Reborn to Cling to My Husband’s Coattails

(Two male leads + rebirth + paternal, devoted top x protective, doting bottom)

Su Jianri has been reborn. He decides to pack his bags and head to his husband's side, where he'll work hard and support him.

In his previous life, Xu Hanshan was a rising star in the IT world. The media made a big deal of the hardships he endured while starting his business, claiming he ate instant noodles and lived in a basement.

When Su Jianri finally finds his husband, he wonders: Where are the hard times he was promised? His husband lives in an apartment that costs five figures a month and drives a Mercedes-Benz E300.

Good grief, was he the only fool here? If that counted as a hard life, how was it any different from crawling out of a slum?

And that's not all. In his previous life, his husband said he'd support him in whatever he did. This time, though, he pushes Su Jianri to improve himself, dragging him along and making sure he works hard.

Su Jianri can only pull all-nighters studying through his tears, regretting that he didn't wait until he was twenty-five to find his husband, just like in his previous life, so his husband could be an older single man everyone laughed at.

Years later, Su Jianri has made a name for himself. He nestles beside his husband under the osmanthus tree in their old family courtyard.

“Why does the media say your startup days were so hard? That you ate instant noodles and lived in a basement?”

“I rented a basement as a warehouse when I was starting out. I guess people often saw me going there and got the wrong idea.”

“What about the instant noodles?”

“That bowl of instant noodles cost 128 yuan.”

Su Jianri: ...He laughed at how poor he used to be.
