The Most Hated One Reborn and Finding a Happy Ending with Myself

Narcissus | Reborn, cold on the outside but warm within, sickly beauty uke vs. loyal, puppy-like seme who grows up by his side

The young master of the Xie family in the capital, Xie Nanxing, was born into wealth and privilege. Spoiled, arrogant, and ignorant, he spent his days frequenting brothels and taverns.

His servants saw him as a snake, and the common folk feared his unreasonable bullying. This was how he lived until he came of age.

On his birthday, Xie Nanxing died in the pond behind the house.

Only then did he learn that the courtesan he loved had been paid to approach him, that his beloved elder brother had secretly despised him, and that even his parents had merely sighed, free of grief.

After his death, his soul did not fade away. Instead, filled with resentment, he returned to seven years earlier.

At the time, the young master was still immature and not quite so awful. Looking at that familiar face, Xie Nanxing stayed behind as a ghost, driven by selfish motives.

As luck would have it, the young master could hear him. He drifted by the boy's side, teaching him to understand right and wrong and recognize good friends. Sometimes, when the young master spoke passionately about his ambitions, he would only scoff.

The young master grew to sixteen, full of confidence and blessed with beauty fit for a celestial. Xie Nanxing was satisfied, thinking he could finally move on to his next life in peace.

Then a major incident struck the palace. When he awoke again, he found himself in another body, born to nobility but plagued by illness.

Meanwhile, the sapling he'd raised right had begun looking at him in a decidedly strange way.

The thirteen-year-old young master: Brother knows everything about me and can even see the future. He must be an immortal!

The sixteen-year-old young master: If Immortal Brother doesn't come out soon, I'm going to stop studying and start hanging around brothels! I really will!

The eighteen-year-old young master: I found you~ (dog wagging its tail)

Shang Zhuoxi after being reborn (the real Xie Nanxing): Raising a kid is hard, especially when the kid is yourself.
