This is a weird reincarnation and body swap story. MC starts off as the sick young master to a family of influential martial artists, he's crap at martial arts as well as sick, and so the black sheep of the family. Father is an abusive asshole, older brother seems to be a saint despite the fact that he doesn't really do anything to help. At the beginning I thought the person that turns out to be ML was MC's servant. Apparently he was a doctor the entire time. He comes and goes like a servant, and for reasons was there to watch MC spar?? What even is this? We only ever really learn about MC and his personality, we know barely anything about anyone else. It's so hard to be invested in this story, I don't understand why it's rated so highly.
The body swap happens with MC beating on future ML till he (MC) passes out and then he wakes up in ML's body and lives a much happier life learning medicine. Somehow, for reasons not established even a little, MC decides he's going to stop living as ML and go back to his own body. So he relives the events of his previous life where he beat on his doctor till he passed out this time with him as the doctor. MC knows this will work. He is certain. I have no earthly idea as to why! But it does! He wakes up back in his body. ML comes back to his body and then is established he's over 200 years old, and having been living in another world the entire time. So if he wasn't around WHO THE FUCK WAS IN MC's BODY WHILE MC WAS IN ML's BODY?!?!?!?!
WHO WAS PHONE?? (<- reference to a really old meme. It's for me, not you, don't worry about it.)
And while we're at it, ML is fine being back in his old body and still somehow able to use magic despite later telling MC it would be impossible for him to learn, because of being from a different world. I can't even. Everything is poorly established and executed when it comes to this plot. There's no tension and so nothing matters, besides MC's even more failing health!
Also don't let the yaoi tag fool you, from what I've seen this is shounen ai at best. Sex probably will happen, but it'll be implied within the confines of the shounen ai tag and not anything like what you'd see normally under the yaoi tag. Also some other comments said something of rivals to lovers being the trope. Pardon?? No?? When? Where? When and where were they ever rivals?? That's not even a little bit how the main couple's dynamic is. ML is taking care of MC's health, and while Mc's unsure of ML, they are never rivals. <_< such lies.
The art is very bland and translation is unexpectedly good considering usually martial arts shonen ai stories on this site are translated very badly. I dropped this story, it's not good.
