My Love Rival’s Gaze Changed After I Was Reborn

Coming next: The Beautiful Beta Caught the Eye of a Top Alpha. Blurb below.

Su Ge's family went bankrupt. His father went to prison, his mother was hospitalized, and his older brother was running around asking everyone for help, too overwhelmed to care about him.

After Su Ge was kidnapped, the person who came to save him turned out to be his rival in love, Sheng Xingjian.

Covered in wounds, Sheng Xingjian fled through the rainstorm with him. Su Ge accidentally stepped into thin air and plunged into the freezing river.

"No! Sheng Xingjian!" Su Ge watched helplessly as Sheng Xingjian jumped in after him.

Just before losing consciousness, Su Ge felt the strength of Sheng Xingjian's arm around him and the gentleness of a kiss against his lips.

Su Ge was reborn, returning to the first day of his senior year of high school, three years earlier.

Before he was reborn, the girl he liked had a crush on Sheng Xingjian. So he secretly treated Sheng Xingjian as a rival and never gave him the time of day. He even sabotaged him behind his back.

After being reborn, Su Ge decided to repay Sheng Xingjian for saving his life. He approached him of his own accord and kept taking his side. Gradually, he realized that Sheng Xingjian's gaze had changed.

Sheng Xingjian had hurt his lower back. He lifted his shirt in pain and said to Su Ge, "It hurts. Rub it for me."

Su Ge didn't think much of it and rubbed his back.

Sheng Xingjian went searching for a cat with Su Ge, and they got trapped on a rooftop. He pulled Su Ge into his arms and held him close. "It's cold. It'll be warmer if we hug."

Su Ge thought he had a point, so he hugged him.

To make the girl who liked him give up, Sheng Xingjian kissed Su Ge on the cheek, then said solemnly, "It's just a favor between friends. You don't mind, right?"

"..." Su Ge kept reminding himself that Sheng Xingjian had saved his life and put up with it.

Su Ge realized that things were going more and more differently this time around. How could the aloof top student he'd imagined be a shameless person who pretended to be honest and pitiful but was actually a scheming green tea?

Until one day, Sheng Xingjian pushed Su Ge into a corner. "I kissed your cheek last time. Can I kiss your lips this time?"

"No way." Su Ge refused with righteous conviction.

"Do you know how you should repay someone for saving your life?" Sheng Xingjian leaned down and kissed him.

Dazed by the kiss, Su Ge thought: You're supposed to repay someone who saves your life by giving yourself to him. I just wrapped myself up and handed myself over to Sheng Xingjian.

Upcoming novel:

Fang Zhi'an is a quiet and exceptionally beautiful Beta. He spends half his day working, and the rest of his time attending class, sleeping, and caring for his frail older brother and young sister. His father drinks, gambles, and beats the family. Fang Zhi'an has to protect his siblings and occasionally fight off debt collectors who come to the door.

He's like a machine with no sense of self, just running without the need for feelings.

After a misunderstanding, he got into a fight with a tall man. His opponent was agile, and in the struggle, Fang Zhi'an knocked off his baseball cap, revealing a face he had often seen on Alliance military recruitment posters.

---Lu Heng. Fang Zhi'an knew the name. The Alliance military's top Alpha, its youngest major, and the man every Omega in the Alliance wanted to marry.

After they cleared up the misunderstanding, Lu Heng began appearing beside Fang Zhi'an all the time: in the classroom where Fang Zhi'an attended class, at the place where he worked, while Fang Zhi'an fought off debt collectors, and when someone confessed their feelings to him.

"If anyone else pursues you, tell them you have a boyfriend."

"I don't have one."

"You will soon."

Fang Zhi'an didn't understand what Lu Heng meant. He only knew Lu Heng showed up too often, so often that Fang Zhi'an wondered if the man had been kicked out of the Alliance military and suddenly had all this time to spend around him.

Until one day, Lu Heng asked him, "I've been pursuing you for so long. Will you be my boyfriend?"

"When have you been pursuing me?" Fang Zhi'an asked in bewilderment. Then he added, "But I'm a Beta."

Lu Heng: "I love you. It has nothing to do with your gender."

Fang Zhi'an, slow to understand his own feelings, was won over by Major Lu. But while Lu Heng didn't care about gender or status, the Lu family cared very much. They set their schemes in motion, and in the end, Fang Zhi'an lost the child he was carrying, while Lu Heng's gland was damaged and he was taken away by the military. The two were forced apart.

For the next three years, Fang Zhi'an could only see Lu Heng in military news. Lu Heng earned one distinguished victory after another and rose through the ranks, living in glory. But all Fang Zhi'an wanted to know was whether his gland had healed and whether he had been hurt in battle.

It wasn't until the military reported that Lu Heng was going to marry that Fang Zhi'an finally understood. They could never overcome the gap in status or their mismatched genders. Lu Heng no longer belonged to him.
