The darkness eventually passed and the sun always rose.
The little boy had a good night’s sleep. Although his sleep was undisturbed, his body was long used to cultivating all the time. Therefore, when he blinked again, he noticed that the shallow amount of internal force in his Dantian had greatly increased overnight.
“Reverse Spirits” was truly tailored for bodies with pure yin and yang with reverse veins. Gong Lixin, who was a pure yin and had the reverse physique, was twice as perfect for this cultivation method. Thus the result was that even with half of his effort, it still resulted in an amazing speed in cultivation. It was a pity that these two physiques were rare in the world. He was born in such a body in the other world. The young master was reborn again in such a body. He didn’t know if God had anything against him.
However, the growth of internal forces was not what attracted the little master’s attention. He was staring at the orange morning sky outside the window with a smile on his lips and a face full of admiration. He watched for a long time before stepping in front of the window and extending his right hand to try and pick up a ray of sunshine on the window.
His five fingers gathered and then spread out but there was nothing, nothing but the warmth of the sun that was caught in the palm of his hand. The little youngster stretched like a cat and soaked up the warmth of the morning light that he could only dream of in his last world. The corners of his eyes quietly condensed with tears.
Soon, he recovered from his overwhelming emotions, raised his face, and forced his tears back. Standing in front of Gong Lixin’s full-body length wardrobe, he didn’t know what to wear for school.
Looking inside, the young master finally picked up the T-shirt that Song Haoran bought for him yesterday. The T-shirt was already worn but it was still brand new. Not only was the style simple but it was also very comfortable to wear. He liked it a lot.
He also picked up a light-colored jean that Gong Lixin often wore in his memory. The young master carefully flattened the creases on his clothes and pants, found the materials nice to the touch, and reasonable to wear, and so he walked downstairs to the dining hall.
“Good morning, father, good morning, sister, good morning, brother Song.” Stepping down the stairs, the youth gave his greetings to his family members who were already gathered at the table. He dropped his head slightly, concealing the excitement on his face, and sat down beside Song Haoran, all the while looking forward to having breakfast with his family for the first time.
Hearing Gong Lixin’s quiet greeting, Gong Yuanhang showed an expression of surprise. Gong Xiangyi bowed her head and pretended to eat seriously. Only Song Haoran nodded with a smile in greeting.
Gong Xiangyi was stunned to see a smile on Gong Lixin’s face and quietly, resented him. Once again, she was not as happy as Gong Yuanhang was with this change but she was very pleased, in a twisted way, with Gong Lixin’s ability to disguise his attitude.
After Gong Lixin’s betrayal, no one knew more about the hidden viciousness of this young boy in order to assure his well-being. As long as he could survive, the young man could immediately throw away his gloomy outer shell and show kindness to others without hesitation, therefore living well under the protection of others.

She had to say that the delicate and perfect act of this young man was useful for him as one couldn’t help but pity him. The longer he lived, the more arrogant he became, and eventually fell in love with someone he shouldn’t have, pushing himself into the fire pit.

Gong Lixin, I am not like you. I won’t hurt people for personal grievances. But I am no saint either so I won’t forgive you, take care of you, and protect you. In this lifetime, you will be the one to suffer and this time, I will be the one to gain happiness!
Thinking all this, Gong Xiangyi’s mouth held back a sneer as she slowly drank the delicious and fragrant chicken porridge with half-closed eyes, truly savouring the food she hasn’t had for a long time.
After a night of adjustment, she was able to fully grasp her emotions so this time, her hostility was not revealed to the young master. Of course, the youth was just like her, he was also immersed in the deliciousness of the food.
In his last life in the Underground Palace, Xiao Ling tried to speed up the young master’s cultivation and never let the little master eat anything. He often gave him all kinds of pills to improve his skill. Sometimes when he felt like it, he would let him eat the raw flesh of beast and drink its blood to supplement the aura. The smell, the feeling of wanting to vomit, and the difficulty of swallowing, all disappeared because of the chicken porridge and delicious dumplings in front of him.
The young master didn’t hold back. One by one, he quickly eliminated the food in front of him. His bulging cheeks, his sparkling eyes resembling that of a pleased cat, his expression of ultimate joy- all these vivid and interesting reactions made Song Haoran almost laugh but also made the food he ate more delicious.
Gong father didn’t squint in pleasure like them but still seemed to be eating seriously. In fact, Gong Yuanhang had been paying attention to his youngest child. Seeing that the younger child, who never liked eating breakfast had such a good appetite, made him happy and softened his eyes.
The atmosphere of the breakfast table seemed very warm and harmonious. When the little master ate eight bowls, he finally used his amazing will to restrain his urge from stuffing the rest of the food in his stomach.
He put down his tableware, reluctantly wiped his mouth with a napkin, and politely stood and bid goodbye to the people at the table.
“Wait, I don’t have any task today, so I’ll drive you to school and pick you up after.” Song Haoran saw the teenager go and quickly set aside his tableware.
Since yesterday’s experience, his impression of Gong Lixin had changed and made a 180 degree turn. His heart felt pity and guilt towards the child; thus, he decided to pay more attention to this younger brother in the future.
“Thank you, Song Big Brother!” The young master blinked, his face showing a surprised expression. He was normally sent to school by a random driver so Song Haoran, who he liked, was a lot better.
Song Haoran felt tickled by this youth’s excited expression. He patted Gong Lixin’s hair and slid a hand over his shoulder as he moved them towards the garage.
Gong father looked at the two people walking away intimately, the corner of his mouth raised slightly while Gong Xiangyi showed a dignified expression. She finally found an anomaly after her rebirth which was the relationship between Gong Lixin and Song Haoran.
In the past life, the two lived under the same roof but when one looked at their relationship, it was like between water and oil. Song Haoran was the one who saw through Gong Lixin’s true nature from beginning to end. For Gong Lixin, even when he disguised himself, Song Haoran paid attention to him and even warned Gong Xiangyi to be careful around her younger brother. Unfortunately, the original Gong Xiangyi was blinded by her younger brother’s affection and never put those words to heart.
Looking at this today, Song Haoran was very fond of Gong Lixin to the point of guarding him? This was concerning but maybe Gong Lixin was also born again and knew Song Haoran’s circumstance at the end of the world. He was one of the top powerhouses in the world, so perhaps he decided to make his move in advance?
Gong Xiangyi thought for a while and quickly threw that notion away. How could the miracle of rebirth happen again and again and again? It was not a bargain sale! Moreover, if Gong Lixin was truly reborn, how could he still go to school at this time? He would be busy gathering the necessary materials without delay!
Let’s go back for a bit. Even if he was reborn, what’s the worst that can happen? He had no power, no space. With only a beautiful face, he’ll eventually get tired of being thrown away like garbage just like in their past life and won’t pose a threat to her. She just needed to be careful and wait for the apocalypse to consume him. This time, without her help, whether he can survive or not was left to be seen.
Thinking this through, Gong Xiangyi felt relieved and began thinking on how to mention the upcoming events to her father, Lin Wenbo, and Song Haoran, and let them help her collect materials.
Father and Song Haoran were the real powers of Provincial Military Region A. They could easily get weapons. The Lin family where Lin Wenbo came from belongs to one of the top ten businessmen of C country. Collecting food and daily necessities were made with a simple wave of a hand. Coupled with her vast space and her past knowledge, she could take advantage of many opportunities to come, avoid the tragedies of her last life, and live happily.
Gong Xiangyi kept planning on how to deal with the outbreak of the apocalypse. On the other hand, the young master was still ignorant. He didn’t know that the world that he’s come to love more and more with every minute that went by will soon be devastated and be turned into a living hell.
At this time, he was eagerly looking at the passing scenery outside the window and was amazed by the means of transportation called “car”. People in this world have turned things that appeared in various mythological stories into reality. If he didn’t have Gong Lixin’s memory, he would think that he was no longer in the living world but in a celestial land. Only the gods in the celestial land would make clouds and sky move but the mortals in this world have done it! He was amazed in his heart.
Repressing the nerves on his face and trying not to expose himself by revealing his excitement, the young master ended up looking a bit too serious. Regardless, his crystal-clear eyes remained undisguised. At the moment, they were shining with burning light. He was staring at the car’s air conditioner, searching how the constant cool air kept coming out. Every now and then, he stuck his fingers between the fins and felt the flow of air from between the fins. It was cool.
The summer in this world was very hot. It was even hot in the morning and it was difficult to change the weather so this air conditioner was amazing! In this way, no internal force was wasted and the summer season also became comfortable! The youth and his five fingers kept swaying in front of the air conditioner as he silently had these thoughts.
“Is the air conditioner that fun?” Gong Lixin had looked out from the window for several minutes and played with the air conditioner for the same amount of time. He didn’t want to take the initiative to talk to him but thinking that he was going to school and will be there a while, Song Haoran finally couldn’t help but break the silence.
“Ah? No, it’s not fun.” The young master replied. With a sigh of disappointment, he retracted his right hand and hid it behind his back. No matter how calm he was, he was only 16 years-old. It was difficult to control his curiosity when he saw new and novel things.
“If it was not fun, why play with it for so long? Why not to talk to Song Big Brother!” Song Haoran, who concentrated on driving, didn’t find his behavior to be strange. He made up his mind yesterday, deciding that he wanted to get along with this younger brother. Naturally, he hoped to know more about him and talking was a faster way of understanding someone.
Talk? The youth searched his memory and didn’t find a picture of Gong Lixin and Song Haoran in his mind. For a moment, he felt helpless but he had to open his mouth. “But I’ve never seemed to have spoken to Song Big Brother, I don’t know what to say. If I say something wrong, I am afraid that I will make Song Brother dislike me.”
Song Haoran was stunned by this honest answer, his facial expression a little stiff as he turned his face slightly, guiltily looking at the innocent teenager: How come I felt that Gong Lixin’s temper was paranoid and his heart was shallow? He is clearly a good boy with straightforward words and personality. My previous opinion of him was simply wrong.
The longer he stayed with Gong Lixin, the more his heart repented on his indifference and prejudice. Song Haoran was somewhat uncomfortable and no longer forced Gong Lixin to talk to him. The two arrived in A district’s affiliated secondary school in silence.
Looking at the back of the teenager as he got off the car, Song Haoran strengthened his resolve and shouted: “Lixin, as long as I have time, I will drive you to school and pick you up.”
The young master heard these words and answered back just as loud with a “hn”. The white, jade-like face was extremely bright, the crescent-shaped eyes filled with joy. It was more beautiful under the reflection of the morning sun, to an extent that one couldn’t help but think of how good he looked.
Seeing the childish expression on the youth, Song Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and his mood brightened.
T/N: If you haven’t noticed, the Character Information (not much, just info on the sister) page was updated. I’ll update it frequently as more information about each character is added.
On another note, I’ll be starting Ko-Fi after the next release. See you next Saturday!
Doesn’t ‘a 360 degree turn’ mean that nothing changed??
Anyway, thanks for the chapter, MC is so cute uwuwu
True! I’ll go change that. Thanks!
Thanks for the chapter! 💕💕💕
Thanks for the updates!
I know the sister’s attitude is reasonable if it was in a rebirth novel with her as the protagonist, but I can’t help but hate her and want her to be face slapped. Also the one who saw through the original Gong Lizhen being close to him, wouldn’t you think he in this reality is different?
I have a feeling that she will die and her fiancé will join the harem. Or he will regret being with her and/or die as a villain. I’m rooting for the first option though.
I know right! Like, the person who suspected him the most trusts him now. That must mean something! But she’s coloured by her past. And even though she resembles those from rebirth novels, she’s a lot more incentive to other people’s feeling I find.
As for her ending, she doesn’t die, which, despite the fact that I hate her, makes me happy. After all, she had a reason for doing what she did and I’m glad that the author doesn’t brutalize her fate to the point that I even cringe at the villain’s end.
Good that she doesn’t die~ I hope she and the mc could be friends. She has reasons for resenting her brother and she is good enough to not do anything and just wait for his fate, for this you gain a like~
Well, it hasn’t been long since her rebirth so you can’t expect her to accept the mc now. Besides, after getting betrayed and losing her love and dying, it is already quiet magnanimous that she is only thinks bad thoughts of her half-brother but has no intention to directly retaliate, especially sice she was so good to him. If she didn’t have this much anger, then her character would be a goody Mary Sue.
I like things this way and I look forward to her discovering her half-brother isn’t so bad anymore
Yaaas
I don’t think it’s right to say she has no intention of retaliate, the way she said was more like she couldn’t be bothered to retaliate because she thinks her brother will die anyway without her help. It seemed quite hypocrite of her in my opinion.
Thanks for so many updates! This is really interesting, looking forward to the next chapter! 🙂
I am glad at least the sister will not actively try and hurt the ML.
pfftt…
Oh, this looks interesting and I think I’m glad to know sister won’t die, tho I’m not sure what I’ll be feeling when seeing her abusing MC later. BTW, is Song Haoran the ML?
Thanks for the translation..
I’m not spoiling that~ Just so you know, there’s more than one ML!
Thanks for the chapter, I love this already! 💕
Thank you for the updates!
Also, I think there are some errors with possessive pronouns.
“blinded by his younger brother’s affection and never put those words to heart.”
“…to his father, Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran and let them help her collect materials.”
Sorry if this looks weird. I haven’t used WordPress in years, so I don’t remember if I can put html in comments. It’d be useful if there were a preview feature so I could check.
Thanks, I fixed those up.
GXY just jinxed herself…
Honestly, I really don’t hate the sister much. Her attitude was reasonable, she was betrayed, starved, and hurt. Her heart must be weary now. I can’t help but want them to reconcile. There were many rebirth stories that female characters were bad and of course, the villain. But I don’t know what came in to me, maybe I was a bit tired of those kind of character setting. I hope the sister and our MC get along well. That would make our MC happy too. He was lonely in the past, he doesn’t have a family. At least give him a sister. His father’s too old to be his best friend though 😂😂😂.
Totally agree…if she were the mc, I’d be cheering her on to retaliate but she looks fairly reasonable and not malicious…
This is a very very interesting premise. I’m looking forward to it so much
Exactly, this novel’s starting premise is so interesting that its keeping you hooked and wanting more ! Thanks for translating !
The scenario of how both of them went through the sufferings in their past lives, had turned them into a new leaf in this life. One who was sweet and kind has changed into a vicious person, on a lookout for various events that occured . And the other has a kind outlook for his new life, nothing but well intentions in this life he has gotten.
I really like how this is going!
I hope he and his sister will eventually get closer
Lol Song Haoran is so dense! He just completely ignored anything that could be suspicious haha
I get why the sister is worried and has hatred towards mc original owner body. I just hope she doesn’t go to far but knowing the direction it’s going to I doubt I’m going to get what I want. But anyways mc is such a cutie I just want to squish his cheeks!
A really interesting and cute story but if xiangyi has to suffer again , I’ll definitely drop reading this novel 😒
she’s so pitiful..I hope the writer won’t have grudge against women 🥴
Thanks for translation 🥰
The sister’s attitude seems reasonable but it doesn’t make any sense to the current GL. They will only end up hurting each other because of the past grievances and ignorance. Sigh.
