A bright, resilient sunshine-girl heroine × a gentle, scheming, fatherly male lead
Lin Anyu, a 27-year-old hospital worker, dies from overwork and wakes up as the villainess in a romance novel. She discovers that the cheap older brother who's two years older than her, and also the male lead of the original story, looks exactly like and even shares a name with Xie Qi'an, her anime boyfriend from her previous world!
Lin Anyu is always overflowing with motherly affection for little Xie. When she opens her eyes, she's actually gone back to his childhood. She thinks, Is this compensation for being worked like a mule in my previous life? (Wipes away a tear.)
Thinking of his miserable childhood, Lin Anyu resolves to protect little Xie this time and give him a happy, loving childhood.
She imagines a joyful future of raising a child, but before long, she's wondering: Wait, who's the adult here, and who's the kid?
As Xie Qi'an grows up, he begins to merge with the person in her heart, and their relationship starts to take on a different flavor. Whenever Lin Anyu is with him, her heart inexplicably starts racing.
After reflecting on her feelings and going through a long back-and-forth, she finally works up the courage to confess to Xie Qi'an. He just smiles and replies, “Yeah. So, would you like me to be your boyfriend?”
Lin Anyu: “Huh? Big brother, why aren't you surprised at all?”
Xie Qi'an answers by placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Even though she was the one who made the first move, Lin Anyu feels as if she's fallen right into his trap.
P.S. The heroine retains her memories from her previous life, but the hero doesn't. From her perspective, it's a story about raising him; from his, it's an unrequited love.
