[Content warning: two men, equally strong leads, sweet romance, happy ending, mutual devotion, both reborn, taking down scumbags, satisfying revenge]
Wen Nanxi, heir to the Marquis of Wenzhong's household, was a refined young gentleman from an esteemed family. He observed proper etiquette and upheld the principles of a gentleman. In his previous life, he accidentally saved the Ninth Prince, and the two secretly became close friends. Wen Nanxi regarded him as a worthy lord to serve.
But later, this close friend destroyed Wen Nanxi's maternal grandfather's family and killed his father, all to give the title of Marquis of Wenzhong to his illegitimate younger brother.
Starting over, Wen Nanxi came across a gravely wounded man by the roadside. Looking at the ungrateful wretch barely clinging to life, he said, “There's no saving him. Dig a hole and bury him.”
In his previous life, Gu Junlin fell in love with his savior and friend, the heir to the Marquis of Wenzhong. He knew that such feelings would never be accepted by the world, and would tarnish the reputation of a noble gentleman like Wen Nanxi.
He had thought he would keep his feelings hidden for the rest of his life. He never expected his soul to be trapped inside his body, while his body became a puppet in someone else's hands.
He watched helplessly as “he” secretly hurt the one he loved, then, after taking the throne, killed his maternal grandfather and father, and personally ended his beloved's life.
Only on the brink of death did he learn why this had happened to him.
He never imagined he would get another chance at life.
Gu Junlin clung desperately to Wen Nanxi's foot. “I-I can still be saved.”
I can still love you properly, just once.
