Reborn: Back to the Year My Love Turned Seventeen

[Patient, obsessive top VS devoted, clever bottom]

Originally titled "Mad Dog"

Blurb:

A refined father, a gentle mother, a kind grandmother, a friendly stepbrother...

When all the ugliness was hidden away in the shadows, Jiang Du became the mad dog everyone loved to hate.

But in Bai Xin's eyes, Jiang Du was the most beautiful flower in the world.

Then Jiang Du died, just before his birthday.

In that instant, Bai Xin felt as if the whole world had gone empty.

When he opened his eyes again, Bai Xin had returned to the year Jiang Du was 17, before the two of them had ever met.

Bai Xin, eyes red, told him he loved him and pursued him relentlessly.

But Jiang Du looked at him with disgust. "What the hell is wrong with you? Stay away from me."

Bai Xin thought: It's fine. He'll love me eventually. If a month isn't enough, then a year. If a year isn't enough, then ten years. He'll love me someday.

He's all I have in this world.

Only children care about who's good and who's bad. Adults just weigh the pros and cons.

P.S. 1. A rebirth story, and a short one.

2. No real-life inspiration, completely made up. The writing is terrible and the morals are skewed, so don't overanalyze it.

Theme: You are not the murderer. You never were!
