Blurb:

When Shen Yuzhu fell in love with Gu Tingbei, he wasn't Shen Yuzhu's younger brother yet.

Later, Gu Tingbei became an adopted son of the Shen family, and Shen Yuzhu completely lost his mind. He couldn't stand Gu Tingbei flirting with anyone else, and he especially couldn't stand hearing him call him "big brother."

So Shen Yuzhu used underhanded tactics to sleep with him. It was the only time Gu Tingbei ever gripped him by the throat and told him he hated him, his words carrying the weight of death. Even so, he held Shen Yuzhu down and made love to him through the night.

Later, after his father died, Shen Yuzhu used his father's last words to force Gu Tingbei into marriage, then used the Shen family's influence to make Gu Tingbei famous.

For three whole years, Gu Tingbei avoided him and refused to see him.

Shen Yuzhu had an accident while diving in the sea. As he hovered on the brink of death, he chased after a beam of light, which turned into a dream. Even in the dream, Gu Tingbei still despised him. He was indifferent to Shen Yuzhu's death, and even smashed up his grave in the dead of night. He said, "Shen Yuzhu, how could you die so easily?"

Shen Yuzhu was consumed by regret.

But could they tell reality from dreams?

Someone returned from far away to attend Shen Yuzhu's funeral. Someone wept at his grave. Someone remained unable to let go of their obsession years after his death.

And Shen Yuzhu would never know any of it.

-

In the blink of an eye, he was back ten years earlier.

He returned to the time when he had just met Gu Tingbei. This time, he stayed as far away as possible. He missed the chance to meet Gu Tingbei, avoided his attempts to please him, ignored his flirtations with others, and turned down his father's request to bring Gu Tingbei home as an adopted son.

But with the timeline shifted, Gu Tingbei's love for him only grew. No matter how much Shen Yuzhu hated him, Gu Tingbei was still willing to be the loyal puppy at his side.

"Yuzhu, I like you."

"Yuzhu, I don't want you to be my brother. I want you to be my boyfriend."

Shen Yuzhu's plan to stay away turned into a plan for revenge. Since he had nowhere to vent the grievances of the past ten years, he might as well pretend to love Gu Tingbei first, then dump him to get even.

-

When Shen Yuzhu graduated from university, he told his family he was going abroad with his roommate. Gu Tingbei congratulated him to his face one moment, then trapped him in that room the next, his eyes tearful and vicious.

"Are you so eager to run away? Shen Yuzhu! Didn't you want to get back at me? Pretending to love me and then dumping me, is that really enough to make up for your ten years of suffering?"

Only then did Shen Yuzhu realize that Gu Tingbei wore the same despairing, murderous expression as the man who had smashed his grave in his previous life.

He really wasn't the Gu Tingbei of this world!

"Big brother, I took twice the dose of my medication."

"Run. Once you leave this room, I'll let you go."

But Shen Yuzhu couldn't open the door.

Gu Tingbei pressed against him from behind, wrapping around him tightly like a vine growing out of the darkness.

"Big brother, are you still running?"

"Love me again, like you did in your previous life."

"I came for you in this life. You'll never escape me again."

-

He wasn't the only one reborn, and this wasn't the only time he had loved him.

The Runaway Omega at the Academy for Nobles

1.

Under pressure from his family, Chu Chenxing transfers to the Imperial Academy, which only trains alphas. After rescuing a bullied C-rank alpha, he offends the academy's most terrifying 4A.

When he sees Xiao Zeqian, the Imperial General's son, deliberately playing the fool while hiding his strength, Chu Chenxing suddenly remembers that night three months ago, when the alpha's intense brandy pheromones drenched him and claimed him.

Chu Chenxing thinks Xiao Zeqian remembers.

"Hello, new student."

"Can you handle the consequences of offending us?"

"Or do you like me, this C-rank alpha?"

It turns out he hasn't just forgotten. He's even been putting on an elaborate act to tease Chu Chenxing.

2.

Six months after enrolling, Chu Chenxing becomes Xiao Zeqian's number-one nemesis.

They can't stand each other, and they always tie for first place on the monthly academic rankings. That is, until rumors spread around the academy that an omega is pretending to be an alpha to attend school.

Xiao Zeqian discovers Chu Chenxing secretly using omega suppressants. He pushes open the door to the lounge and embraces Chu Chenxing from behind. "Found you."

He marks him again.

The scent of brandy and lavender blend together.

After a wild night, Xiao Zeqian forgets him again. But the alpha, who suffers from skin hunger, begins to become obsessed with the scent of lavender.

3.

Chu Chenxing plans to drop out.

The academy doesn't want to lose an S-rank alpha, so it turns to the 4A for help.

"Give him something he wants."

"Money? A house?"

Xiao Zeqian comes up with a better idea. "Give him a person."

Chu Chenxing receives news of an arranged marriage set up by his family. With an unborn child in tow, he flees at full speed that very night on a green train. In the end, Xiao Zeqian never finds Chu Chenxing at the final station. The train has been in an accident, and all he finds among the wreckage are the remains of an S-rank omega.
