The Frail Young Master Refuses to Be Reborn

[Coming Soon] Method Acting and Experiential Acting [Entertainment Industry]

Blurb:

Li Wei, the most pampered young master in Jinbei, died.

He died the day after the killer who had murdered his parents was sentenced.

With everything finally settled, Li Wei closed his eyes peacefully, and then...

He came back to life.

Li Wei: Hello? What's going on? Who gave me permission to be reborn???

Being reborn was bad enough, but he had returned to the time when both his parents were dead, he'd been swindled into bankruptcy, and he was living on the streets.

Li Wei stared at the countdown flashing before him. Beside it was a line of helpful text: [Find Chen Yujin within ten minutes to exchange for more survival time, or your life will soon reach zero.]

Li Wei laughed. If he had to find Chen Yujin, he might as well just wait to die.

-

Li Wei had known Chen Yujin since he was seven. His parents had carefully chosen him to be Li Wei's study companion, housekeeper, male nanny, and punching bag.

He was responsible for everything related to the young master, including warming the young master's feet in bed.

Li Wei hated that little adult who was always so stern that his teeth ached.

But Chen Yujin had one weakness: he liked cats.

And as it happened, Li Wei could turn into a cat.

Seeing Chen Yujin act cold toward him during the day, then use a cutesy voice with the cat at night, only made Li Wei angrier.

So he was as mean as he could be, constantly ordering Chen Yujin around and making his life difficult.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Yujin was driven away by him.

Later, when his family went bankrupt and both his parents died, Li Wei kept waiting for Chen Yujin to suddenly show up and kick him while he was down, just like everyone else.

Instead, all he heard was news that the long-lost young master of the Chen family in the capital had finally been found.

In utter despair, Li Wei died, but then he came back to life.

Reborn, he had lost his special ability to turn into a cat, leaving him with nothing but a frail body that made him cough three times for every step.

Staring at the flashing countdown, Li Wei lay on a park bench, gave up completely, and quietly closed his eyes to wait for death.

"3" "2" "1"

[!!! Congratulations! Your remaining survival time has increased by five minutes.]

Li Wei: ?

He opened his eyes and met the gaze of a man whose face was filled with sorrow. Before him, [Survival time +5 +5] flashed wildly.

Chen Yujin's eyes were bloodshot. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Don't even think about running away."

This was really bad. Li Wei stared at him in terror, but Chen Yujin only pulled a crumpled marriage contract from his robes.

"The Li and Chen families arranged this marriage thirty years ago. Young Master, I've come to take you home so we can get married."

Good news: Chen Yujin was just a servant in the Chen family.

Bad news: It was said that the eldest young master of the Chen family had suffered inhuman abuse while missing. He was violent and unpredictable.

I@#￥%...&*

How could he not run? Li Wei packed his bags in the middle of the night.

He didn't want to live, but he hadn't wanted to die in such an awful way, either!

-

Looking at the glittering gold chain around his wrist, Li Wei's escape plan was declared a failure, and he fell into utter despair.

On their wedding night, Li Wei wore a pristine white suit, his wrists firmly cuffed to the bed as he nervously awaited the eldest young master Chen's arrival.

Then Chen Yujin walked in.

Li Wei: Great, Chen Yujin has finally had a change of heart and is here to help him escape the wedding!

Chen Yujin smirked. "Actually, I'm here to get revenge on you."

Li Wei trembled. "My husband will be here any minute!"

Husband? Chen Yujin's smile deepened. "Sorry, but I'm your husband, too."

After three days of refusing to eat, Li Wei was so furious that his vision went black and he fainted on the spot.

The young master of the past had fallen into ordinary life, while the servant he'd once ordered around had become the true young master.

Preparing himself for a hopeless married life, Li Wei braced for the worst.

But the expected revenge never came. Instead, his former male nanny was promoted overnight and became his legal husband.

Watching as the man kicked his feet into his arms, Li Wei's mouth twitched. In return, the man gave him a smug look.

"Well? Didn't I say no one could take care of you as thoroughly as I can?"

Li Wei stared blankly at the red marriage certificate in his hands.

Why did this feel a little off?

Theme: Don't let waiting turn into regret.
