Chang Zhushu says that life on a discriminating Earth is plain crap comparable to pizzas without sauce and toppings. He sulked, his arms crossed as he sits on a white cloud formed like a soft pillow on a five star hotel.
"And now, where am I?" Of course, he wouldn't mind if someone spill the beans and congratulatory tell him that he is currently pending to heaven, he lived a very priest like life, something like a Virgin Mary, he was pretty much a good boy down below, it would come to a surprise if he would actually be sentence to hell rather-
The confidence originated from his ancestors, please, you're utmost welcome, thus but a mere little show of precise judgement of the future, correctly read, people.
"Welcome, Dear Narcissist," A woman with utmost grace, beauty and elegance descended from above the blue sky, long silk silver hair and white glass like skin, her sharp yet pure eyes brimming with kindness and sincerity, huge and feathered white wings curled towards the woman, she was so holy.
Chang Zhushu hummed and says that he doesn't mind going to hell at all if it meant punching this ugly woman to reality.
"Heh," The said woman didn't change her smile no matter if she could read the thoughts of the other, instead, it even widened joyfully, "It doesn't matter even if you don't reincarnate to where ikemens are? Handsome guys with eight pack abs and outstanding appearance?"
Chang Zhushu stiffened and coughed, "Who are you anyways?" He looked dodging towards another direction, won't admit that he was shaken from what the angel has said.
"I'm an Angel as you thought,"
Chang Zhushu: QAQ
"And, I'm a fujoshi angel!" Angel-nim proudly patted her bountiful chest with a proud smile, Chang Zhushu clapped his hands in synchrony followed by an expression of awe, no one will know if he's being sarcastic or not.
"So, you, a human who died as a virgin, being unable to experience the pleasure of having a lover and being together with your preference is blessed by me," With a mischievous grin, she continued her monologue, "I shall reincarnate you to another world where you could be given another chance to re-write your story!"
Chang Zhushu was unimpressed, his lips twitching in speechlessness, he is sincerely wondering if this so-called Angel is actually a demon sent in disguise to abuse his delicate and soft self :) Does she have to hit sore spot huh??
"I am just being honest," Angel-nim politely push back her hair behind her ears and smiled shyly.
Chang Zhushu: Ha ha
"That aside, what do you say about my proposition?" Angel-nim has obvious excitement all over her body as she look at Chang Zhushu who was closing his eyes, as if in deep thought.
Is he in a deep thought? Theoretically, yes, he should think it through, realistically, Chang Zhushu has no qualms no matter how suspicious this woman before him is acting, it's a future where he could drool over ikemens at stake!
"Very well," With utmost seriousness, Chang Zhushu opened his mouth that continue to speak nonsense, "I, Chang Zhushu, 23 years old, under the sight of heaven and earth, I shall accept such a great gift I dare deserve!"
"That's the spirit!" Angel-nim shakes her hands up and down to cheer for herself and Chang Zhushu, she'll get her daily dose of BL and also finish her mission while he get his lover! Two birds in one stone!
"Now, I have a condition," Angel-nim rubbed her neck and sheepishly look at the guy sitting with still crossed arms and closed eyes.
"Say," With the coolest voice he could manage, he spoke one word– Ah Ah Ah!! Chang Zhushu wanna squeal, how can he sound so cool??
Angel-nim pretended not to hear the man's thoughts and continued with what she was saying, "Well, you have to defeat a demon queen!"
"Can't it be a demon king?" Chang Zhushu spoke with dislike, at least he wouldn't hesitate to beg and seduce the demon if it's a king, less trouble than dealing with a queen.
"Well... a queen was born and not a king," Angel-nim also sulked, she also want it to be a male ruler but she guess it can't be helped since a female demon was born.
"How could I defeat a demon queen-? I think you're just sending me to my death bed faster than I had on my last life," Chang Zhushu pouted and glanced at the Angel, in all honesty, he doesn't mind but dying again is absolutely not accepted!
"Of course! I wouldn't be stupid enough to send a man who has no useful fighting abilities, so, as a benevolent angel I am-"
"Quit the nonsense, it doesn't suit you," Chang Zhushu expresses that such Angel is not likeable.
"– As such, I'll allow you to choose two skills," Angel-nim rubbed her cheeks and meditated, deep breaths, just a little more and this old guy will get a realization!
"How do I choose?" Chang Zhushu curiously asked, this is quite new to him so this is a bit novel.
"Just think of something that you think would be useful and I'll grant it!" Angel-nim grinned, since she got permission from the Higher God, she was able to confidently say such things.
Chang Zhushu thought about it, since he will be defeating a demon queen and will meet lots of ikemen, appearance is a must!
"You don't have to worry about appearance, you'll have a great appearance whether you like it or not," Angel-nim says that no such thing exists but since the guy's position has already been decided, she can assure the man that's it's a pretty nice face he'll get.
Chang Zhushu nodded and then think it through, as a person whose only focus is to study and doesn't have any interests on novels, movies, animes, manhwas or anything similar, he has no idea what to think about.
Angel-nim glanced at Chang Zhushu and suggested, "What about I think it for you? I promise it's not super useless!"
Chang Zhushu nodded, anyways, Angels are supposedly nice creatures, it should be fine to entrust something like this to her- right?

Trusted like a dumb shit.
Why is he a baby now???
Cheng Zhushu still remembered his jumping heart when he met a giant face after opening his eyes on the new world, damn, he thought he will nearly get a heart attack first before anything else.
Not only that, he can't move his body on his own will ah
Chang Zhushu felt aggrieved with his situation and suddenly felt the desire to cry, tears already forming around his eye sockets, "W-wuu! Hic, sniff, waaaaa!" What the fuck ahhhh, the difficulties of being a baby is already showing up.
A grown 23 years old man, crying in front of a giant, ouuuuu, the shame sniff!
"Shh, shh, it's okay, baby," The old woman softly hugged him and patted his back rhythmically, trying to stop him from crying, Chang Zhushu deeply appreciate the thought but he felt like crying even more ah
This continued on for at least 2 more minutes till Chang Zhushu finally calmed down and reluctantly accepted the situation.
That he had become an infant.
Alright, other than the fact he have to release his shit on a soft cloth, piss at the cloth, cry so that he could get a change of underwear, everything is perfectly peaceful other than the excessive lack of entertainment that he could only assess and think of lots of things to at least relieve his boredom.
For example, he realized that he has no idea what kind of skill the Angel gave him, he is completely ignorant about it. It's either he was forgotten to be notified or he was cheated.
Second, he seems to be on an orphanage rather than having his own blood family, the kids in the orphan were nice and amiable in all fairness and is quite interesting, like how this one kid lied but can't even lie properly and ended up getting caught hehe
Chang Zhushu also found out that he is currently located on a small town, it isn't as big as cities nor is it as small as villages, he usually gets to see the scenery outside when grandmother dean carry him out to play with the other kids.
Chang Zhushu also like playing with the others ah, the aunties and uncles were all nice looking it can't be helped at all to like them, most of all since he can feel their affection towards him despite not being part of their family, he guessed that this is the charm of a small town where neighbors basically know each other like siblings.
He won't admit it's because those aunties has good looking sons, imagine a baby already drooling for a grown teenager who's at least 17 and up old– the chills must be deep-rooted.
Chang Zhushu were soon called Shushu since that's basically the nickname of his name, he did his best to spread it, the effort were hard work but he won't use his name from his last life, although he doesn't feel much about his name, this is a new life and a new beginning, he should get used to this new identity he will have.
Except that he still hadn't forgotten his main goal and his ties with an angel that told him to defeat a demon queen, yes, unfortunate as it may be, it's still remembered.
With all the being said, five years old Shushu glanced at the dilapidated house and tried his best to look undisturbed–
Ah ah ah there might be ghost
Wuuu why is it so quiet qaq
Is there really a powerful witch here?? Don't they know how to live in luxury and not scare innocent children away like the house on Hansel and Gretel huh
As soft as he could manage, he knocked on the door, he opened his mouth and tried to be calm, "Excuse me?"
.
.
.
.
.
A tall woman with a nice shaggy hair up to her waist opened the door, an unfriendly frown already showing impatience towards the unwelcomed visitor, to be exact, towards the persistent little kid just up to her knee.
"Whatever you are here for, go now and don't forget not to come back again or I will really not spare you no more!" Ba-chan raised her voice and coldly spat as she closed the door– well, tried to close the door.
"I want to be your disciple!" It took a deep long breath for Chang Zhushu to spoke those words with all his confidence, he's pretty scared right now alright?? He had hear about the rumors of the witch's house who moved here just five years ago, it ranges from creating poisonous potions to eating humans for longevity, no matter, it was all terrible to hear.
The only thing that gave him the will to come here was the fact this witch is powerful ah
To defeat a demon queen, he needs all the skills he could gather that could be helpful for his journey, of course, if he doesn't have talent– aiyo, it couldn't be helped, he could also live his life as a salted fish till the destruction comes.
All that aside, Chang Zhushu looked with utmost determination and persistence he could manage towards Ba-chan, seemingly saying everything he wants to say in those two pair of eyes, his acting skills already maxed to the brim.
Ba-chan looked at the little kid then contemptously scowled, "I don't need your sham, nothing will happen if you don't take it to heart, little kid," With a bang, Chang Zhushu jumped and knew that his face must be very awkward by now.
But... take it to heart...
Chang Zhushu closed his eyes and turned back, his destination back to the town, he gives up? yes, he gives up persuading the keen old woman, anyways, he had been pierced.
But that doesn't mean he gives up learning, if there's one thing he is very proud of then it would be his reading and comprehension ability, without those, would he have gotten scholarship from highschool to college?
Let him show that old hag how a top student with only academic awards in all his life dominates that stupid demon queen!
A/N: Poor Chang Zhushu doesn't know what life would bring him when his passion was ignited 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ
