Wen Ran was never liked by his family. His father despised him, his mother had never met him, and his illegitimate half-sibling constantly took advantage of him. That was simply how things were.
At last, when he was seventeen, his scumbag father sold him to the second young master of the Meng family with a contract. Rumor had it the man was the Meng family's loyal dog, but in Wen Ran's eyes, he was a safe harbor he could rely on.
Time cleared the dust from their buried memories. Even before they fell in love, they had already been the only family either of them cherished. That never changed.
When the nightmare was over, he could still recognize at a glance the soul that had been waiting for him all along. Thank goodness he hadn't gone after him yet. Thank goodness they hadn't missed their chance.
When his lonely soul docked once more at the familiar harbor, he no longer wanted to leave.
Their scents and warmth mingled. Their hearts beat for each other. Their rings were the bonds of a promise: no separation in life, no parting in death. They would be together forever, just as they had always been.
Devoted, steadfast top (Meng Chuan) x self-effacing, overthinking bottom (Wen Ran)
PS: The body he wakes up in after being reborn is not Wen Ran's original body.
