   This is a double rebirth story with a happy ending. It's not entirely angsty; there's a little angst at the beginning, and the writing is average, but it's suitable for those who enjoy stories of characters chasing after their ex-partners. In his previous life, the protagonist (the bottom) was mentally challenged. After being reborn, he's under the protection of the top, and their relationship faces no major obstacles.
