Reborn, I Watch Three Scumbag Exes Fight Over My Ashes

Ning Xi was sincere with everyone throughout his life. He gave his whole heart to his three ex-boyfriends, only to have his feelings betrayed time and time again.

At the orphanage, he doted on Luo Bei as if he were his own little brother. When they grew up and Luo Bei wanted to be his boyfriend, Ning Xi indulged him. But in the end, the very person who had sworn to spend his whole life with him abandoned him after finding his birth parents.

Luo Bei: "Brother Ning, you know a family like mine could never accept me being with a man. I want a family so badly. If you care about me, we should end things."

At university, Ning Xi met the campus heartthrob, Tang Lin. When this famously aloof and cold man showed him a tender side, Ning Xi thought he'd found the one. Little did he know that the tenderness wasn't meant for him. He was just a stand-in for the person Tang Lin had always loved. Poor Ning Xi was completely bewildered when Tang Lin's parents forced him to drop out. The person Tang Lin described in his love letters wasn't him at all.

Tang Lin: "Xiaoxi, Xiaocheng is straight. I don't want him to be affected. Take the blame for him. I'll make it up to you for everything you've suffered."

Thanks, but no thanks. Forced to end his studies, Ning Xi wandered around in a daze and was knocked down by a passing motorcycle. The rider took him to the hospital. When he removed his helmet, a striking head of red hair came into view. To Ning Xi's surprise, the person who'd hit him was the famous singer Xia Ran.

Xia Ran's fans used to say he was the sun, a flame, and that everyone around him basked in his light. When Ning Xi first met him, he thought so too. That's why he agreed when Xia Ran asked him to be his assistant, foolishly hoping to find salvation through him. Later, when Xia Ran took him for a ride by the sea, watched the meteor shower with him, gave him a ring, and confessed his love, Ning Xi almost believed he was finally going to be happy.

But Xia Ran only wanted to break into acting and was using Ning Xi for inspiration. When paparazzi exposed their relationship, Xia Ran immediately issued a statement denying it and branded Ning Xi a stalker fan. He let his fans besiege Ning Xi at home for months, keeping him from going outside and delaying his trip to the hospital, until his illness grew severe and he died.

As he lay dying, Ning Xi thought that if there was another life, being alone would be just fine. He would never believe in that damned thing called love again, and never wanted to see those people again. But to his surprise, he saw them again soon afterward. Only now, three years had passed, and the scum tops who'd treated him so cruelly while he was alive were fighting over his ashes.
