[Xu Rulin, when you wrote those words, did you feel the same way I do? Have you always felt the same way I do?]
I never said those words before, and I'll never get the chance to say them now.
[Will you still love me three years from now?
Will you still remember me ten years from now?
Will you think of me again a hundred years from now?
When I'm on my deathbed, will you still wish to see me one more time?]
What I feel for you has never been as simple as love.
But he opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Before being reborn
Xu Rulin: I have to keep myself under control.
After being reborn
Xu Rulin: Please keep yourself under control.
P.S. 1: Of course the ending is happy, but the journey won't be all sweetness. There will be some heartbreak, too. 2: The flashback section goes on and on. 3: This is an everyday-life story. There won't be any face-slapping, scheming white lotuses, or triumphant rise to the top. After being reborn, he even improves in secret, afraid anyone will notice.

Story blurb:
This is a story about Sheng Lin, who only wants to laze around and live off others, but is forced to become the leader of a dilapidated mountain stronghold. To improve the stronghold's material and spiritual life, he has to grovel every day to curry favor with a wealthy patron about to go to war for his country and its people, even reluctantly (and happily) offering his own charms.
In Sheng Lin's eyes, Shao Shishen = wealth beyond the nation + beauty enough to topple kingdoms = a perfect life. He's the ultimate guarantee of a happy future.
But I thought you were my best buddy. How could you want to sleep with me?!
In Shao Shishen's eyes, Sheng Lin = 99% shamelessness + 1% good luck. And that good luck, of course, was meeting a handsome man like him, who was both kind and rich.
But someone as perfect as me likes you, so how can you still not be gay?!
P.S. ☆ This story is set in a fictional world, so don't expect historical accuracy. ☆ The top has no golden finger. This is a growth story, and both leads will change considerably over time.
Theme:
I have forgotten how long this book has been gathering dust in my collection. The writing is very good. Sometimes a thought can turn around and it will never be possible again in this life. When Da Shao finally found the young prince whom he longed for, Lord Shengshan, who had just lost everything about his family, cried out in front of his beloved that the person in front of him was a thousand miles away, the relationship between them was expected. That day in the bookstore, the big baby came and said firmly How could there be such a gentle person in the world when I didn't know how to do it? Even if everyone hid it from him, his first ten years were like the peaceful world that his master had used all his efforts to weave for him. When he knew that the reality was cruel, he suddenly grew up and became able to protect others. Shen Shen had a good start. Even though their family's great achievements made the emperor jealous, his life was still very smooth. He was talented and capable and had never experienced setbacks. When he saw him leading troops to chase the enemy, he knew it was over. Everyone told him to be patient and listen. But for a young general who has never experienced setbacks, there is no one in the nine chapters. How could the incompetent Shao Shishen listen? He lost and lost the lives of half of his soldiers. It is hard to imagine that without the arrival of Sheng Lin, he would have opened up this bloody pain. It was his mistake. If it had not been for Lin Lin, he might not have been able to hold on. He could not afford the lives of 20,000 soldiers, but with Lin Lin, he would look forward. The characters in the author's works all have their own experiences and have fresh flesh and blood. After many years, I dedicate some of my comments to this article.
Is there a sweet side story missing?
It's okay, it's okay. The most important thing for me is to be thick-skinned. How can I chase my wife if I have a glass heart? There's no rush for anything else. You can take your time.
It's a bit too much to be reasonable... To Wuwei Mountain at this time, this Shao is considered an outsider... Being so arrogant doesn't deserve a beating...
Looks great, I hope I can see the hidden lines
It's so well written that I cried when I read it (′;;`)
What's going on, eyes? So miserable
I like big letters very much, they are very interesting
Take the richest man to farm, what a good name.
One thing I don't understand is that Wuwei Mountain has always been the home of the Sheng family, but the third master wanted to see Sheng but never came to Wuwei Mountain to look for him. Is it because the mountain was no longer related to him and he had no nerve to look for Sheng? Or is it because of something else?
