Back to My Cold Wife's Youth

Yang Min married his subordinate, Li Youxi, because of his pheromone-rampage disorder. After they married, his wife was very cold toward him. During treatment, she always gritted her teeth and endured it, burying her face when she couldn’t take any more. He thought his wife wasn’t happy with him, that she was even suffering, and that he should let her go. But when he brought up divorce, Li Youxi was deeply hurt and upset. Yang Min had been clever all his life, but he couldn’t understand his wife. Not until he was reborn ten years in the past. Back then, Li Youxi was still in high school. His school uniform had faded white from too many washes, and he used cheap suppressants to pass himself off as a Beta. Every day, he had a different bruise on his face, and every time he opened his mouth, his words were barbed. “Hey, you’ve been following me for three days. Are you here to buy something or collect a debt?” Yang Min met Li Youxi’s wary gaze. He was so thin the school uniform hung off him, yet he put on a careless, defiant act. It made Yang Min ache for him, while also leaving him dazzled. Like a kitten hissing. * Li Youxi met a strange man who insisted on becoming his investor. The man covered his tuition and living expenses, and even prepared a clean, quiet place for him to study. He also dealt with his father and the debt collectors without making a sound. The man had an unbelievably good temper, too. Even when Li Youxi ordered him around, he never got angry, only indulging him without limits. Li Youxi should have been wary, but without realizing it, he came to trust the man and regard him as a father or older brother, with gratitude and affection. But when his pheromones went out of control, he called the man “Uncle” even as he clung to him with both arms and legs, begging to be marked. After that, he started having some very explicit dreams. In the dreams, he was an employee at Yang Min’s company, constantly being pulled into someone’s arms in all sorts of places and thoroughly taken in every way imaginable. The breath against his skin and the force that held him in place felt as if he’d experienced them firsthand. They were so real they made his face burn, and he could no longer face Yang Min. He wanted to hide away and clear his head, but he was soon caught and brought back. Yang Min’s gentleness and indulgence had already drawn him into a tightly woven net. He controlled every aspect of Li Youxi’s life, from food and clothing to travel, and even knew exactly who Li Youxi spoke to each day and what they said. At first, Li Youxi was annoyed by it. Then a secret hope crept in, and he began to wonder if Yang Min’s control over him was the same as in his dreams. But after moving into a luxurious, secluded villa halfway up the mountain, he dreamed that Yang Min handed him divorce papers. Memories of his previous life flooded back in an instant. He realized that Yang Min had done all of it just to treat his illness, and that once he was cured, Yang Min would divorce him… Bonus scene: Everyone knew that when Yang Min, the new head of the Yang family, was still trying to establish his position, he already had a beautiful, pampered Omega by his side. The Omega was hot-tempered, arrogant, and picky, and very difficult to keep happy. But Yang Min enjoyed every minute of it. He was delighted with the way his wife had been spoiled by him. He had control over every aspect of Li Youxi’s life, while Li Youxi would blush and order him around, telling him how deep and fast to go. So adorable. It was only later that Yang Min learned Li Youxi hadn’t been cold toward him in his previous life. He had agreed to marry him because he loved him. 【A seemingly aloof and distant but secretly proud, clingy bottom × a seemingly gentle top with an intense need for control and anxiety about the age gap】 Dining notes: 1. Both leads are each other’s first and only partner, first love, and first kiss. No breaking them up, reversing the roles, fantasizing about others, replacing them, or shipping other pairings. The couple will be sweet and affectionate. 2. They have a ten-year age gap. Their romance develops only after the bottom is an adult. 3. Min is pronounced with a rising tone. 4. Bonus chapters include pregnancy. An alternate-timeline bonus where he isn’t reborn includes him running away while pregnant. 5. More to come.
