My Widowed Sister-in-Law Was Being Bled Dry, and I Got So Mad I Came Back to Life

Pei Ran transmigrated into the body of a lord on a remote planet in an insectoid world. He had always thought that Colonel Wen Te of Lankana Star was his mortal enemy. The people of Lankana Star called him the leader of the rebels, while his foe was one of the dazzling twin stars of the military. Whenever they met, they fought, hunting each other down. In the end, he really did die at the colonel's hands. But for some inexplicable reason, his soul did not return to Earth. Instead, it was tied to the colonel by a red thread, and stayed by his side for seven years. Killing him did not bring Colonel Wen a brilliant future. His family arranged for him to marry a noble male insect, but the marriage was unhappy. After his egg was tortured to death, he killed his male spouse in revenge and was ultimately sent to prison. Cast aside by his family, disabled, and with his mindscape deteriorating by the day, he was abandoned in a derelict little building to waste away. Seeing his nemesis reduced to this, Pei Ran came to terms with things. Until one day, he heard Brownie mumbling in his sleep. The wooden box Brownie guarded day and night did not hold his teacher, his unborn egg, or even his abusive scumbag husband. It held the enemy he'd once fought to the death: notes about Pei Ran. Pei Ran: ... Starting over in a new life, Pei Ran took the initiative and made the rumors from his past life come true. He killed the teacher Colonel Wen adored and destroyed his brilliant future. He thought they'd be sworn enemies once again, but then a blooming rose arrived from distant Lankana Star. Pei Ran: Good. Colonel Wen, you've caught my attention again. #I thought we were mortal enemies, but it turns out we're caught in a sea of love and hate #I hate how foolish, stiff, and clueless about romance I am. I buried my feelings before I even knew they were there Reading guide: Both leads are exclusive to each other. The shou has only ever been with the gong in either life. The dead egg belonged to the gong, but the gong doesn't know. I'm terrible at writing blurbs. This is really just a love story about a couple: one has the hardest mouth in the world, loves to overthink (his mind can churn out an eight-hundred-word essay in a second), and speaks before he thinks when triggered; the other is emotionally oblivious but quick to act, clumsy with words but quick to take his clothes off.
