Face-Conscious, Tsundere General X Scheming, Handsome Prince
Xia Shi'an was born into a family of generals. He was noble by birth, dressed in fine clothes, and rode fine horses.
One day, he discovered that his dreams could predict the future. No matter what trouble he encountered, he could find the answer in his dreams.
But only a few days later, the ability stopped working when he slept at home.
With no other choice, he went to the prince's residence. The moment he saw his one and only rival, the prince, he plastered on a fake smile and pestered him to practice archery, play chess, and admire the moon. Once night fell and all was quiet, he climbed into the other man's bed.
"This general is sleeping right here. If you dare refuse, I'll tie you up like a bundle!"
Chu Yunxi refused to back down. He flipped up the quilt and wrapped Xia Shi'an in it like a burrito. "And then? What do you want to do?"

The person Chu Yunxi most wanted to grow closer to had moved into his residence. But going from being unable to stand the sight of each other straight to sharing a bed left him completely at a loss.
Even more devastating, he began having bizarre, absurd dreams.
He couldn't speak of these dreams: they were full of entwined bodies and intimate caresses. Yet the most terrifying part wasn't the dreams themselves. It was the culprit lying beside him, who swore that the dreams showed things that would happen in the future.
Chu Yunxi was eager, yet somewhat reluctant, and desperately wanted to see what happened after that night. He never expected that, in the great hall, Xia Shi'an would rather die than acknowledge him.
When he awoke with a start, he panicked and pulled the person beside him into his arms. Only then did he realize he could no longer bear to have the other man even half a step away.

Xia Shi'an fell into a long, long nightmare.
In the dream, the Xia family was destroyed, and he ended his life in a cage. At last, he understood that these so-called prophetic dreams were nothing more than the path he had walked in his previous life.
Having finally seen the truth, Xia Shi'an looked at the man who had plotted to keep him by his side.
Seeing how tenderly the man treated him, and fearing that Xia Shi'an might truly run away one day, he smiled and took the initiative, pressing himself against him.
"Don't worry. I've decided to cling to you."
"But I still prefer the crazier version of you from my previous life."

Everyone at school said that Luo Yuli, the campus heartthrob, and the Omega from the School of Fine Arts were a match made in heaven. Their pheromones, white pine and orange blossom, were more than 90% compatible.
Yu Xian didn't agree, especially since his compatibility with Luo Yuli was 88%. Having believed since childhood that he should go after what he wanted, Yu Xian was good-looking and came from a good family. It only took a few days of effort to snatch the campus heartthrob away from that storybook romance.
Yu Xian had thought his charm could overcome that 2% difference. But seven years into their marriage, he was still living in the shadow of that Omega, constantly being compared to him.
The other man was a red-hot stylist, while Yu Xian was a famous resource-backed star known as a pretty face.
His relationship with Luo Yuli grew increasingly dull, yet full of conflict.
Reborn, he decided to let Luo Yuli go, and to let himself go, too. He walked past the two of them and lived in his own world, becoming the dream Omega everyone admired from afar.
He was still the same Yu Xian who went after what he wanted, and he never slacked off in his studies, his work, or his acting. But why was that Omega still giving him a hard time over Luo Yuli?
After accidentally witnessing the other man fail to win someone over, Yu Xian realized he had never had the chance to mock him like this in his previous life.
"Don't blame the road for being uneven. You're just not good enough."
Later, he unexpectedly discovered that Luo Yuli was secretly supporting research into modifying pheromones, and suddenly understood another truth: what's mine is still mine.
The sun was shining, and the room was bright and spotless. Yu Xian beckoned to the meticulous man with a finger.
The man looked surprised and a little flustered, but still clasped Yu Xian tightly around the waist. "Didn't you say you don't like Alphas like me?"
Yu Xian chuckled and tapped the man's lips. "You're the one who made the first move."
Theme: Young people never lack the courage to start over.
