Now That I've Been Reborn, Who Wants to Be Family with You?

“Under the leadership of renowned fusion scientist Liu Dong, Pretty Nation has successfully mastered controlled nuclear fusion, becoming the only country on Earth with this technology.”

“This world-changing technology is enough to reshape the future...”

“In this battle of technology, our Dragon Nation has ultimately lost...”

Watching the news on a television in a shop window, I heard the anchor choke back tears as he reported the story, and saw Liu Dong's smug face. A sharp pain filled my heart.

For the sake of so-called family ties, I gave up my healthy body and donated a kidney to you.

For the sake of so-called family ties, I gave up my chance to attend university and gave you my college entrance exam score.

For the sake of so-called family ties, I worked quietly on research behind your back and gave you all the results.

For the sake of so-called family ties, I gave up Bai Qiu, my childhood sweetheart, believing you could make her happy.

For the sake of so-called family ties, I gave everything I had to our family, never asking for anything in return.

I never imagined that all my sacrifices would bring me neither the family affection I had longed for nor a single word of gratitude from my family.

All I got was this broken body, a life of scraping by on the streets with nowhere to call home, and your treason for personal gain.

I died miserably on the street. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the eve of the college entrance exam.

Affection that comes too late is worth less than grass. This time, I won't fall for your tricks again!

Now that I've been reborn, why should I keep pretending we're family?
