[My husband tormented me until I went to the rooftop to kill myself. When I turned around, I found my ex there too.]
[Blurb:]
Before the age of twenty-two, Sheng Mian had everything.
He had looks, family background, and status. He lacked nothing in any of those areas. On top of that, Sheng Mian had a perfect top-tier Alpha boyfriend.
Sheng Mian never doubted their love, because Gu Yanze loved him so much.
When they were dating, the thing Gu Yanze said most often was, "Baby, I want to give you an even better life than the one you have now."
Gu Yanze crouched down and kissed the back of his hand. Sheng Mian was the only one reflected in his deep eyes. He said, "Mianmian, I love you."
Gu Yanze really did deliver. He was the most outstanding Alpha of their generation. Sheng Mian had always firmly believed he and Gu Yanze would go from campus to marriage.
Until his family told him to marry another powerful alpha.
Sheng Mian had always been a good child, but for the first time, he resisted his family's arrangement. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he refused to give in. He thought that if he just held his ground, the whole matter would eventually pass.
But Gu Yanze broke up with him. Just as Sheng Mian was exhausted from fighting with his family, his beloved told him it was over.
Sheng Mian was in so much pain that he wanted to die. The sudden breakup gave rise to an absurd and foolish idea: he wanted to use a child to make Gu Yanze stay.
He used the excuse of seeing Gu Yanze one last time before the breakup to invite him out, then slipped drugs into his drink when he wasn't looking. Before Sheng Mian could process what was happening, they were in bed together.
The drug wasn't actually that potent, but Sheng Mian didn't know why Gu Yanze was so intense that night. As they clung to each other, something warm seemed to drip into the hollow of Sheng Mian's shoulder.
As expected, Sheng Mian got pregnant.
He happily took his prenatal checkup form to find Gu Yanze, only to learn that Gu Yanze had enlisted.
Sheng Mian's omega father stepped forward and looked at him coldly, his words as heartless as he was. "He's gone. Do you still not understand why?"
"He doesn't want to acknowledge this child, Sheng Mian. Get rid of it."
Sheng Mian felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.
Later, he married another alpha, just as his family wanted. Like all omega wives, Sheng Mian maintained the appearance of a marriage. But his situation was even more miserable.
His husband hated him, and Sheng Mian could no longer have children.
They had been married for four years, and Li Zhuo had tormented him for three and a half of them. It was laughable: Li Zhuo himself had come to propose to the Sheng family back then.
At the time, he had seemed to like Sheng Mian very much.
But there was no point bringing that up now... Sheng Mian sat by the bed, practicedly rubbing ointment over the bruises and bite marks on his body.
He thought this was how his life would be from then on, as a useless, worthless omega, until he met Gu Yanze again.
Gu Yanze, who had become an Alliance general at the age of twenty-eight.
Sheng Mian was covered in scars, while Gu Yanze was decorated with military honors. Sheng Mian had never imagined having anything to do with him again... but he didn't know why Gu Yanze had begun to force his way into his chaotic life.
He kissed Sheng Mian's wounds, crying, and apologized again and again. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, baby..."
"I thought you would have a better life if you married him. I was wrong."
Sheng Mian blinked mechanically. Gu Yanze probably wanted to make up for something, too, but it was too late.
On a quiet, rainy night, Sheng Mian raised the gun he had prepared for so long and aimed it at his husband. Six bullets, and not one missed.
By the time Gu Yanze heard the news and arrived, Li Zhuo was unconscious in a pool of blood. Sheng Mian sat on the large bed with his knees drawn up, staring at her husband, whose life or death was uncertain, lost in thought.
Gu Yanze's voice trembled. He stepped through the pool of blood, trying to approach Sheng Mian. "Mianmian, put down the gun..."
Hearing his voice, Sheng Mian's lashes trembled blankly. Then he looked at Gu Yanze with a dazed expression, staring for a long time before suddenly smiling and asking him:
"Who are you?"
His smile was beautiful. Two little dimples rested in his cheeks, and the soft light shone on his pale, delicate face, making him look like a magnolia swaying in the breeze.
But in that very moment, Gu Yanze felt his heart and soul shatter.
Because Sheng Mian had forgotten everything.
He had gone completely mad.
Both leads are virgins; Alpha and Omega pairing; one-on-one ending.
Both tops get their own crematorium, but one of them has burned to ashes.
Extremely, extremely melodramatic. A guilty-pleasure toilet read, written for my own enjoyment.
Theme: Never give up on life.
