In his previous life, Fang Yichen was an Alpha everyone despised as a pathetic simp. Everyone said he had married up by relying on their high compatibility, becoming the husband of the Federation's youngest Omega councilor. Who didn't lament that the Yan family's heir apparent had wasted a beautiful flower on a pile of manure?
No one knew that, for Yan Xuan, he had given up the esports stage he loved most. A rising star who had won the Federation League championship in his debut had simply vanished into the long river of history.
Ten years of giving his whole heart earned him nothing but divorce papers and a life of poverty.
Before he died, Yan Xuan wouldn't even deign to visit him.
Reborn, he returned to the day he married Yan Xuan.
In this life, Fang Yichen had only one wish: play well, work hard to make money, and stay away from Yan Xuan.
Standing in the middle of the church, he casually tossed his ring aside. "I'm sorry, Mr. Yan. Our pheromones may be highly compatible, but we're not right for each other."
Unexpectedly, Yan Xuan waved a hand and bought the team Fang Yichen played for. He drove a luxury car to the foot of the apartment building where Fang Yichen lived, clutching a marriage contract and promising him eight figures.
All Yan Xuan had to do was pay eight figures to save face and trample Fang Yichen's dignity underfoot.
Of course. How could an esteemed councilor ever be jilted at the altar?
Fang Yichen could only sneer inwardly.
Whatever. Who would turn down money?
In public, they were a model couple. In private, Fang Yichen never once entered Yan Xuan's room.
Thinking this would put off the proud Yan Xuan, he didn't expect Yan Xuan to double down and end up getting carried away with his own act.

The person Yan Xuan had wronged most in his previous life was Fang Yichen. In the name of love, he had forced the young Alpha to give up his esports career and become his homemaker, then kicked Fang Yichen aside once he grew tired of him.
Then he realized he couldn't live without Fang Yichen. But by the time he found him, all that remained was a barren grave.
In this life, Fang Yichen was somehow completely different from before. He rejected Yan Xuan, treated him coldly, and no longer spent every day revolving around him. Yet Yan Xuan felt that he loved this version of Fang Yichen even more.
Perhaps heaven had taken pity on him. One day, Fang Yichen lost his memory.
Seizing the opportunity, Yan Xuan put on a pitiful act and tearfully told Fang Yichen, "We've been a loving married couple for three years, and you don't remember a thing? Can't you see I've been marked by you? How am I supposed to go on..."
Fang Yichen believed him and treated him especially well from then on.
Until one day, Fang Yichen was nowhere to be found at home.
He erased every trace of his existence and left the Federation for a team in the Empire, departing decisively and leaving Yan Xuan with no hope to cling to.
