[Main Story: Bad Ending | Rebirth Bonus Story: Happy Ending]
Top Alpha Lu Chen has kept Shen Zhiyu in his heart since he was young. This marriage, which began with a forced marking, is the desperate, obsessive gamble he made.
He takes care of all the housework, gives away his entire fortune, and devotes all his tenderness to atoning for his sins, quietly standing by an Omega whose heart has been barren for eight years.
He watches him drown in the past, watches him remain cold and distant, and watches him finally lower his guard and develop the first stirrings of belated affection.
But fate suddenly deals a crushing blow: a terminal illness takes hold, and there is no cure.
He cruelly pushes away the lover who has only just fallen for him, sends away the young child who depends on him, and disappears from the world alone, quietly approaching his end.
He leaves a will giving away everything he owns, wishing only for his lover to let go of the past, find someone else, and live the rest of his life without worry.
Only when the hospital's cold call comes does Shen Zhiyu finally understand.
The fading pheromones, the deliberate coldness and distance: all of it was his lover silently enduring his illness and making sacrifices for him.
He has only just learned to reach for love, but now he can only hold on to a heart full of regret, care for their young child, and spend the rest of his life alone.
Main story ending: A lifetime of regret, separated by life and death, with only longing for the years to come.
Theme: Cherish everything you have in the present
