[New chapters daily! If there’s no update, I’ll post a notice and make up for it later~ Thanks for all your support, sending love~]

In his previous life, Xue Min’s senior fellow apprentice died in his place amid a rebel army.

Xue Min had used him, flirted with him, and deliberately played weak to win all his loyalty, relying on his protection to pave the way for revenge.

In the end, he hadn’t even gathered up the man’s bones.

Later, Xue Min got his revenge and seemed to live out the rest of his life in peace.

But his life lasted only thirty years.

His eyes closed, then opened again.

Reborn at nineteen, Xue Min thought he was dreaming. He wandered about like a ghost, only to hear his family discussing how to drive him out and take his status and property.

Without changing expression, Xue Min set the Xue family home ablaze, burning everyone and everything to ashes.

It was just a dream, after all. He might as well let those bastards die quickly.

Xue Min sat indifferently in the snow, watching the fire paint half the sky red.

Then someone walked up to him.

The newcomer’s back was ramrod straight and his steps steady. Snow settled on his shoulders, but he didn’t brush it away.

His senior fellow apprentice held out a hand. His voice was hoarse and a little halting. “C-come with me.”

The exact same words as in his previous life.

Xue Min raised his damp lashes and stared at that stern, expressionless face. Then he suddenly smiled.

“Wei Shuo.”

“You finally came to see me in my dream?”

After being reborn, Xue Min learned his lesson and decided that in this life he would only have a purely brotherly relationship with Wei Shuo.

Not long afterward, Wei Shuo was ambushed and poisoned with an aphrodisiac.

Having lived through a lifetime already, Xue Min knew this was going to happen, but he didn’t stop it.

After all, everything should be allowed to take its natural course.

Then, on the bed, Xue Min held Wei Shuo and asked with feigned innocence, “Senior, is this the spot?”

Wei Shuo thought there was something very off about Xue Min.

Xue Min used to never even call him senior, but now he was constantly calling him “Senior” this and “Senior” that~

He even called him that in bed.

It forced Wei Shuo, who hated talking because of his stutter, to say a lot of things.

Once again, Xue Min teased Wei Shuo until he got angry, making his stutter even worse. Frustrated, Wei Shuo launched into a flurry of hand signs.

Xue Min raised an eyebrow and smiled at him. “Use your words. I can’t understand your hand gestures.”

Wei Shuo grabbed Xue Min by the chin and leaned in, his face expressionless as he spat out two words: “F-fuck you.”

Xue Min’s smile grew even more brazen. “Senior, you can’t even say two words smoothly?”

Wei Shuo’s eyes darkened, and he silenced Xue Min’s infuriating mouth with his own.

A dark, scheming beauty (Xue Min) x a stuttering, human-weapon puppy (Wei Shuo)

A forbidden office romance, rekindling an old flame, and love after heartbreak~

P.S.:

1. They are both reborn, and it’s a switch pairing. The plot serves the romance.

2. Xue Min is reborn first, and Wei Shuo later. Wei Shuo doesn’t stutter all the time. He can speak normally when calm, but when Xue Min makes him angry, it gets much harder.

3. Xue Min is the junior fellow apprentice but older, while Wei Shuo is the senior fellow apprentice but younger. They’re a year apart~

4. After being reborn, the main focus is on healing their relationship, fighting monsters, leveling up, and falling in love.
