Reborn, I Fall for My Ex-Boyfriend's Younger Brother

【Two male leads + reborn + college campus + mutual devotion + substitute trope】 Pure-hearted, loyal, cunning pursuer (He Ming) & tragic, resilient receiver who is reborn (Yu Ke) (Not a first-and-only pairing, so please don’t read if that bothers you) Yu Ke was reborn, waking up in front of his ex-boyfriend and sugar daddy. In his previous life, Yu Ke knew He Lin liked men, so he pursued him with an ulterior motive, willingly becoming his substitute. But as their transactional relationship went on, he gradually fell for He Lin and ended up truly loving him. For He Lin, he got into fights, dropped out of school... He gave up everything. He thought that if he gave enough, he would be rewarded. But a substitute was still just a substitute. When He Lin’s ideal, the one he had always longed for, returned to the country, he discarded Yu Ke without hesitation. In the end, he even framed him for that man’s sake, making him the target of everyone’s scorn. Penniless and utterly desperate, Yu Ke curled up in his rented room. After one blow after another, he ended his miserable life with a bottle of pesticide. Reborn, Yu Ke came to his senses and learned that he was merely the villainous male supporting character in a bestselling novel on a certain literary site. His only purpose was to highlight the protagonists’ love and fan the flames of their romance. He Lin, Qiao An... A scumbag falling for a pure-hearted beauty: a match made in heaven. In this life, he wanted nothing. He just wanted to live in peace. If he could, he also wanted to spend the rest of his life with the one person in the world who had ever truly cared for him. But... why did his secret admirer look so familiar? It seemed to be his ex-boyfriend’s younger brother. In a sentence: Don’t dwell on the past; the future can still be pursued.
