Gu Yanchen is reborn, and as luck would have it, he wakes up exactly one month before his wife, General Shen Shubai, is about to acknowledge him and their child.
In his previous life, Gu Yanchen was too proud to accept Shen Shubai's money and power, which he considered an "insult," and died a miserable death.
In this life, Gu Yanchen has had a change of heart and plans to live differently. After all, who would turn down money?
During that month, Gu Yanchen quits his job and devotes all his energy to working out, beauty treatments, and learning how to please his future sugar daddy.
His friends see him acting completely out of character, preening like a peacock, and grin knowingly. "The economy's bad, and raising a kid alone isn't easy. So you've finally decided to go into business?"
Gu Yanchen has no idea how to explain that, in a month, Earth will be invaded by a species that divides its sexes according to the ABO system. He has even less idea how to explain that his mysteriously missing ex-wife is the species' current general and heir to the imperial throne.
All he can do is answer with a straight face: "Aliens are going to attack Earth, so I'm going to run to be their crown princess."
His friends laugh so hard they double over, thinking he's lost his mind.
Then, a month later, the ABO aliens really do conquer Earth, and their general Shen Shubai's ex-husband turns out to be Gu Yanchen?!
Friends: ...
Is it too late for them to cozy up to Gu Yanchen now?
-
As Gu Yanchen expected, their first reunion is exactly the same as it was in his previous life. Shen Shubai stands before a space fleet in a crisp military uniform, arrogant and cold-blooded. She glances at him and looks away, as if she doesn't even know him.
But their second reunion is completely different from what happened in his previous life.
Late at night, Gu Yanchen watches in disbelief as his usually aloof and solitary general wife, Shen Shubai, climbs over the wall and onto his balcony.
Shen Shubai walks straight up to him and pulls down her uniform, baring her slender neck. "Husband, come bite me."
Gu Yanchen: ...?
Why isn't this how he imagined it? Shouldn't she be pointing a gun at him and telling him to take the money and do his job, without getting any foolish ideas?
Why is she acting cold and pretending not to know him during the day, then climbing over walls for secret meetings at night?
#In his previous life, he was a fool who chose love over money. This time, he's finally come to his senses!
#She could easily use the front door, but his wife insists on sneaking in through the window. Is that some kind of kink?
