《MY DAZZLING NEW LIFE WITH MY NEW HUSBAND》

Xue Guiying dies by his own hand.

Born an illegitimate Omega into a family that treated him as a burden and a bargaining chip, he spent his first life enduring every cruelty they had to offer. When they finally found a use for him, it was the worst possible one: an arranged marriage to a man who broke him completely over five years. Abused, assaulted, and stripped of all dignity, Guiying chose the only exit he believed was left to him.

Then he wakes up five years earlier, whole in body if not in spirit, with the full weight of everything he remembers.

Before his family can lock him into the same fate, Guiying walks into a civil affairs bureau and marries the first willing stranger he finds. That stranger turns out to be Liu Liuxian, scion of the most powerful family in China and a top-class Alpha who is, apparently, just as eager to escape an arranged marriage of his own.

What follows is a marriage neither of them planned and both of them slowly begin to want.

Behind Liuxian's cold exterior is a man of quiet, unexpected gentleness. For Guiying, learning to receive warmth without flinching is its own kind of battle. He did not come back to fall in love. He came back to win. Yet somehow, both things begin to happen at once.

Because while Guiying is falling, he is also methodically dismantling everyone who destroyed his first life. And his former husband, unwilling to accept Guiying's new life, is making that task considerably more dangerous.

In the end, every person who wronged Xue Guiying meets the ruin they deserve, and he finds himself standing in a life that is finally, entirely his own, with a man beside him who chose him back.

This time, he does not have to die to be free.

Guiying had finished the last dumpling when Liuxian set his pen down and looked at him.


"I want to take you on a date.m" he said. "Somewhere nice. Just the two of us."


Guiying looked at him. "Mhm. I've never been on a date before."


"Well now's your chance to try something new." Liuxian's mouth curved slightly. "I'll make sure it's a memorable first date."


Guiying looked at him for a moment, then looked back at his empty bowl. "Fine. When?"


"Obviously.." Liuxian said. "I wouldn't dare. See how good you look right now."


"Guiying. Not one call." He held up a hand. "You have my word."


Guiying studied him with the focused suspicion of someone who had learned that agreeable men were not always trustworthy men. Then he nodded, apparently satisfied, and pushed the empty bowl aside.
