[Male-male romance, older top x younger bottom / both powerful / turning a straight man gay / half-raising him / paternal top / adored by everyone / reborn pursuit of his wife / sickeningly sweet romance / truly gut-wrenching angst] Gu Yecheng and Xu Fanxin were mortal enemies in their previous life, the kind who stayed enemies until death.
After being reborn, the last person Gu Yecheng wants to see is the lunatic Xu Fanxin. Unfortunately, Xu Fanxin is the son of Gu Yecheng’s beloved’s uncle. To repay Xu Fenglin’s immense kindness, Gu Yecheng has to see this lunatic every day. He brushes his teeth for him, washes his face, and takes him to school. Gu Yecheng is ready to sharpen his knife and go after the lunatic. Xu Fanxin bares his teeth, determined to fight him for another ten thousand rounds. First, he rallies his strength. Then he rallies it again. And a third time. Gu Yecheng gets so mad he throws away the knife. Good heavens! How could this sweet, adorable little darling have been like this before he went crazy? That’s not how the story went in his previous life!
Can’t mortal enemies just hate each other without complications?
I’m straight! You’re intersex, and you’re standing in front of me dressed in nothing but? Don’t you have any sense of danger?
Xu Fanxin: We’re both men, big brother. You’re overthinking this...
Gu Yecheng: A dissolute young man of rotten character uses his good looks to draw Xu Fanxin in, then plays out the tale of a fallen prince’s comeback. Previous life: I’m the emperor, and you want me to be your concubine. This life: I’m the emperor, and I’m not bad-looking. Why not give me a chance?
Xu Fanxin: He has a mysterious identity that puts him above the throne, and at last gets revenge for the blood feud he carries. He plans to die beautifully, but meeting a handsome top makes him even crazier. He takes what he wants by any means necessary. He’s both a lunatic and a pervert, and in the end, he still manages to die beautifully... (What will happen after his lover is reborn?)
Previous life: Be good and let me wash you clean, and I’ll protect your throne. This life: So what if you’ve been reborn? I’ll protect your throne, but stay away from me.
Gu Yecheng: Baby, I’ve washed up all nice and clean.
I can follow along, but I hope the pace speeds up to the point where the protagonist pursues his wife 🤦. Also, the recent chapters have made Liu Cheng feel like the main couple, which is a bit uncomfortable to read. I can tolerate it a little longer, or like I commented earlier, I could just switch the main couple.
It's a very good read, mainly featuring the male lead. The protagonist (uke) is very lovable, and the story is sweet even when there's some angst. The male lead's inner conflict takes over 90 chapters to resolve. In his past life, the uke didn't acknowledge his love, and the male lead thought he didn't. There are some minor angst.
So cute! (♥∀♥) Looking forward to the next chapter. The current development is so satisfyingly agonizing! 👌 After all this time, we've finally gotten to the point where the handsome guy is suffering! I want to rocket to the sweet moments between the couple right now! 👍👍👊👊👻
So good, so good, so incredibly good! How come this is such an underrated story? I absolutely love Fan Xin's character design. She's an innocent and adorable little devil in the beginning, and a vicious beauty later on, but she's still so cute! How do you blend cuteness and high intelligence/malice so perfectly? I'll definitely keep following her, and I hope the author doesn't stop updating!
The writing style is uniquely excellent, the plot is ingeniously arranged, and the tension between the young couple is incredibly strong. This is the first time I've followed a novel to its very end. Undeniably, the novel has its share of clichés, melodramatic moments, and heartbreaking plot twists, but in the end, the good guys all have happy endings, the bad guys get their just desserts, and…
I hope that Xing Liu doesn't pull any bad moves later. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about it. I just hope for a sweet life together.
It's great! Author, keep up the good work, please don't stop writing!
I absolutely love it! It gets better and better as it goes on, and I especially love the character of Fanxin! 😘😘😘
It's really good, the author is super nice.
So beautiful! So beautiful!
