Description
On that unforgettable summer night, Chi Yu, who was going through a hard time, met a strange man. That man crossed mountains and rivers to help him. He arranged his surgery, paid off his debts, and chased away the thugs who had come to harass him. But Chi Yu didn’t believe that the man could be a good person. Good people had never appeared in his life. So, this man wouldn’t be any different. Just as he had expected, the strange man handed him a contract outlining several ‘obligations’ he needed to fulfill, along with the generous rewards he would be getting in return. Yet, Chi Yu signed the agreement. From then on, Chi Yu and the strange man named Xie Qingsheng started to live together. Xie Qingsheng seemed to be a man with a strong desire to dominate and took his image very seriously. With a frown on his face and a serious look in his eyes, he said, “You’ve become so thin. People will think I’m treating you badly.” As he spoke, he would carefully scoop out some crab roe and serve it to Chi Yu. While he coldly said, “Look at other people’s boyfriends, they have a gold card, how can you not have one?” At the same time, he stuffed a black card with no upper limit in his hands. He also solemnly said “I heard someone offered you five million to leave me? I’ll offer ten times that to make you stay. It’s enough to make them eat their words, right?” Chi Yu: “…” One day, the man gave his usual villainous smile and said, “Study abroad? Of course, you can. Watching my little bird fly farther than the others, the pride and sense of accomplishment I feel is better than any CEO’s.” Chi Yu looked up at him for a moment, then hesitantly raised his hand to wipe the man’s teary eyes. “Then… why are you crying?” _____ Gong PoV In the previous life, Xie Qingsheng loved Chi Yu for his entire life. Unfortunately, Chi Yu’s life was too short, and they met too late. They were in love for two years and married for three—that was all the time Xie Qingsheng had with Chi Yu before death separated them. After Chi Yu’s sudden death, Xie Qingsheng became an empty shell without a soul and purpose. He lived his life aimlessly until he traveled 10 years back in time and met the hedgehog-like young Chi Yu. He knew, young Chi Yu no longer believed there was any kindness left in the world. Still, to stay by his lover’s side, he was willing to do whatever it took, even if it meant using the harshest and most despicable methods just to be with his lover. With that, he stayed by his lover’s side. Patiently waiting for the day when his lover’s icy heart would finally melt, and he would fall in love with him again.

My Thoughts on An Old Sweet Story About Rebirth
"An Old Sweet Story About Rebirth" promised a gentle read, and I'm pleased to say it largely delivered on that promise. This novel focuses on the emotional growth of its main character within a heartwarming, low-angst narrative. While it might not be a rollercoaster of plot twists, it provides a comforting and enjoyable experience.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, I was drawn in by the 'slice of life' genre tag. I was in the mood for something relaxing, and this story seemed to fit the bill perfectly. The initial chapters set a calm and steady pace, introducing the characters and hinting at the rebirth element without overwhelming the reader.
What Works Well
The most prominent strength of this novel is its focus on sweetness and emotional development. I particularly enjoyed the gradual approach to love between the main characters. It's refreshing to see a male lead who is attentive and caring without resorting to overbearing or aggressive behavior. His loyalty and genuine concern for the protagonist are definitely highlights. The story avoids unnecessary drama, misunderstandings, and jealousy, creating a genuinely feel-good atmosphere. It's like enjoying a delicious dessert that's flavorful and satisfying without being too rich. The villains also get their just desserts which I found very satisfying.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, if you're looking for high-stakes conflict or intricate plotting, this might not be your cup of tea. The focus is primarily on the characters' emotional journey and the development of their relationship, so the plot takes a backseat. While I personally enjoyed the simplicity, some readers might find it lacking in depth or excitement.
Final Verdict
"An Old Sweet Story About Rebirth" is a delightful read for anyone seeking a heartwarming and gentle story. Its focus on emotional growth, sweet romance, and low-angst narrative makes it a perfect choice for a relaxing escape. If you're in the mood for something light, fluffy, and utterly charming, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a story that prioritizes sweetness and character development over complex plotlines.
