Former top assassin turned aloof, world-weary, sickly bottom & older, fatherly top who calmly goes mad after losing his beloved
The thing Fu Song regretted most in this life was choosing to stand by and do nothing when Yun Shen, abandoned by his family, first asked him for help.
He had thought the other man was just an unremarkable young heir among the many members of prominent families,
and that he was nothing more than a passing stranger to him.
But afterward, the boy's earnest yet sharp expression as he begged for help began appearing in his dreams again and again.
Fu Song started thinking that if he ever met Lu Yunshen again, he would agree to take him home.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
At their second meeting, Yun Shen had failed his mission and been abandoned in a warehouse. Fu Song finally got to bring his beloved home.
But by then, Yun Shen's body was already riddled with injuries. The prolonged pressure and illness had caused countless complications to follow one after another.
All kinds of medical resources were poured into him as if money were no object.
In the end, Fu Song could only watch helplessly as the other man's body grew weaker by the day.
During the last few days of his life, Yun Shen could only lie in a hospital bed, relying on the pain pump beside him to numb his nerves continuously.
“Fu Song.” Even saying a single word was a struggle for the person in the hospital bed.
Fu Song bowed his head, bringing his ear close to the other man's face in an almost reverent posture. “I'm here. What is it?”
“Come find me earlier in your next life.”
Yun Shen parted his lips. He seemed to have more to say, but when the words reached his mouth, all that remained was a sigh:
“Let me go first in this life, all right?”

No one knew what had happened to the head of the Fu family.
Overnight, several prominent family businesses in Jiang City were targeted in a series of retaliatory attacks, and numerous heirs disappeared from the city for good.
Everyone said Fu Song had gone mad. He was so deranged that he would not even spare his own family. The city's elite were thrown into a panic, afraid that they might offend him by accident.
But before long, news of Fu Song's death spread among Jiang City's upper class.
Fu Song died. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the day after Yun Shen was thrown out of his home and asked him for help.

The top is reborn, salvation, short story
A very high level of sickness and frailty: the bottom is deathly sick and frail in both his past and present lives
