《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.

Tian Huan looked out the window at the city passing by, at the buildings and the traffic and the ordinary Thursday morning of a place that had kept moving without him for two years.


"It's fine," he said quietly. "I made peace with it."


Jae did not entirely believe that. But he knew Tian Huan well enough to know that pushing was not going to get him anywhere, so he filed it away and kept driving.


"We're throwing you a party," he said instead.


"Welcome home party. Liuxian's in, Hao Lin's in, I'm working on Lindong but his wife has him on a tight leash these days so we'll see." Jae waved a hand. "Good food, good company, no speeches. Just us."


"I know I don't have to," Jae said. "I want to. We all do." He looked over briefly. "You've been gone two years, you almost didn't come back at all, and you're home now. That deserves a meal at minimum."
