Reborn: The Road North

Thanks to Shiyijun for making the cover! It's easy to give up and let yourself go, but hard to keep striving upward. Mo Bei chooses never to admit defeat. In his previous life, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital for coming out. By the time he left, he could never return to a normal life. When Mo Bei is reborn in the 1980s, he doesn't know if he can change his fate, but at the very least, he's living earnestly and doing his best! [Content warnings: 1. The protagonist is the bottom, though there may be a switch-up. 2. The top appears fairly late, so don't ship the wrong couple. 3. The bottom suffered from depression and attempted suicide in his past life. He hasn't fully recovered in this life, either, and his personality isn't particularly likable. His thoughts and actions may not align with your values. 4. There is a golden finger, but it's not much. No pocket dimension, cultivation, or supernatural abilities. There is coercion, twisted behavior, and emotional and physical abuse, but overall the story is still lighthearted and uplifting! 5. More warnings may be added later... 6. The author has limited energy. I can't promise daily updates, but I'll do my best to post a certain number of words each week. Fist pump!] If you can't open a newly updated chapter: (1) Leave a comment under the previous chapter, then refresh (no guarantee it'll work). (2) Enter the new chapter number in the address bar. For example, in www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=1665403&chapterid=26, change the final 26 to 27 to see the newly updated Chapter 27... maybe? (3) Change www to my in the address bar (I've heard this sometimes doesn't work, either). (4) Clear your browser cache. (5) Viciously poke JJ's little chrysanthemum with your mouse! Theme: Being reborn doesn't mean the hurt is gone, but it gives the protagonist a chance to work hard and change his fate.
