If I Get Married Off in Your Place Again, I'll Be a Dog [Reborn]

[A hypocritical, self-righteous CEO seme with decent acting skills x a CEO uke who acts aloof but is actually a feisty little firecracker, also with decent acting skills]

At twenty-two, Xie Lingjiao, an illegitimate child of a wealthy family, takes the place of his sickly younger brother in an arranged marriage and marries Jin Yunchuan, heir to the Jin family.

By the time his real identity is exposed, everything is already set in stone.

Xie Lingjiao thinks he'll be unceremoniously sent back, but his faux husband, Jin Yunchuan, decides to go along with it.

Jin Yunchuan values Xie Lingjiao's intelligence and commercial potential, while Xie Lingjiao values his money and power.

So they hit it off at once.

In public, they put on a dazzling performance, pretending to be a loving couple;

in private, they tie their interests together and keep their feelings separate, while fiercely competing in business.

Until one day, that balance is broken.

At a contract-signing event, the two of them somehow end up in bed together.

After that, Xie Lingjiao's life becomes a living hell: a workhorse by day, a plaything by night.

Xie Lingjiao: "Damn it, no wonder that sickly little brother refused to marry him. Who could handle this level of intensity?"

-

At thirty-two, Xie Lingjiao's brakes fail on the way home, and he plunges into the sea and dies.

As he dies, he thinks, Damn, if that bastard Jin Yunchuan finds out how I kicked the bucket, he'll definitely laugh at what a loser I am!

Looking back on his short life, they were the most incompatible couple imaginable: loving in public, fighting in private, and keeping up the image of a model wealthy couple with their business partnership and their performances for outsiders.

Unexpectedly, on their tenth wedding anniversary, Xie Lingjiao dies in an accident.

When he opens his eyes again, he's gone back to before the arranged marriage.

At this point, he hasn't met Jin Yunchuan yet, nor has he been caught up in an accident after taking his brother's place, leaving him deaf in his right ear.

Most importantly, the days of being bound to Jin Yunchuan's fate and scheming and plotting against his rival in the business world haven't begun yet.

When the Jin family's marriage proposal comes to Xie Lingjiao, he refuses without a moment's hesitation.

At the same time, Jin Yunchuan hears at home that Xie Lingjiao has turned down the marriage: ...

He remembers something his wife said during one of their fights in their previous life, when he was angry: "Jin Yunchuan, if I marry you again in my next life, I'll be a dog!"

Jin Yunchuan lights a cigarette.

Come on, honey, are you serious?
