In his previous life, one argument at the dinner table sent Xu Yuan storming out. The moment his older brother, Xu You, ran after him, the wheels crushed everything. To atone, Xu Yuan imitated his brother, currying favor with their parents and accommodating Yan Xu, his childhood friend and rival. He became a substitute, a tool to hold the family together. Even after Yan Xu married him, he never touched him, only looking at him with turbulent darkness and words left unspoken. After an accidental car crash, Xu Yuan closed his eyes, exhausted and despairing. When he opened them again, he was back at the family banquet where his brother had met with disaster.
His parents asked what he thought about his brother marrying Yan Xu. Xu Yuan calmly answered, “Sounds good.” This time, he wanted no atonement, no life as a substitute, and none of that suffocating love. He left for the far reaches of the interstellar frontier, choosing the hardest and most dangerous jobs, and severed every tie with his family and Yan Xu. Two months without contact later, when the long-overdue call about the marriage alliance finally came, he assumed they meant his brother and casually replied, “I agree.”
He thought their paths would never cross again, but amid the sandstorms of a desolate planet, he met Yan Xu’s gaze. The man gripped his wrist, his voice hoarse as he said he had never liked Xu Yuan’s brother. The person he had wanted to marry, from beginning to end, was Xu Yuan.
But Xu Yuan only felt sick.
Love that comes too late is cheaper than dirt. In this life, he only wants to be himself, and will never again cling to the prison called “love.”
It's hard to accept when you see it later. It seems like you are completely reborn (except for the parents who made the wish)!
