Lin Musen died.
He died in a car accident.
He lay in a pool of blood. His heart stopped, his breathing ceased, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
But when he woke up, he wasn't in heaven. He had returned to eight years earlier... the year he had just graduated from university.
Lin Musen could hardly believe it. Just as he had closed his eyes, the driver's face had seemed strangely familiar...
It was none other than the boyfriend who had just proposed to him!
One by one, memories of what had happened in his previous life came flooding back.
His boyfriend, a university classmate in his previous life, had pursued him for six months before confessing. They had fallen deeply in love.
His younger brother, who wasn't related to him by blood, had finished the college entrance exams and gone off to university, moving out of the apartment they'd shared.
He had also landed the job he wanted, joining a company where the young boss promoted him to assistant manager. His life had settled into a predictable routine.

His life seemed to be getting better and better, but after being reborn, Lin Musen knew all too well that his seemingly perfect boyfriend might very well be a murderer!
He began plotting to avoid his own death.
The first step was to break up with his boyfriend.
Just as the two of them were getting carried away with passion, Lin Musen slapped him.
His tall, muscular boyfriend stood there with a handprint on his face, looking bewildered.
"Baby, what did I do wrong?"
Lin Musen didn't want to explain. Even in the face of such a handsome man, staying alive came first.
He clapped his hands and headed home, feeling at ease, only to run into the younger brother he'd grown up with in their adoptive family.
The other boy was packing for the start of term.
Just as he had in his previous life, Lin Musen offered him a few words of advice before going upstairs to rest.
His younger brother, who was already a head taller than him, suddenly moved closer, pressing him back step by step.
As Lin Musen felt his ears turn red, the boy leaned down and drew him into his arms, holding him tightly. "Ge, can I stay here?" He took a deep breath, savoring his scent. "I still want to live with you."

Much later, Lin Beisen finally understood.
This wasn't the first time he had been reborn, nor the first time he'd faced death.
It was just that this time, after countless loops, Pei Nanxing had finally found a way to save him.

A story where the protagonist changes partners, rebirth
The younger brother is the main love interest. Size difference, height difference.
Probably a naturally ditzy, cute bottom x a gloomy, obsessive younger top.
A touch of mystery. Happy ending, but I'm not sure if anyone else dies. (Huh?)
