[Sweet romance, SC, dual rebirth, scheming green-tea wolf in sheep's clothing × gentle, composed beauty, faux-replacement trope]
1
Shen Yuli, a dissolute man, fell in love with a woman who loved his older brother.
Shen Yuzhou was gentle and considerate, the complete opposite of him.
After an accident sent him back two years, Shen Yuli decided to win her heart by humbly playing the part of the man she liked.
He sheathed his fangs, donned a disguise, and crept into her life, luring her into his trap.

Wen Xi realized that Shen Yuli wasn't quite the man she remembered.
When someone deliberately stepped on his shoes and dirtied them, she worried he'd beat them up on the spot, but he only said gently that it was fine.
When he caught her on a blind date, she expected him to humiliate the other man, but instead he told her, perfectly seriously, “He seems like a good catch. You should consider him.”
She sensed something was off. Then one day, when someone bullied her, he slowly wiped the grime from her face before turning around and giving them a thorough beating.
She had turned back and witnessed it. Her heart trembled as she called, “Shen Yuli.”
He slowly turned around, leisurely wiping the blood from his fingers. His eyes were dark as spilled ink, yet his lips curved into a smile. “Ah... I guess you caught me.”
In that moment, her first instinct was to run.
Only later did she realize she couldn't run or hide. She was sinking into the mire, unable to escape.
I once used sweet petals and sharp thorns to tell you I loved you. Now I beg to become the wind and listen to you, or a stream winding its way to you.

You've really done a fantastic job! It's so well-written and a great read!
The room was rather stuffy, when suddenly inspiration struck. I picked up my fountain pen, which hadn't been used in a long time, feeling I should write something, but I didn't know where to begin. Perhaps it was the day that had put me in such a gloomy mood, but I only managed to scribble "My wife, I love you" before stopping.
Several years have passed, thank you for your support before. Times have changed, keep it up, my dear! 😆
You're amazing! After playing dead for so long, when I came back, everything had changed. One by one, they quietly failed and eventually disappeared without a trace... It's so good to see you even in this situation. This nonchalant attitude regardless of results, this unwavering stubbornness, this steadfast passion... That's amazing! So impressive it puts me to shame...
