Rough guy x crossdresser shou

Impressions: This is a very peaceful slice of life~ Our MC is a very responsible husband~~ From the same author of Green Tea Educated Youth in the Chronicles.

So our MC was reborn. In the past life, he got involved into the underworld. He followed the wrong Boss, and in the end, all his 'brothers' died one after another. He also experienced countless betrayals. Later, he became successful in life but he is all alone. So our MC's biggest wish is to be an upright person. 

He was reborn back in 1991 when he hasn't joined the underworld yet. Our MC was also a punk/gangster in the past (that's why the underworld Boss recruited him), he had two sons with his ex-girlfriend. After they broke up, the girl took the kids and MC gave her all his money. The girl was also young and doesn't know how to take care of children. In the end, she became addicted to drugs and died. In the previous life, the two kids starved to death (their mother locked them inside the house) and our MC only found out about it many years later. This time, he rescued them right away and happen to meet shou~

It turns out that the shou has been secretly taking care of the kids (feeding them through the window), he was worried about the kids so he followed MC. Shou and MC are old classmates. Shou is gay and confessed to MC when they were in school. MC dared him to wear a skirt as a prank and shou really did it for him. Because of this, shou's sexual orientation was exposed. He was criticized and had to drop out of school. His parents also kicked him out of the house. MC feels guilty because of the previous prank and he really needs help taking care of the kids (plus shou is homeless) so he asks shou to live with him.

Meanwhile, MC also called back his 'brothers' asking them not to get in touch with the underworld Boss. He even had to fight to get back one of them who was almost made a scapegoat to take the blame (the usual practice of the Boss). He opened a food business, selling skewers/barbecue in the night market. The other punks/gangster also respect MC very much esp. after his fight to get back his brother (His legend still stays~~). MC is not only strong in fighting but also very loyal. So all of them followed MC to do the night market business XD They even got on the newspaper as an example of successful 'reformation'. Laters, MC gave this business to the 'younger brothers' and went to the business of selling construction materials.

MC opened up a new career. Some competitions with other rival business owners (MC always wins XD). MC and shou are also now officially together. Shou loves MC very much and MC has also seen all kinds of temptation in the last life. He especially likes the feeling of 'home' that shou gives him and also likes shou very much. He is also very upright about it, letting others know that shou is his lover. He also asks shou to go back to school to continue his studies. Then shou's school arc~

Hmm.. next is MC and family going to the Capital after shou passed the college exam. MC gave this business to another 'brother' and went into the Capital to start anew. He opened a small restaurant which also became successful. He also made investments, bought houses to rent to others etc. And then shou's university arc~~ Laters, MC and shou went back to their hometown to attend MC's brother's wedding and found out the situation of the state-owned factory. which was on the brink of bankruptcy; so MC bought the factory and became the Factory Director. He reformed the Factory, laying off previous workers peacefully and then developing new products etc. He became another successful example of turning state factory to private enterprise~ Our MC is a famous entrepreneur by now.

Ending is shou and MC going back to the Capital to attend his son's parent meeting (the older brother) and a kindergarten show (the younger bro). Extras is the side CP of MC's other friends/brothers and his two kids who has become teenagers.

It's very peaceful, no drama. Considering that MC is from the underworld, there were a few thrilling fights on the first part (when he solved the Underworld Boss once and for all) but after that, its really more on family life with the little buns, business management and romance with shou. There is a nice balance that there are always fluffy/heartwarming episodes during the career arc. Our MC is really the protagonist. He is a born leader and can do everything well even if its a new business. (It's just too bad he got on the wrong career in the last life). A very good Boss, husband, 'Elder Brother' (I give you my knees!). Shou is very...wifey. He is gentle and good with the kids. Very virtuous shou ^_^ (He graduated early to help in MC's factory). The little buns are both cute and naughty.
