Every Time I Revive, I Have to Replay My Ex-Husband's Dungeon

Blurb

Xue Lin, an experienced A-rank telekinetic and longtime office drone.

He worked diligently for twelve years. A promotion? Only in his dreams! He's still a miserable little team leader.

One ordinary afternoon spent slacking off, a bolt from the blue strikes: his ex-husband, who has been dead for seven whole years, is back to life!

Xue Lin: !! What the heck?!

Xue Lin: ...Oh, I misunderstood. It's a clone.

Xue Lin: Wait! What did you say? This thing is my direct supervisor now?! What rotten luck!

Gu Yizhou, an S-rank spatial-type human weapon.

Factory settings: terminator of high-risk missions, living radar for institutional oversight.

Glorious first-day achievement: pinned down and thoroughly beaten by his own A-rank subordinate.

Gu Yizhou: ...Very good.

Gu Yizhou: Is it bothering you that I have your ex-husband's face? Hah, bet that really gets under your skin.

Gu Yizhou: Flippant, careless, utterly undisciplined! And this kind of person was married? Unbelievable! I must keep my distance!

Then came the piercing sound of metal tearing apart...

His body was shoved away! Warm liquid splattered across Gu Yizhou's face. In his field of vision was Xue Lin's chest, pierced through.

That guy was still smiling. His voice came in broken fragments: "...How could I... not... when you look... just like him..."

Xue Lin, a compound superpowered individual who has kept his true abilities under wraps.

His real trump card is his S-rank ability, "Immortality," with the nasty side effect that every resurrection wipes his memory.

A mere fatal injury? No problem! But after rebooting, all his memories are completely erased except for his "anchor points."

So, on yet another ordinary afternoon after his resurrection:

Xue Lin: !! My ex-husband is alive?

Teammate: Stop! Hold it! You, team leader. Me, teammate. And this person, your ex-husband's clone and your current direct supervisor. Introductions over. Meeting adjourned!

Xue Lin: Oh, right! Hello! Nice to meet you! Please take good care of me!

Gu Yizhou: ...Nice to meet me? Fine. This time, I'll make sure you can't forget me even if you want to.

*

The familiar resurrection routine begins again:

Xue Lin: !! He...

Teammate: Clone. Your boss.

Xue Lin: He doesn't look like a clone... Those eyes are exactly like my ex-husband's.

Teammate: ...

Gu Yizhou: Hah.

*

When Xue Lin crawls back from death's cooldown for the Nth time:

Xue Lin: !! Um...

Gu Yizhou smiles kindly: Hello, I'm your ex-husband's clone.

Xue Lin: Huh? Really? But why do I feel...

Gu Yizhou: I don't care what you think. I care what I think: your ex-husband sure died at the perfect time.

Xue Lin: ?????

#How come you can only remember his face? What about my name?#

#It's a loop, right? Let's see who goes crazy first#
