Back to When My Gloomy Late Husband Was Poor

Delicate little ray of sunshine x green-tea male ghost

Everyone who knew Lin Woyu envied him. He'd grown up in a wealthy family, cherished like a treasure. Though his family later fell on hard times, it wasn't long before he married a powerful new tycoon in the tech industry and was spoiled rotten, always getting whatever he wanted.

You could say he'd never known hardship.

But only Lin Woyu knew what it was really like. His husband, Cheng Mu, was intensely controlling.

He demanded that Lin Woyu come home by a set time every day and never speak to another man for more than five sentences. If he caught Lin Woyu sneaking out for fun, he'd bring him home within half an hour and punish him severely.

The punishment meant pinning him down on the bed...

They barely talked, and their sex life was dull. Lin Woyu was delicate and often couldn't take it, but all he did was bite his lip and endure, tears in his eyes.

Cheng Mu had paid off his family's enormous debts. It was only right that Lin Woyu put up with this.

Lin Woyu had always thought there was no love between them. Then, in a car accident, Cheng Mu shielded him with his own body, holding him tight and murmuring his childhood nickname over and over, telling him not to be afraid.

Lin Woyu suffered only minor injuries. Cheng Mu didn't survive.

Lin Woyu inherited enough money to last several lifetimes. No one would ever be able to control him again.

But he couldn't bring himself to be happy.

As he sorted through his late husband's belongings, Lin Woyu discovered a locked room in the house filled with things related to him. They spanned ten years, and the oldest was a candid photo of him in his school uniform.

When Lin Woyu opened his eyes again, he was back at eighteen, surrounded by admirers and still the young master of the Lin family.

This time, he noticed Cheng Mu standing quietly in the distance.

The industry tycoon who would own a mansion and drive luxury cars ten years later was now wearing a frumpy old T-shirt and sneakers worn nearly to pieces.

His gaze was deep and heavy, with a hint of the gloom he'd carry ten years from now.

Their eyes met. Lin Woyu felt something he couldn't quite name. He pushed through the wall of people around him and walked up to Cheng Mu. "Happy graduation! Want to come to my place for a party?"

Cheng Mu froze. He stared at Lin Woyu for a long moment, then slowly nodded, looking dazed. "Sure."

Lin Woyu smiled to himself. I've lived ten years longer than you. This time, you won't get to boss me around like I'm your son.

Much later, pinned down on the bed, Lin Woyu realized that living ten years longer hadn't helped at all!

Furious, he kicked Cheng Mu in the chest and told him to get away.

The man, worth hundreds of millions and impeccably groomed, caught his slender ankle and kissed the top of his foot. His voice was low and lovestruck. "Jinjin, you've been naughty again today."
