[The neighboring novel, "Everyone Is Reborn Except the Sickly, Hated One," is now updating!]
Yu Qiuliang had been sickly since childhood, and the people around him had doted on him. He thought he was the happiest person in the world.
Until one day, his father brought home a little boy. His father said the boy was his younger brother.
On the first day his brother came home, Yu Qiuliang lost his bedroom.
On the second day, his favorite dish disappeared from the dinner table.
On the third day...
His brother took everything from him, including his friends.
The boy Yu Qiuliang had once saved from bullies said, "Yu Qiuliang, he's your brother. Why did you push him down the stairs?"
The gifted student he'd shared a close bond with said, "Yu Qiuliang, I'm so disappointed in you. Why did you steal your brother's design?"
Even the gentle and refined student council president turned cold toward him. "Yu Qiuliang, you disgust me."
Their words struck Yu Qiuliang's heart like countless tiny needles, leaving him gasping with pain.
He hadn't done anything.
Yu Qiuliang tried to explain. He held the evidence out to them, but they wouldn't even look at it.
Yu Qiuliang was tired. He quietly distanced himself from the friends he'd once had. They could each go their own way from now on. That was fine.
But only when someone pushed him into the freezing lake did Yu Qiuliang realize that the "friends" who had once promised to protect and cherish him for life wanted him dead.
Yu Qiuliang smiled.
They wanted him dead? Fine. Then they could all die together.

In 2035, the Angus cruise ship sank. No one survived.
When he opened his eyes again, Yu Qiuliang was back a year earlier, just after his younger brother had returned. The grudges of his past life were gone. In this life, all Yu Qiuliang wanted was to keep his distance from them. Unexpectedly, this time, when he didn't approach them, they clung to him like burrs.
Gradually, Yu Qiuliang realized that they seemed to have been reborn too.
Shen Wenxu had someone he secretly loved.
The other person was like a star in the sky, bright and dazzling. A crowd always surrounded him, and Shen Wenxu could never find a way in.
To make the other person notice him, Shen Wenxu tried every trick he could think of.
The good news: the other person noticed him.
The bad news: the other person thought he was an archenemy.
One day, drunk, the man leaned on his back and said something that plunged Shen Wenxu into an icy abyss:
"Shen Wenxu, I hate you."
Drunk words were sober thoughts, Shen Wenxu figured. Maybe he shouldn't keep getting in the way.
So Shen Wenxu went abroad.
But barely two years later, he heard that the man had died. When Shen Wenxu learned what the man had gone through back home, he regretted leaving. He shouldn't have gone.
Fortunately, fate gave him another chance. He returned to a year earlier.
The first thing he did after being reborn was book a flight home.
Yu Qiuliang, this time, you won't be able to make me leave.
Important notes: 1. Everyone except the gong gets a face-slapping comeuppance. The gong and shou are faithful to each other in body and heart, with a strong mutual attraction.
2. The story opens with the rebirth. Everyone is reborn at different times, with the gong and shou returning first.
3. The side characters' attempts to make amends all fail. The main story follows a sweet romance between the couple, their salvation of each other, and the face-slapping of scum.

"Everyone Is Reborn Except the Sickly, Hated One"
Jin Ciyu is the current CEO of the Jin Group, but also the least favored second son of the Jin family.
His father thinks he has no talent for business and can't handle important responsibilities. His eldest brother despises his vulgar, profit-driven nature. His youngest brother hates how strict and cold he is.
Until one day
His usually stern father brought bird's nest soup to his study. "There'll always be more work. Get some rest."
His eldest brother, who hated hearing him talk business, offered to share his project experience. "I'm happy I can help you."
His youngest brother, who used to keep a hundred meters away, put a ruler in his hand. "Big Brother, if there's anything I've done that you're unhappy with, just hit me! Hit me hard!"
Jin Ciyu: "...?"
It was as if his family had been possessed.
Even his arranged-marriage partner, who had run away from their wedding, reached out to him. "I regret it. Let's meet."
And so,
In the most luxurious high-end restaurant in Jingcheng, a young man walked up to Jin Ciyu with a bouquet as music played. "I like you. Please give me a chance to pursue you."
As the young man looked at him expectantly, a man in a perfectly tailored suit slowly came to Jin Ciyu's side. His long-fingered hand rested on Jin Ciyu's shoulder, slid down, and finally
The man took Jin Ciyu's hand and laced their fingers together.
"Let me introduce you. This is your sister-in-law."
Fu Chian is the eldest son of the Fu family and a workaholic. He thought love wasn't in the cards for him, until he met a young man at the hospital.
He fell in love at first sight.
Unfortunately, the young man was already married.
Even worse, he was dying.
For selfish reasons, Fu Chian pretended to be a member of the medical staff so he could stay by the young man's side, but could do nothing as he watched the young man inch toward death.
Only after the young man died did Fu Chian learn his name: Jin Ciyu.
His younger brother's spouse, in name only.
Fortunately, he was reborn.
After returning to the past, Fu Chian found Jin Ciyu and offered him everything he owned.
"Would you consider a different arranged-marriage partner? I'm more sincere than he is."
