《MY DAZZLING NEW LIFE WITH MY NEW HUSBAND》

《Countdown to Season 1 finale》

《 200 chapters 》

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.

Shen Zihao's expression shifted almost immediately. 


It wasn't the usual fracture of composure turning into controlled rage, because Guiying had seen that version of him before, and it always came with structure and predictability, something the mind could still map and survive.


Something behind his face cracked in a way that refused order, and when his mouth opened, what came out did not carry control or restraint, only force that felt dragged out of him rather than spoken.


"This isn't even about you." His voice rose too quickly, breaking upward under strain rather than emotion, sharp and unsteady under pressure. "I didn't come here for you…"


Both hands locked around his arms, fingers biting into muscle with immediate force that pinned him in place and made his breath catch sharply as pain flared through his shoulders and locked his body still.


Shen Zihao pulled him forward until there was no space left between them.
