The Reborn, Frail Villain Has Given Up

Lu Chenjing is a hypocrite, righteous on the surface but ruthless underneath.

For money and success, he cast aside his artistic gifts and treated the traditional Chinese painting legacy his grandfather spoke of as worthless. To secure his position as heir, he sent his underage younger brother abroad and ignored him. To expand his own interests, he even betrayed a longtime friend.

Evil people get what they deserve. At the peak of his career, Lu Chenjing discovers he has terminal pancreatic cancer. Believing that if he has to die, everyone should die with him, he personally destroys the conglomerate he spent years building, sends his own father to prison, and makes sure to stir up one last mess in Yanbei's business world before he dies.

Having settled everything in life and beyond, Lu Chenjing never imagined that five years after his death, he would be reborn in the body of a pretty little kept man he once had.

The pretty little green tea had gone out in style after mixing medicine into his liquor, leaving him with a body already halfway to the grave.

Tossing and turning, Lu Chenjing decides to give up and waste the rest of his life.

But as he does, he realizes that the people who once wished him dead have all changed their minds.

Lu Chenjing: Your brother doesn't care whether you live or die.

Singer-songwriter younger brother: I think of Changfeng stretching ninety thousand li, beneath an azure sky so still, without a ripple.

Lu Chenjing: He never paid back the money he swindled from you, even when he died.

Former CEO friend: I should've given him more back then.

Lu Chenjing: Right, right, he was the one who ruined your dad. Congrats on getting your revenge.

Investor puppy: If I help him fulfill his final wish, will I be able to ask him to forgive me?

Lu Chenjing: He's got way more artistic flair than that guy.

Grandfather, a painter and calligrapher: My grandson's brushwork is full of springtime. How could some worthless nobody imitate it?

Lu Chenjing flips the table. Why don't I just leave?

Unfortunately, although he does leave, his belly gradually begins to grow.

Possessive, unhinged, big-dog top Fang Jieming X frail, carefree, not-so-clever bottom Lu Chenjing

Reader notes that may be helpful:

The bottom transmigrates into another body. The top and bottom are devoted to each other, 1v1, happy ending.

A groveling arc, but the groveling isn't all that intense.

The bottom is frail and sickly, a genius in his past life and a slacker in this one. Pregnancy.

No clear career storyline. A melodramatic fictional setting. The medical and painting details are all made up. A sweet-and-sour, mindless read.

Compliments will get you more updates. If you have criticism, please be gentle. I won't abandon or drop the story. "Bows!"

Theme: Care for the sick and vulnerable, and build a better life together.
