The real young master from the slums was finally brought back to his wealthy family.
Not that his family was particularly happy to have him.
Before he even reached the house, his nominal grandfather showed him his terminal illness diagnosis and demanded that he leave as little trace as possible in the home before he died. He also forbade him from telling anyone about his illness, threatening to cut off all money for treatment and living expenses if he disobeyed.
The real young master obediently nodded and agreed.
His grandfather watched him in silence and sighed.
After raising the fake young master for more than a decade and growing deeply attached to him, his parents wanted nothing to do with the real young master. Afraid he would ruin their happy family, they warned him to give way to his younger brother and not covet what wasn't his.
The real young master calmly said, "Okay."
His shrewd, wealthy parents grew suspicious.
The fake young master, who had been raised well, felt guilty toward the real young master and did his best to make it up to him. But his friends assumed the real young master was bullying him at home. They considered it their duty to stand up for their friend and doused the real young master with a bucket of cold water.
The real young master ignored them, took off his soaked school uniform jacket, and went to get medicine before he could catch a cold.
The fake young master's friends began to feel that things weren't quite as they'd imagined.
Later, the overlooked real young master appeared in public less and less. By the time anyone noticed his condition, he could only get around in a wheelchair and had just days left to live.
Only then did they learn that the real young master was dying...
All the kindness in the world came pouring toward the real young master.
But just as he had already been terminally ill before his wealthy family brought him home, it was all too late. Before they could earn his forgiveness, the real young master really did die.
--
After learning he was terminally ill, the real young master, Qian Mo, stopped expecting anything from life. Even after his biological wealthy family brought him home, he remained utterly calm, quietly waiting for the day he would die.
But when he died and opened his eyes again, he found himself back in his childhood, before the illness.
His memories from his previous life faded away like a receding tide. He had only enough time to leave himself one piece of advice on paper: Live well. Then he truly became a child again.
Lately, little Qian Mo had been receiving mysterious letters. They were diary entries from before he was reborn. He read them like an ongoing serial and was wondering who this poor person, just like him, could be when the next entry appeared.
[I have good news and bad news to share with you.]
[The good news is that I really was switched at birth. My biological parents are both from wealthy families, and I'm actually several generations into a rich family.]
[The bad news is that the doctor says I don't have long to live. I'm dying.]
[I'll do my best to enjoy the rest of my life.]
Before he could marvel at the drama of the other person's life, a luxury car pulled up outside Qian Mo's humble home. The family from the diary had found him.
He was brought back to the wealthy family ten years early.
His parents doted on him, his brothers protected him, and his friends welcomed him warmly...
Suddenly, the world was kind to him, and he quickly became the whole family's darling.
But he couldn't let go of the diary entries that appeared from time to time. He always needed people to prove over and over that they loved him before he could bring himself to be even a little kind to them.
Reading Guide:
1. The diary entries will appear gradually, not all at once. The recipient's attitude will also change as the diary progresses.
2. Everyone is affected by what happened before the rebirth. Subtle changes in their thoughts cause a butterfly effect after the rebirth. They will remember their past lives later on.
3. After the rebirth, everyone loves the recipient. The main story begins after the rebirth.
4. The love interest and the recipient had no negative ties in their previous lives.
