In his previous life, Xu Ziyu got together with his very best friend.
But after several years of dating, he realized that the other man still seemed to be straight, and had developed an ambiguous relationship with a beautiful, outstanding woman.
Xu Ziyu broke up with him without a moment's hesitation, only to get into a car accident soon after.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the age of twenty-two.
When he saw Han Qingyu again in this life, his ex-boyfriend's younger brother was wearing a crisp white shirt, just like the well-behaved boy he remembered.
But perhaps it was only his imagination. He couldn't help feeling that the other man's gaze was a little too intense.
By chance, Han Qingyu and Xu Ziyu went to a bar together.
The boy looked completely out of place in the clean, sophisticated setting, his eyes full of curiosity.
Xu Ziyu ordered a glass of brandy, raised the long-stemmed glass in his slender hand, and took a small sip.
Han Qingyu suddenly called out to him, his gaze clear. "Gege, can I have a sip? I've never tried alcohol before."
Xu Ziyu glanced at the boy, his cool eyes holding a hint of amusement. He coaxed him, "Just one sip. You're not in good health."
The boy smiled as he took the glass Xu Ziyu handed him, leaving his own lip print where Xu Ziyu had touched it. His eyes were inscrutable.
He'd originally wanted to avoid his former "friend," but now his younger brother was chasing after him instead.
In his previous life, Han Qingyu had been in love with Xu Ziyu, but never dared to say so.
Xu Ziyu was his older brother's lover, and they seemed like a perfect match to everyone else.
All Han Qingyu could do was suppress his feelings in secret and flee overseas.
It was only when he received an invitation to his brother's wedding that he found out Xu Ziyu had broken up with his brother long ago, and had even been dead for a long time...
"A tale of how I got reborn and stole my brother's boyfriend."
