Chu woke up to two major dilemmas— First, he had turned into a Siberian Husky. Second, this Husky had somehow found himself stranded in the middle of a wolf pack. When he realized the situation, his fur practically stood on end, his tail bristling in fear. The wolf pack, still shaken by their alpha’s recent disappearance, eyed the suspicious newcomer warily. Countless pairs of icy Siberian wolf eyes locked onto Qi Chu, forcing him to spin wild lies just to survive. * Huo Bei, the pack’s true alpha, had lost contact with his wolves during a battle. After a grueling week of searching, he finally reunited with them, only to find— "Let me tell you, when your alpha was pursuing me, he followed me everywhere. Even when he was injured, he still hunted for me—now that’s true love, so touching it could move heaven and earth," declared a particularly striking "wolf" sprawled on a rock, pride practically radiating off him. "But I rejected him at first. Of course, I was eventually moved by his devotion, and we got together in the end." Huo Bei stood silently in the crowd, watching as this lying "wolf" spun increasingly outrageous tales. The other wolves quickly noticed Huo Bei's return, but before they could react, he signaled for silence. Huo Bei asked coldly, "The alpha pursued you? Then why did you reject him at first?" Qi Chu smirked. "Because I was testing his devotion." Huo Bei fell quiet. Only then did Qi Chu realize he’d never seen this particular wolf before. Before he could react, the massive Siberian wolf before him sneered. "Good. If you hadn't just been making up lies about me, I might've believed you." **Qi Chu: ???** **Qi Chu: !!! HOLY SH—**

Xia Xingmian adored her patron Lu Qiurui. She stayed quietly by Lu Qiurui’s side for three years, believing the other would one day fall for her. Yet in those three years, Lu Qiurui’s gaze never lingered on her. On Xia Xingmian’s 21st birthday, Lu Qiurui told her: "Let’s end this. I’ve fallen for someone else." That night, Xia Xingmian drank herself into a stupor. Driven by alcohol, she stumbled on instinct to Lu Qiurui’s home. The next morning, sobering up, she realized with shock that an unfamiliar woman lay beside her. The woman, eyes seductive as silk, toyed with Xia Xingmian’s hair and said: Her name was Tao Ye. She was the very newcomer Lu Qiurui had vowed to pursue. --- Xia Xingmian thought it was just an accidental one-night affair. But later, even she couldn’t explain how—Tao Ye, that woman, was like poison. Somehow, they had a second night, a third… Countless nights.

1. Stressed by work, Ji Ran vents by posting photos of himself in women's clothing online. He never shows his face, but his slim, fair figure makes him a top influencer in the circle. Fans often ship him with another male aesthetics blogger. Orca, a top-tier male aesthetics blogger, never reveals his face, flaunts his body, or panders to fans. His perfect physique and high-quality photos earn him the title of "Daddy" for countless admirers. But Ji Ran hates him. Simply because Orca reminds him too much of his boss. From clothing style to mannerisms—even the subtle dominance—they're identical. 2. Han Shen, Ji Ran's boss, is a renowned managing director at an investment bank. He embodies every trait of a successful man: elite education, prestigious background, strong personality, and impossibly high work standards. Under his leadership, Ji Ran grows rapidly—but the stress leaves him sleepless and anxious. So when Orca proposes a video collaboration, Ji Ran shamefully agrees. He vents his frustrations about Han Shen onto Orca, calling him cold, sharp-tongued, a capitalist, and a despicable rich man. But what upsets Ji Ran most is that his boss never praises him. No matter how hard he works, all he gets is a lifeless "Good." Until one day, after overworking himself to exhaustion, he wakes up to his boss’s icy gaze: "Why didn't you tell me you were struggling?" 3. Ji Ran notices his boss changing. When stuck on a project, Han Shen says, "Don’t worry, I’ll guide you." When Ji Ran cries on the rooftop from stress, Han Shen hands him a handkerchief: "Don’t cry—tell me what’s wrong." When danger arises during fieldwork, Han Shen shields him: "Who said you could bully my person?" Han Shen grows gentler—and more unbearably flustering. These feelings erupt after Ji Ran completes an ultra-difficult project. At the celebration, Han Shen pats his head in front of the team: "Good boy, you did well." Overwhelmed by emotion, Ji Ran blushes fiercely. He cuts ties with Orca and quits cross-dressing. He buries the past—including his shameful possessiveness toward his boss. Life returns to normal, but with a faint sense of loss. Until Han Shen falls ill, and Ji Ran visits his home. By chance, he enters a wardrobe— and finds a wall of Orca-inspired suits, plus unopened women's clothing in his exact size.

[There are probably only a few chapters left before it ends, and then there will be extra side stories about the future world/body swap and so on. It’s just that my physical condition really can’t support such high-intensity typing. Sorry. (bows)] Pei Qi had never been very smart; he had a single-minded mind. Aside from a pretty face and a strangely abundant strength that seemed never to run out, he had almost nothing worthy in the eyes of the Pei family. Later, his father died, and his younger brother, who had placed third in the imperial examinations, inherited the title. The title went to his younger brother, and the family thought they couldn’t just let Pei Qi starve to death. So the Pei family went to great lengths to have someone arrange for him to become a Jinyiwei. When Pei Qi put on the flying-fish uniform, with his red lips and white teeth, broad shoulders and narrow waist, he really did look the part. By day he went out to seize houses, and by night he came home for dinner. Life was quite pleasant. But good times did not last. His younger brother made a mistake, lost the title, and was transferred out of the capital to serve as a county magistrate in the south. The whole family went with him, leaving only Pei Qi alone in the capital. Before they left, his mother worriedly instructed him: "Xiao Qi, remember, you work for the emperor. No matter what others say, don’t listen. Listen only to the emperor." Pei Qi nodded and took it seriously to heart. —— Over the next few years, he really did just that. He listened to no one but the emperor, and would go through fire and water for him. No matter how many colleagues around him defected or chose sides, he never followed the crowd. In the end, when the former emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, once again making use of talent, the Pei family finally managed to be transferred back to the capital from the local post. When they returned, they stared in disbelief at the lavishly decorated Pei residence and at Pei Qi, dressed in an imperial python robe. By then, Pei Qi had risen to Commander of the Northern Pacification Commission, a favored man by the new emperor’s side, and in the past two days he had even been granted the title of Duke Protector of the Nation. His younger brother stammered, "E-elder brother, what have you done?" Pei Qi thought for a moment, recalling the things those people in the prison had cursed him with, like "hawk dog" and "lapdog." So Pei Qi said with utter seriousness: "I’m a dog for His Majesty." Younger brother: ? The new emperor, whose reputation had been ruined: ? [Things are a bit better now.

After death, Wang Zhaomou realized he was an obscure side character in a Mary Sue novel. The Wang Corporation, which he painstakingly built over twenty years, collapsed overnight when the domineering male lead uttered the words, "The weather’s cold—time for the Wangs to fall." All his assets were seized for debt, not even an extra pair of underwear left. This is absurd! What does chilly weather have to do with anyone surnamed Wang? Did I summon the cold front?! Reawakening in the past, twenty years earlier, Wang Zhaomou, drunk and frustrated at a banquet, stumbled outside and saw a man eerily resembling the domineering CEO standing by the street, gripping a knife. Driven by sheer survival instinct, Wang Zhaomou lunged at the man’s long legs, weeping, "CEO Leng! It’s not cold today! Acquire me, please!" Sobering up, he realized he’d grabbed the wrong person—the handsome man in an apron diligently opening durian boxes was actually the domineering CEO’s long-lost father, not yet reclaimed by his wealthy family! Meanwhile, the young future CEO was strapped to his father’s back, tearful from the durian stench, desperately reaching out to Wang for help. Noticing the man’s flushed ears and averted gaze, Wang smirked at the little tyrant. *Kid~ How the tables have turned :)*

*After waking up, Xie Yuanjia, the only male nurse in the maternity ward, transmigrates into the cannon-fodder young emperor from the popular revenge novel "The Last Emperor"—betrayed by the male lead, imprisoned, stripped of power, and eventually poisoned to death. Faced with this tragic plot, Xie Yuanjia is more than willing to hand over the throne with both hands, begging the male lead to spare his life! QAQ!* *Meanwhile, the powerful regent Fu Jinghong smirks coldly: "Hmph. I refuse to believe a naive little brat could ever escape my grasp!"* *The arrogant young general Ji Shaoyan scoffs: "Huh? This kid’s the one I’m supposed to swear loyalty to? Has he even been weaned?"* *The elegant, refined prime minister sneers: "Tch. Just looking at this emperor gives me a headache."* *However, the "True Fragrance" law always prevails—several years later:* *Regent Fu: "Where’s my little treasure?"* *General Ji: "Your Majesty, just say the word, and I’ll crush whoever displeases you!"* *Prime Minister: "Tch. Looking at the regent gives me a headache."*

Thanks for supporting the official version ^w^ Yan Shi, a powerhouse with an unyielding devotion to fairness. She is the director of the Abnormal Management Bureau at the boundary of the surface world and the hidden world—an almost omnipotent figure. What makes Yan Shi even more unique is her enigmatic nature as the bureau’s director. No one knows her origins or her family background. She is a staunch guardian of order, ensuring equality under her protection, where no one’s fate is predetermined by innate gifts. Her sole exception is her twin sister, Yan Lan. Yan Lan is a rule-breaker, a chaos-loving troublemaker born to defy. Yan Shi and Yan Lan are like two sides of a mirror—divergent choices in a world twisted by the law of the jungle. In Yan Lan, glimpses of Yan Shi’s past can always be seen: an unwanted childhood, a perpetually solitary youth, and a growth marked by endless betrayals and oppression. She clings to long-forgotten promises, waiting for people who either turned against her or vanished years ago—never to return. This is how countless readers of a fantasy shounen manga describe Yan Shi, the guardian of order. 【*sobs* Director Yan, who repays the world’s cruelty with boundless kindness because of a single act of warmth she once received】 【A year after Grandma passed, Director Yan learned her final wish was for her to protect her sister—I’m deceased, Director Yan QAQ】 【Director Yan, stop waiting—the person who made that promise forgot long ago】 【Why does no one cherish Director Yan??? The quiet ones are always overlooked—Director Yan, stop keeping everything locked inside!!!!】 【Author, please give Director Yan a happy ending—*heart-wrenching scream.jpg*】 After reading the suddenly appearing manga on her phone, Yan Shi slowly types a question mark. She thinks she finally understands why her coworkers always seem to hesitate around her. But isn’t she just a regular office worker who clocks in on time, leaves punctually, and dreams of retirement??? Why all the tragic, melodramatic assumptions? Stop projecting weird filters and backstories onto her! Even more absurd—her post-work antics and love for spectating chaos were also depicted, with readers mistaking it for her twin sister’s doing. #About being expressionless and minding my own business yet always getting weird fan theories attached to me #Yes, I have a sister—she’s the one who did all that! --- Reading Guide: 1. No identity reveals; lighthearted tone; non-traditional power fantasy. Any early confusion about split personas will be explained later. 2. Non-typical female lead—her morals and humanity flicker unpredictably. 3. Equal focus on Yan Shi and Yan Lan’s arcs—no matter the personality, it’s all Yan Shi.

Though weak and coughing up blood, Yan Yunzhou’s iron will remains unshaken. *"Go stay in the next room. Make your plans... after I die."* "Plans"? Is he suggesting a burial companion?! *"Your bed looks big enough to share…?"* He needs to check if Yan Yunzhou is still salvageable. Yan Yunzhou soon discovers his "ill-fated" bride is unexpectedly intriguing—timid and obedient when sober, but a completely different person when drunk: *"You’re so pitiful, hiding all that sorrow inside."* *"Drink with me—drown your worries."* *"Let me see your wounds.

Ning Jiu freezes—are ancient people this bold?! Hug him?! This is a murderous prince fresh from a bloodbath. Would refusing mean instant death? Nothing beats survival. Nervously, he embraces the man’s slender waist. The room falls deadly silent—until icy fingers grip his neck. *"I forgot—Young Master Ning is a noble heir. You wouldn’t know how to undress someone."* Ning Jiu leaps back: *"My apologies, Your Highness! It’s just… hot in here! Undressing—right, undressing!"* —— **Mini Theater 2:** An assassin bursts in. Ning Jiu panics—*not another attack?!* He dives behind Yan Yunzhou faster than a shadow guard. Later, after the misunderstanding clears, he sheepishly climbs down: *"I swear, Your Highness, it was just reflex! Fear of assassins… attacking you!"* Cold eyes narrow: *"Ah yes. ‘Fear of assassins’… so you hid* behind *me."* Ning Jiu: *"I’ll never do it again! Next time, I’ll shield you!"*
