We present a systematic study of the evolution of intermediate- and low-mass X-ray binaries. Our calculations suggest that millisecond binary pulsars in wide orbits might have neutron stars born massive, or been formed through mass transfer driven by planet/brown dwarf-involved common envelope evolution.
