Gentle older married Alpha vs. deaf, unstable, beautiful Omega
Chu Qing transmigrates into a book. If she can save the pitiful, deaf female protagonist, she can go home.
Chu Qing spends ten years watching the girl's happiness score rise. Their home changes from a cramped rental to a detached villa. She takes Mei Zhichun, a shivering little waif beneath a bridge, and raises her into the treasured young heiress the Mei family gets back.
Covered in wounds, with both legs crippled, Chu Qing watches Mei Zhichun's happiness score reach one hundred percent. Certain she has completed her mission, Chu Qing retires in triumph and jumps into the sea, hoping to return to her own world.
When she opens her eyes, the adorable girl she once found in a wretched state is clinging to her, red-eyed.
Chu Qing: This feels familiar.
How did she end up back at the time she first met the pitiful girl, ten years ago?
System: After the Host left this world, the mission target died for love. The world has restarted. Please make sure to save the heroine this time.
Chu Qing: ?
Mei Zhichun likes her?
But Chu Qing has always raised her as a little sister.
Whatever.
Given another chance, Chu Qing looks at the child, whose eyes are still clear and whose heart has not yet been moved, and makes up her mind!
This time, she absolutely must not make Mei Zhichun fall for her.
One day, Chu Qing wakes up to find Mei Zhichun beside her. As usual, she tucks the girl in, and they sleep together.
During her heat, Mei Zhichun spreads Chu Qing's clothes all over the bed and hides among them, refusing to use suppressants. Chu Qing coaxes her out and shares her pheromones to soothe her.
During her rut, Chu Qing locks herself in her room. Click! The door unlocks. When Mei Zhichun walks in, Chu Qing tells her to leave. Mei Zhichun takes off her clothes, so Chu Qing wraps her up snugly and holds her tight, telling her to stay put.
[System: Host, don't you think something is wrong here?]
Chu Qing: It's always been like this. What's the problem?
[System: There's a huge problem.]
Taking the System's advice, Chu Qing takes action in the middle of the night. She buys a pile of suppressants, starts sleeping in a separate bed, locks her clothes in a cabinet, buys a plane ticket to flee overseas, and hires a nanny for Mei Zhichun.
--Mei Zhichun's perspective--
Her sister was all alone, and they weren't related by blood, yet she had done everything for Mei Zhichun.
Mei Zhichun fell for her, but was too timid to break the status quo or confess her feelings.
As if in punishment, the day everything was finally settled, her sister left, leaving behind a letter telling her to live well and wishing her happiness.
She drifted in a daze for many days, unable to understand why her sister had chosen to die, or why she thought she could be happy without her.
So she went to join her.
In a haze, Mei Zhichun returned to the place where they first met. She saw her sister looking astonished, as if asking why she had come.
She clung to her sister, wanting to lose herself in this dream, but the pain all over her body, left from being beaten as a child for stealing food, told her this wasn't a dream.
Everything was much the same as in her previous life. The only difference was that now she did everything she could to seduce her sister, hoping she would never leave.
She secretly bought her sister a rose and carefully asked if she could stay by her side.
Her sister didn't answer.
It wasn't until she saw her sister buy another plane ticket, ready to get away from her, that Mei Zhichun turned the rose into a gold chain and clasped it around her neck, then gripped her fingers tightly.
"What do I have to do to make you stay, Sis? Should I cripple my legs, or get pregnant? You choose."
Both are reborn. ABO, no accessories. Seven-year age gap.
The author is terrible at writing blurbs. Basically, it's a bittersweet, sweet romance.
Theme: Treasure the time you have.
