After Being Reborn, I Fight My Past Self for His Wife

In her previous life, Shen Qingyao's husband died young, her maternal family fell into ruin, and she was unable to speak. Fortunately, she had a capable younger brother-in-law, Chen Zhuo. After ascending the throne, he treated his widowed sister-in-law with kindness at every turn.

Before she died of illness, she saw Chen Zhuo's red-rimmed eyes and his careful, reluctant movements.

Shen Qingyao thought, What a kindhearted boy.

It's only his imperial sister-in-law dying. There's no need to be so sad.

The greatest regret of Chen Zhuo's life was that he hadn't met Shen Qingyao sooner, so she could have lived a happier, more carefree life.

Who could have guessed that he would open his eyes again and find himself reborn at seventeen, sharing a body with his past self, a young man whose flaws stank to high heaven and whose hostility was more terrifying than a ghost's?

Before Chen Zhuo could figure out how to change the tragedy that had befallen Shen Qingyao in his previous life, she found him ahead of time and offered to take him away from the labor camp.

Thirty-seven-year-old Chen Zhuo: Say yes!!!

But seventeen-year-old Chen Zhuo only raised an eyebrow and gave her a wicked smile. “Little young lady, you shouldn't be in a place like this.”

Chen Zhuo caught the fleeting disappointment in Shen Qingyao's eyes, immediately seized control of their shared body, and punched himself hard in the face

“You little punk! I wouldn't dare say a harsh word to her, so who the hell gave you the nerve to bully her?”

Shen Qingyao thought Chen Zhuo was different from the man in her previous life because he had been forced to survive by disguising himself as cold and ruthless.

Until one late night, the young man gripped her waist and whispered in her ear, “You turned me into a good boy, so you have to take responsibility.”

The voice in Chen Zhuo's mind roared again: “Who taught you to confess like that? Do it over! Don't make me slap you.”

The younger Chen Zhuo ignored it and held the person in his arms even tighter. “I'll be good and listen to you... Don't leave me behind.”

A quick guide:

1. One-on-one romance, male lead has no prior sexual experience, happy ending. After being reborn, the female lead is three years older than the male lead in his younger body. The female lead's inability to speak is psychological, not physical. It's the same couple from that old prompt, but I've added some trendy elements.

2. At first, the male lead has two souls sharing one body. Each thinks the other is a little wolf cub or an old geezer. Later, they'll gradually reconcile and merge. Both the older and younger one are hopeless romantics. The female lead is adored by everyone. Aside from their internal squabbles, the two of them will also face countless outside conflicts.
