Back to the Years When My Husband and I Were Still Mortal Enemies

An elegant, proud, pampered darling bottom X an initially cold, eventually devoted, utterly doting husband top

Shu Wei and Ying Zexu: one is the youngest son of a powerful political family, the other the eldest son of a prominent business dynasty.

They used to be bitter rivals, but after graduation, a twist of fate brought them together. Years of enmity turned into marriage. Just when their hard times had given way to happiness and they seemed to have found their happily-ever-after...

In the year their relationship was at its best, the bottom is reborn back to the year they couldn't stand each other.

1. Shu Wei's opinion of Ying Zexu: A repressed nouveau riche who's all bark and no bite.

Ying Zexu's opinion of Shu Wei: A narcissistic pretty face with a combative personality, a peacock personality, and plenty of other complicated traits.

Their friends' opinion of them: They act like normal people when they're apart, but the moment they meet, they're sworn enemies who go straight for each other's ingrown toenails.

2. Yet these two pure-hate rivals, who fought from their school days all the way through graduation, got married not long after finishing school...?

Their friends, who had witnessed all those years of them butting heads, sat at the same table and thought the wedding banquet tasted worse than fermented shit.

3. In their fifth year of marriage, just as their relationship was at its most passionate, Shu Wei was in a ridiculous car accident, was just as ridiculously reborn, and returned to the years when he and his husband were at the height of their rivalry.

4. Eighteen-year-old Ying Zexu has just had an argument with Shu Wei. He's about to pin him against the wall and squeeze his throat hard...

Then he sees that Shu Wei's eyes are wet!

Shu Wei: "It's been so many years since you last dared lay a finger on me! And now, now you actually dare to...!"

Ying Zexu: ?

Ying Zexu: "Haven't you slapped me plenty of times? Why are you acting all delicate now?"

Shu Wei doesn't care. Shu Wei cries. During their five years of marriage, Ying Zexu was so guilty whenever he raised his voice at him that he'd sit up in the middle of the night and slap himself across the face. How can he treat him like this again now?

For some inexplicable reason, seeing Shu Wei's trembling lashes, Ying Zexu finds himself unable to lay a hand on him for once.

Ying Zexu: "What the hell, Shu Wei? What exactly are you trying to do? Why did you suddenly turn into this?"

Shu Wei: "You said that from now on, the only time you'd make me cry would be in bed!"

Shu Wei: "And you haven't called me by my full name in years!"

Ying Zexu: "? If I don't call you by your full name, should I call you a useless good-for-nothing?"

Shu Wei: "You only like calling me 'wife.'"

Ying Zexu: "..."

Ying Zexu: "Stop dreaming."
