After Saving the Paranoid Big Shot

One-line summary: I went back in time after saving the person I was supposed to marry. Jian Yining's arranged marriage partner was a once-in-a-century business genius. He was tall, handsome, composed, and wealthy. But from rumors, Jian Yining had learned that his future spouse had endured a hard childhood and had a childhood friend he could never forget, the one who got away. On the way to call off the engagement, Jian Yining got into an accident and found himself in the body of a frail boy fifteen years in the past. He discovered that the quiet, withdrawn, strange poor student in his class was his future marriage partner, Jin Sui Nian. The business tycoon who would one day wield immense power was now living on the streets, hungry, cold, and ostracized at every turn. His school uniform had been washed until it faded, yet he stood straight as a pine tree, his eyes filled with a resolve and depth far beyond his years. Jian Yining's heart softened. He drew close to him, gave him warmth, and helped Jin Sui Nian through the hardest years of his life. But before Jian Yining could enjoy the fruits of his labor, he suddenly died and went back to his own time. After waking up, Jian Yining read every piece of news he could find about Jin Sui Nian. Over the past ten years, Jin Sui Nian had surged ahead, rapidly becoming a business magnate who commanded respect on all sides and building his own commercial empire. Ruthless, decisive, and accomplished at a young age: these were the words that defined Jin Sui Nian. Looking at the mature, composed Jin Sui Nian, Jian Yining's eyes grew hot, and tears of joy rolled down his cheeks. But... after searching through every last piece of information, he couldn't find a single mention of himself. There was a taboo in the business world, one everyone knew about but no one dared mention. It was someone who had been dead for ten years, yet the mere mention of his name could drive Jin Sui Nian completely mad. Pairing: Obsessive genius x little ray of sunshine Reading guide: 1. Sweet and angsty, with just a little angst for flavor. 2. Go mad for pure love, go wild for pure love, and keep charging into the wall for pure love. 3. I'll add more if I think of anything. -----Advance Preview: After Surviving My Tribulation, I Changed My Mind----- My master is the most powerful cultivator under the heavens, half a step away from becoming a god, and I am his only disciple. My master is very strict with me. He said cultivators must sever all worldly attachments, so I kowtowed to my parents and bade them farewell, never to see them again in this life. He said cultivators must temper their bodies and cleanse their marrow. The cold spring water cut like knives and burned like fire, but I soaked in it day and night, never missing a day since joining the sect. He said cultivators must care for the whole world. I nodded, hugging my sword, and said I would grow up to be a great hero just like him! Then one day, my master suddenly brought back a junior disciple. My junior was sentimental and deeply attached to his mortal parents. Even after several years in the mountains, letters from home arrived every month without fail. My junior was frail and often ill. My master never let him go near the cold spring, and whenever he fell sick, my master fussed over him and cared for him with utmost attention. Fine clothes, divine weapons, magical treasures... My master gave my junior anything he asked for. I thought my master was playing favorites, so I went to ask him why. My master merely replied, "You two are different." Later, a cloud of black mist in the forbidden grounds told me: Your master has never regarded you as his disciple. From beginning to end, you were only a pawn for him to use. I didn't believe it, and swallowed the black mist whole. Not long after, the Three Realms were thrown into turmoil and evil spirits ran rampant. I recognized them as the black mist from the forbidden grounds. My master said I was the purest and kindest being in all creation, and the only one who could truly destroy them. He had raised me for all those years for this very moment. But my master had only told me half the truth. He didn't tell me that destroying the black mist would cost me my soul and my life. As my body exploded and my soul scattered, my final glimpse was of my master shielding my junior disciple behind him, his eyes wide with grief and rage. Only then did I finally understand that the black mist had been telling the truth. Then I woke up. It turned out I wasn't mortal. I was the last dragon in all creation. Now my tribulation was over, I had ascended to godhood, and the immortals offered me their worship. Mortals and immortals belong to separate worlds; the past was like smoke. I could regard everything that happened before as nothing but a painful dream. At last, I had woken from that dream. Yet on the day I was granted my divine title, I slowly raised my head. To my surprise, the person seated at the head of the divine throne suddenly smashed the Imperial Seal in his hand, his eyes bloodshot. Only later did I learn that after I died, he searched the world for forbidden arts and dark sorcery, all in the hope of bringing me back. Theme: Be brave enough to pursue yourself and true love
