As the biological son of the Alliance Chairman, Yuan Xiao never imagined that at nineteen, his father would put a disciplinary collar around his neck and personally hand him over to the omega who had caused his fiancé’s death.

The omega was named Tan Jue. He was the director of the Institute for Human Evolution Research, a human genius at twenty-two. After an accident caused his pheromones to become unstable, he had no choice but to be matched with a partner.

Tan Jue was beautiful, cool-headed, and silent. He had a mind so brilliant he seemed able to look down on all humanity, and he was so rational he might as well have been a precision-engineered supercomputer.

On their first night, the omega looked at him quietly. He explained nothing, simply pushed the alpha down, hooked a finger around the disciplinary collar, and coolly ordered, “Mark me.”

It was a marriage no one believed in, a deal through and through. In an age ravaged by glandular disease, Tan Jue was humanity’s hope, while Yuan Xiao was the one they had given up on. His only duty was to soothe his omega.

So he did his duty, showing up at their marital home every weekend on time to soothe Tan Jue.

In the fifth year of their marriage, the anti-glandular atrophy injection developed by the twenty-seven-year-old Tan Jue’s institute and the Alliance Medical Department was released. At last, the shadow that had hung over humanity for nearly half a century began to lift.

Just as everyone was celebrating their victory over the disease, Tan Jue killed himself at home. The cause of death was severe depression.

He died in his study, dressed in a snow-white sweater. His body was thin and frail, yet his expression was peaceful, as if he were asleep.

Holding the ambiguous-looking suicide note, Yuan Xiao calmly sent the omega’s ashes to a small grave.

Everyone thought he was relieved that this hollow marriage was finally over. None of them knew that on the night after the funeral, the alpha returned to their marital home in a daze.

There, beneath Tan Jue’s pillow, he unexpectedly found a marriage certificate worn soft with handling.

With a heart full of pain and conflicting emotions, Yuan Xiao sought out the omega’s former therapist, only to receive an answer he never expected.

“Yuan Xiao, Tan Jue liked you more than you think.”

“When you thought Tan Jue hated you, that was when he loved you most.”

.

A month after Tan Jue’s death, Yuan Xiao, the twenty-four-year-old rising star of the Alliance, killed himself at home. They say he was still clutching two bright red marriage certificates when he died.

When Yuan Xiao opened his eyes again, he discovered he had returned to the age of nineteen, to the year he was forcibly matched, collared, and sent to Tan Jue.

And in six hours, Tan Jue would kill his fiancé by infecting him with glandular atrophy.

[Please note]

1. Yuan Xiao is the top, Tan Jue is the bottom. Younger top, one-on-one, both virgins, happy ending.

2. Reborn and pursuing his wife. Expect melodrama.

3. They are three years apart in age, but when the top was in elementary school, his wife was already in college.

4. Do not split up or reverse the pairing.
