Synopsis
After a tragic death, Xin An is granted a second chance at life. Haunted by the memory of the grief his cousin, Zhong Tianyu, felt for him, Xin An resolves to abandon his former 'scumbag' ways and secure a future with the man he truly loves. This novel leans heavily into the redemption through rebirth trope and reads like a classic battle of wits, reminiscent of stories where two cunning schemers attempt to outmaneuver each other for affection. It is ideal for fans of BL who enjoy the 'black-bellied' character archetype and narratives focused on devotion and pampering. Those who are averse to cousin dynamics or prefer heavy angst over a more lighthearted tone should skip this. The narrative moves briskly across its completed run, standing out for its blend of romantic tension and the protagonist's love for food.

Editorial Review
As a completed work, this novel offers a satisfyingly concise arc. The primary strength lies in the character chemistry; the interplay between the 'loyal dog' and the 'pseudo-bellied' protagonist creates a playful yet emotionally charged atmosphere. The focus on redemption provides a clear goal that drives the plot forward effectively. However, the narrative's brevity is a double-edged sword. With only 167 chapters, the resolution of external conflicts and the defeat of rival suitors feel expedited, lacking the depth and tension found in longer rebirth epics. While the romantic core is solid, the world-building remains minimal, keeping the focus strictly on the central pair. It serves as a light, pampering read but lacks the complexity and stakes required for a higher rating.
