Jian Anyan vs. Lin Mingzhao Devoted puppy-like top x cool, intellectual bottom
After his parents die under mysterious circumstances, Jian Anyan divorces his wife, only for her to be kidnapped and killed anyway. Then, after one blow after another, even the career he valued most ends in bankruptcy and liquidation.
Unable to bear the shock of having nothing left, Jian Anyan decides to kill himself for love. After his suicide, an old Taoist priest becomes his master and tells him that someone used occult techniques to scheme against him.
To get justice, he is reborn and painstakingly follows the clues to uncover the mastermind. Of course, most importantly, those who love their wives attract wealth from every direction. Reborn, he has to win his wife back, because having a wife means getting rich.
But his wife tells him, “A younger brother-in-law pursuing his sister-in-law goes against the natural order.”
Jian Anyan: “...”
Is it my fault I was reborn in my cousin's body?
[Excerpt One]
Lin Mingzhao is deeply troubled by the fact that his latest suitor is his ex-husband's cousin. He repeatedly tries to talk him out of it. “You're young now. You might just be caught up in the novelty, not genuinely in love with me.”
You're just trying to carry on your brother's legacy.
Who knew Jian Anyan would be so shameless? He says bluntly, “I'll still love you when I'm old.”
“...”
[Excerpt Two]
Jian Anyan wipes the tears from Lin Mingzhao's face and sighs. “The road through the underworld isn't very safe, but I suppose you already know why you can't love me.”
“It's my thread of love. It went to the underworld.”
Jian Anyan nods. “I've found it for you now. So, on the day we live again, will you kiss me amid the blazing underworld flames?”
As soon as Jian Anyan finishes speaking, warm lips meet his. It is the passion of their reunited thread of love, and the love of two people who have found each other again after losing one another.
[Excerpt Three]
On his way to work, President Jian saves a monkey on a whim, only for it to yank off his pants. Back in the bedroom, he lets out a squawk like a rooster. “Aaaah! Honey, the whole country has seen the color of my underwear! I'm ruined!”
Lin Mingzhao, wearing an apron as he fries fish in the kitchen, calmly replies, “It's fine. I washed those underwear for you.”
“Aw, honey, you're the best.” Big Puppy Jian snuggles up to him.
The international convention is one-on-one, the local convention is that both leads are each other's only one, and the story is about mending a broken relationship.
