Title: "Reborn as the Sickly Young Master" When Gu Yichen, a hardened military officer, dies on the battlefield, he never expects to wake up in the body of Shen Qingran, a frail high school student from an elite business family. Weak, ignored, and pitied, the original Shen Qingran lived a lonely life because his mother died giving birth to him. His father and brothers see him as an unfortunate existence, leaving him to fend for himself. But Gu Yichen is not one to accept weakness. Though his new body is fragile, his mind and soul remain strong. He begins training in secret, strengthening himself despite the constant coughs and dizzy spells. His cold and indifferent demeanor, combined with the occasional sharp military instincts, startle those around him. The school's number one heartthrob, Lu Zeyan, should have no reason to pay attention to him. Handsome, rich, and loved by everyone, Lu Zeyan has his pick of admirers. But for some reason, he can't stop looking at Shen Qingran. Why is he suddenly so cute? At first, Lu Zeyan only glances at him from afar. Then, he starts hovering around, offering small helps: "Shen Qingran, you look pale. Sit down, I'll get you water." Then, he starts blocking others from getting too close: "Don't push him! What if he falls?!" Then, he outright kidnaps Shen Qingran during PE: "You can't run in this state! Sit with me instead." Shen Qingran: "..." I can fight a grown man with one hand. Why is this guy treating me like a fragile doll? As he navigates his new life, Shen Qingran is torn between getting stronger and figuring out why Lu Zeyan keeps following him like a protective mother hen. And when Lu Zeyan finally grabs his wrist, looks deep into his eyes, and says, "You're too cute. I want to protect you," Shen Qingran realizes-he might have a much bigger problem than just his weak body. ---
