A Classic Angsty Chase After the Wife

Coming Soon: [After Faking His Death, the Ruthless Top Regrets It] --Blurb-- A gentle, rational beauty bottom X a powerful top who pursues his wife across two lifetimes and ends up in a world of regret in one Shen Yu was Zong Chu's lover for five years. He was young, beautiful, and considerate, the perfect replacement. On Shen Yu's twenty-third birthday, Zong Chu was attending the coming-of-age party for Xia Shiran, the young master of the Xia family, who was turning twenty-two. Xia Shiran was Zong Chu's well-known "white moonlight." Everyone in their circle said the eldest Zong son doted on him and planned to give him a title tonight. As for Shen Yu? He was just a plaything to pass the time. Still, the plaything was easy on the eyes, so Zong Chu had kept him around for a few extra years. They didn't wait for Xia Shiran to be given a title. Instead, they got a phone call from Shen Yu, hundreds of kilometers away. Someone nearby spotted Shen Yu's name and teased, "Calling to demand an explanation?" Zong Chu spun his lighter and laughed. "He's young and clingy." Shen Yu said, "Goodbye, Mr. Zong." The media later reported that before the banquet, attended by most of North City's elite, had even ended, the usually polished head of the Zong family stormed out, his face dark and his hands covered in blood. Clutching his phone, he rasped out threat after threat: "Shen Yu, what the hell do you mean? Say something! You'd better fucking talk to me!" The young man who had been with Fifth Master Zong of North City for five years was dead. His name became an unspeakable secret among the city's elite for three years. Reborn, Shen Yu wants to live differently. Leaving Zong Chu is the first thing he'll do. Content warning: In his previous life, the top was cruel and ruthless, loved the bottom to the depths of his soul, had an overwhelming possessive streak, was ruthless, arrogant, and conceited. After he is reborn, he'll beg on his knees. (In case anyone argues, this is after the top regains his memories.) 1. People who don't cherish what they have don't deserve forgiveness. Both leads died in their previous life; this time, it has a happy ending. 2. The bottom isn't love-brained. 3. I want to tell a complete story. I won't add angst just for the sake of it or push the plot forward by making characters act out of character. There'll be plenty of sweetness, but the top is insanely possessive of the bottom and will never let go, even in death. That won't change, before or after they start over. You can tell this is an old-school angsty romance, right, babies? If that's not for you, do yourself and me a favor and skip it! Coming Soon: Everyone in District Five knows that Young Master Zheng has a lover. Cool and reserved, always dressed in a white lab coat. If anyone so much as looks at him for too long, Young Master Zheng will smile and take their life. Zhao Zhexuan's life should have passed quietly at the research institute. The only unexpected turn came when he met Zheng Shaokang outside school, his eyes bloodshot from a fight. The 6'3" youth had his fingers threaded into his slightly wavy, middle-parted hair. Licking the blood from the corner of his mouth, he asked, "Good-looking, huh?" Zhao Zhexuan should have known Zheng Shaokang was crazy. When he discovered Zheng Shaokang's debauched lifestyle, Zhao Zhexuan remained calm. He left divorce papers behind, only for his car to be forced to a stop at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains that very night. The man pinned him against the hood and murmured, "Brother Xuan, do you want my life?" Zhao Zhexuan's heart softened. Later, he realized that Zheng Shaokang was the one who wanted his life. Zheng Shaokang hid the drug's side effects, suppressed the one and only CCI report of his life, and blocked his close friend and teacher from making progress. Zhao Zhexuan personally dealt him a death sentence. In a video, he watched the mad dog from his past stare with bloodshot eyes, cautiously whispering as he clung to the coffin lid: "Brother Xuan, look at me." Then he boarded a plane to M Country. One-on-one, equally matched, each other's first love An eight-pack, clingy-to-the-bottom, crazy beauty of a top? A cool, composed researcher bottom Angst, angst, angst! Includes fake death, running away while pregnant, and other tropes. Theme: Stay positive and persevere, no matter what hardships you face.
