Debts from a Past Life, Fate in This One

Qi Min died in the poisoned soup Yu Qianqian fed him with her own hands, dying in her arms.

To his last breath, he never knew that at that moment, she had finally fallen in love with him.

Reborn in the modern era, he became the aloof, untouchable CEO of the Qi Corporation, cold and ruthless.

In this life, he foresaw every possible ending:

If they met again, he would fall in love with her again, and he would cause her death again.

So he chose: never to see her again was his only option.

On a snowy night, he stood beneath her dessert shop with an umbrella, gazed at her intently, then turned away without a word.

When they met again in the conference room, he sat at the head of the table and looked at her coldly. “Do we know each other?”

He was sharp-tongued, difficult, and distant, pushing her away and pretending they had never met.

But his actions betrayed him in the most frightening way:

When she worked late, he brought her hot food. When she was in danger, he risked his life to protect her. When she got drunk and cried out, he stood in the pouring rain, in so much pain he could barely breathe.

Only when she was gravely injured and near death did he finally break down.

“How could I pretend not to know you? I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you by my side again.”

Only when the truth came crashing down did he learn:

In both lives, he had missed the most painful truth of all:

He died the very moment she fell in love with him.

The debts of their past life would be repaid in this one.

The untouchable beauty fell from her pedestal for her, and the cold, domineering CEO humbled himself to win his wife back.

This time, he wanted no kingdom. He wanted only her.
