Now That I’m Reborn, Why Should I Still Live Like a Doormat?

His two older sisters are always trying to bail their younger brother out, but they still can't get him on his feet.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Cheng flips the table and takes a bottle of liquor out for a late-night walk. At forty, he's still achieved nothing. He's dissatisfied, yet still reaching for the stars without putting in the work.

Fate gives Luo Cheng another chance: he returns to 1998, to the day his second older sister gets married.

If history doesn't change, his second sister will follow in his eldest sister's footsteps and become another sister who keeps bailing out her younger brother.

Are nobles and generals born to their stations? Some things Luo Cheng won't let happen again, and he won't spend another twenty years being a pushover.

(A small-time protagonist's perspective, without any particularly uplifting ideals, but this is still a story of gradual self-redemption. It's not as bleak as the author's previous book, so feel free to give it a try. It's not a deep pit, and you can climb out anytime.)
