Song Linggui worked himself to the bone for the company, only for his father to treat him like a pawn and send him to marry his sworn enemy.
Before his rival could torment him, illness got the better of him.
When he opened his eyes, he had been reborn, inexplicably turned into a child, and become the enemy's long-lost son...
As Mr. Xi's "only son," he had the influential and powerful Xi Mingchen all to himself. He didn't have to work, could sleep in as late as he liked, and the moment he frowned, a dozen people would rush to ask if he was all right.
In his previous life, Xi Mingchen had ignored him after they married. This time, he pretended to be mute.
That way, the taciturn man could awkwardly talk to himself, and Song Linggui wouldn't have to suffer the indignity of calling him Dad.
His busy father, Mr. Xi, would even drop everything to come home and look after him when he was sick, soothing him to sleep. Life was so comfortable that he almost wanted to be his son forever.
Until one day,
he spotted a file called "Mango's Fattening Diary" in his "father's" hidden folder.
The imported grapes in his mouth suddenly lost their sweetness.
Mango was his childhood nickname, and only two people in the world knew it: his grandmother, who had died when he was eight, and...
Xi Mingchen, from his previous life.
-
Before being reborn, Song Linggui and Xi Mingchen had fought each other tooth and nail. In the end, his father's favoritism cost him the company, which went to his illegitimate younger brother.
In this life, he could use his status as the young master of the Xi family to order around the crowd of people eager to curry favor with him. The Song family soon fell apart.
His biological father regretted everything and offered a fortune to find him. His younger brother was thrown out of the family and left homeless. The Xi family bought the company and put it in Song Linggui's name...
Song Linggui was very satisfied to have avenged himself, except for one thing
"I'm yours too. When can you put my name on your household register?"
He'd coaxed him into being his son, and now he wanted them on the same household register!
In his dreams!
"Sorry, Dad, we can't do something inappropriate."
[Petty, proud, sharp-tongued bottom x Powerful, doting top]
1. Both leads are physically and emotionally devoted to each other. The top lied to the bottom about the son.
2. Both are reborn. One-on-one romance, older top, happy ending.
3. The bottom won't forgive anyone who hurt him in his previous life.
4. The characters aren't perfect, the plot is absurd, and the writing has run away from home... You can criticize me, but don't criticize the leads.
