Character Prologues........

1.🌼 Rui Yi Cheng🌼 – The Substitute Who Chose Himself

They said he was lucky—marrying into the powerful Ming family.

But Rui Yi Cheng had never felt lucky.

Not when he waited at an empty dinner table.

Not when he was dressed in someone else’s favorite colors.

Not when the man he loved smiled… but never at him.

He had once called it love.

Now, he calls it survival.

His silence was mistaken for acceptance.

His patience, for weakness.

But silence doesn't mean he didn’t feel.

He just bled quietly.

And when he died, it wasn’t anger he carried.

It was grief—for a love never returned, and a child never born.

Now, reborn ten days before his death, he carries only one vow:

“This time, I’ll love myself first.”

2.🌼 Ming Yu Yuan🌼 – The Alpha Who Realized Too Late

He was always in control.

In business, in image, in every quiet breath he took.

Except with him.

Rui Yi Cheng was quiet, obedient, soft-spoken.

Too soft for someone like Ming Yu Yuan to notice—until it was too late.

He didn’t remember the warmth of his hands.

Only the way they stopped holding him.

He didn’t remember the meals.

Only the day the chair across from him stayed empty.

And he didn’t know what love looked like…

Until it died in front of him.

Now, he wakes to an emptiness no wealth can fill.

“If I see him again... will it be too late to choose him?”

🌼Yi Ran🌼 – The Sweetness That Turned Bitter

He had the world’s sympathy.

A delicate male omega.

A tragic past.

A soft voice and softer tears.

He stayed close to Yu Yuan, always in his shadow, always playing the part of someone fragile and good.

But sweetness, too, can spoil.

Jealousy curdled behind that citrus scent.

Possession grew where love once bloomed.

And when he couldn’t have the heart…

He settled for the space around it.

He smiled at Rui Yi Cheng with kind eyes—

But underneath, he whispered:

“You were never meant to stay.”

🌼Mu Chen🌼 – The Constant

Others called him stubborn.

Yi Cheng called him home.

He wasn’t rich.

Wasn’t famous.

Didn’t own powerful titles or expensive cologne.

But he had always been there.

When Yi Cheng cried quietly in the guest bedroom.

When he stared too long at untouched gifts.

When he smiled too brightly to hide the cracks.

Mu Chen stayed.

And when Yi Cheng died, he mourned more deeply than the one who married him.

Now, with a second chance, he’s here again.

No expectations. No demands. Just this:

“I’ll stand beside you—until you can walk on your own again.”

🌼Han Jun🌼 – The One Who Watched

He was the outsider.

The sharp-eyed heir of the Han Group.

A dominant omega in a world of dominant alphas and passive tradition.

He watched as his best friend destroyed something precious.

He saw what others didn’t—

The way Rui Yi Cheng flinched but smiled.

The way Yu Yuan’s silence became a blade.

He spoke little, but he knew much.

And when the time comes, he won’t let history repeat.

Especially when his own unexpected feelings begin to bloom…

“I never meant to fall for someone like Mu Chen… but here I am.”
