Married first, love later ○ Secret love comes true ○ Mortal enemies ○ Mutual salvation ○ Powerful families
★ Resilient, sunny, tragically beautiful omega × Scheming, gloomy, possessive alpha with a malevolent-ghost vibe
Shen Yanqing is a low-grade omega.
In his previous life, he was deceived by a scumbag, drained dry by his parasitic family, and murdered by a hired killer.
Reborn, Shen Yanqing decides to take down the scumbag, escape his family of origin, and find the real culprit, all in one go.
A freeloading younger brother, a mother who sucks him dry, and a scumbag who thinks he's deeply in love: whoever comes, he'll take them down. If they come as a pair, he'll take them both down.
His motto: if he can't have a good time, neither can anyone else!
But then something ridiculous happens. Before he's even figured out the first step of his revenge plan, his mortal enemy slaps two marriage certificates down in front of him and says they're married!!
Shen Yanqing is dumbfounded:
Wait, what? Is this like losing your ID and waking up to find yourself married??
Shen Yanqing is just about to question him when his cold-faced mortal enemy's eyes turn red in an instant. He bursts into tears, looking heartbreakingly lovely.
Choking back sobs, he accuses Shen Yanqing of not loving him.
He asks if Shen Yanqing thinks he's not good enough to show off.
Looking at that devastatingly handsome face, Shen Yanqing thinks: Bro, are you serious? Aren't we mortal enemies?!
The doctor arrives just in time to tell them:
Shen Yanqing has amnesia.
Shen Yanqing: I was reborn, married my mortal enemy, and now I've suddenly lost my memory?!
Shen Yanqing plays along, using his "husband's" influence to make his revenge go smoothly.
Qi Wenye also plays the devoted husband to perfection, indulging his every whim and protecting him so thoroughly that nothing can get through.
Until one day, Shen Yanqing discovers the truth in a hidden room in the study:
Two expertly forged marriage certificates,
A detailed investigation report on the car accident that killed him in his previous life,
And row upon row of surveillance recordings, labeled and documenting everything he likes.

In his previous life, Qi Wenye's psychological issues made him feel unworthy. In the clumsiest way possible, he pushed Shen Yanqing away, only to be left with a cold ending.
After being reborn, Qi Wenye loses all sense of reason.
To hell with his illness! He wants Shen Yanqing for the rest of his life. He wants his own name in Shen Yanqing's spouse field.
He tricks Shen Yanqing into thinking he's lost his memory, uses fake certificates to trick him into marriage, and gradually severs his ties with his family.
Watching Shen Yanqing slowly fall for him and grow to depend on him fills Qi Wenye with a sick, ecstatic satisfaction that makes him tremble with happiness.
Even if this happiness is stolen.
Until one day, Shen Yanqing slaps the two fake certificates down in front of him.
Qi Wenye stops hiding the truth. He takes the anklet he'd prepared long ago from a hidden compartment, pulls Shen Yanqing tightly into his arms, and kisses him until his legs go weak. Then he says hoarsely:
If I give you all of myself, will that be real enough?
Shen Yanqing only smiles. Mortal enemy, if you're going to trick me into marriage, at least do it properly. When are you replacing the fake certificates with real ones?
