[Over-the-top angst, both leads reborn. Leave your brains at the door ^O^]
This story is Shen Er Ye of the Shen family, Shen Dan's “regret cure,” and a tailor-made honey trap for Young Master Liang.
If you ask who Liang Leyou hates most in the capital, the answer is Shen Dan.
In everyone's eyes, Shen Dan is a refined gentleman, the second master of the capital's most powerful family and the most likely heir to its leadership.
But to Liang Leyou, Shen Dan is worldly, slick, and hypocritical. He schemes for power and will even turn on his own brothers to get it. He's a thoroughly despicable man with the nastiest tricks imaginable.
They'd known each other for two years. Liang Leyou had lost count of how often he'd insulted Shen Dan behind his back or to his face, or tripped him up just to see him make a fool of himself. Shen Dan simply watched, never talking back or retaliating.
But people who hurt others end up hurting themselves. After all his plotting, Liang Leyou accidentally got himself killed, and Heaven claimed his life at the age of twenty-seven. Luckily, “Heaven had other plans.” Liang Leyou, who had always been favored when it came to life and death, was given a chance to live again.
But one thing baffled him. When he returned to the age of twenty, why was Shen Dan, who used to be the same age as him, now five years older?!! It made him feel like he was at a serious disadvantage!
Shen Dan: “Then I'll humor you. I can even call you big brother.”
Liang Leyou: Humor me? He's provoking me.
Shen Dan: “The power's out at my place. Could I stay at your house for the night?”
Liang Leyou: Do we have the kind of relationship where you can stay over? How is that not a provocation?
Shen Dan: “I heard your courses are difficult this semester. I can tutor you.”
Liang Leyou: He's provoking me again!!
