You guys will have to machine translate it. But it’s actually readable compared to other Korean BL novels. You guys can skip the spoilers down below if you are planning to read the novel.
So, the ML becomes the most humble guy in the current timeline. MC is “always first” in his book now. ML loves the MC a lot and regrets what happen in the past/1st timeline.
This is just the basic main points of the current timeline.
- ML likes kids but doesn’t want them because MC was pregnant with their kid before MC commited suicide. He believe he doesn’t deserve it after what happen.
- MC likes to read at the greenhouse and the ML allows him the freedom to do so
- One day MC goes to ML’s study and sees ML holding a gun. ML says the gun has no bullets. And MC asks why he has it as it is illegal. ML says grandpa gives it to him as a gift. ML also says something along the lines of the gun being using for something he regrets I think?
- ML hires a bodyguard for him, and this bodyguard use to be the captain of the ML’s defense team, but due to scandals caused by jealousy from his colleagues, he was fired (thus ML gave him a second chance; this is why don’t judge a book by its cover guys!! ML isn’t a bad person, just a human who made mistakes)
- MC and bodyguard were not on good terms at first but overtime they become good friends
- MC enters his first heat in the greenhouse one day, and not surprisingly ML shows up
- they do the snu snu, and ML was super super gentle and considerate of the MC (in comparison with the past timeline where the ML was rough with the MC)
- MC and ML attend the grandfather’s birthday of ML’s side and they meet rapist (ML’s brother)
- ML brother purposfully spills wine on MC, and offers to help. MC being a doormat (ugh) he follows him to the restroom where the rapist tries to rape MC.
- bodyguard informs ML, and ML comes to the rescue and bears the shit out of MC
- fast forward >>>> the same scenario happens where the stolen document case appears again
- MC is very hesitant, but still steals the document in the end. MC goes into estrus and ML shows up again. ML and MC does snu-snu once more.
- when MC wakes up, ML is holding the document in his hands. MC is in shock, but I believe ML doesn’t do anything and even gives him a USB. ML asks of the MC to take the USB to the ML’s secretary for him.
- MC in the end doesn’t give the document in the end nor even tamper with the USB. MC does get bitch slap by his shitty father though for failing.
-MC tries to go to his apartment to avoid ML seeing him, but ML is standing outside of his apartment complex with an umbrella. ML asks what happen, and MC says he fell. ML doesn’t speak further but comforts MC. Later on, ML harasses the shitty father 10 fold I believe.
- Fast forward >>>> ML suggests MC to do perfuming, to give him something to do in the future and to fulfill Mc’s dream. ML hires a teacher and MC learns how to become a perfumist.
- MC wants to make a perfume of his pheromones to give to the ML. And to make a perfume of ML’s pheromones for himself.
- ML then gives a company to the MC that has to do with perfumes. All the rights are handed over to MC and ML is just the investor.
- MC then questions ML why he keeps giving him things, and why he is so considerate and nice. ML just says he wants to gain a favor from the MC.
- fast forward >>>>> ML grandpa dies and ML’s brother goes missing. ML brother was deemed dead due to drowning (ofc ML killed him). Furthermore, MC’s father and other corrupt company members are arrested for fraud and embezzlement of company funds. MC has nothing to do with this as he did resign from his post in the beginning.
- ML asks MC for a dinner date. MC is nervous but says okay. ML says he wants to break the engagement and wants MC to freely do what he wants to do. MC is very upset after this.
- MC goes home and packs his things angrily. And then stops and storms into ML’s study where he sees Ml holding the “same” gun that was used in the past timeline
-MC says he doesn’t want to break up with the ML and asks why he was so nice to him in the first place if he was gonna leave him in the end!? MC and ML argue for a bit, MC says something and tried to leave and ML grabs him. They have angry snu-snu (not rape). ML permanently marks him and this is when MC remembers the past timeline
- the mark gave him back his memories, and is why ML tries to avoid marking MC
-MC leaves in the end, and ML let’s him
- MC and ML don’t meet for awhile, until MC meets him at the perfume company as business partners
-MC has not forgiven ML and tries to shoo him away, ML keeps coming back (yeah it’s chasing the wife scenario)
- fast forward >>> on the last day they meet up one more time, where MC forgives ML and ML cries like a bitch. (Honestly this was very adorable though) ML keeps crying as MC asks them to be lovers again.
- also if MC decided not to forgive ML, ML was planning to kill himself. MC reprimanded after they got back together tho.
-they have makeup sex and live happily ever after.
-extras are just the POV of the ML.
BIG spoilers
So after reading the novel, I’ve come to the conclusion the ML is actually not a bad person. This story is another case of “misunderstandings”. Sigh…MC is a doormat and the ML is too arrogant and prideful in the first timeline.
Here are the Main Points of the storyline:
- MC has these nightmares where he dreams of being “raped” which actually happened in the 1st timeline. This was mainly caused by the ML’s brother.
- MC is someone who longs for familial love, and makes decisions that is questionable and quite frustrating to me
- ML is arrogant and only marries the MC in the first timeline because he wants to absorb the company that belongs to MC’s family
(1st timeline)
- MC and ML actually get married! It was on the news outlets and was announced to the public. ML is a fucking asshole here tho, making demands out of the MC before the wedding.
- MC and ML arrive home after the wedding where they do not consummate the wedding. The ML tells MC, “your room is in the corner over there.” The room is small and not big as what you have expect from a rich conglomerate’s house. MC just smiles and thanks ML
- fast forward, MC is in estrus. ML thinks MC is trying to take advantage of him. By the way, only during estrus will MC actually release pheromones that you can smell. MC is also immune to suppressors. But ML doesn’t know that and forcible gets his workers to give him surpressors. MC suffers a bit for two days. MC gets his estrus every month as he is a dominant omega and has been suffering from this considition for quite awhile
- MC avoids ML like a ghost, until the ML gets fed up and says stop avoiding him
- MC then receives a call from his shitty dad and meets up with him at the company. Shitty dad wants MC to steal an important document that has something to do the system coding that ML has been working on. MC is distraught at betraying ML or betraying the family that took him in
- he steals the document when the ML was away, but gets struck by his heat again, this time ML arrived and they do the snu-snu but no permanent mark
- later on the document gets given to his father
- MC and ML’s relationship gets better after that
- However, when MC was going to work at his company, his fuckin family (his shitty ass father) threw him under the bus and he gets arrested and frame to extorting funds from the company
- MC’s long time secretary begs ML to save him by bailing him out (they reach a deal where the secretary reveals all the secrets of what the shitty dad did in his company)
- ML arrived and picks up the MC
- shit happens, as the new program is launched by MC’s family company. It used the stolen coding that the MC stole.
- ML is furious as MC stands inside his study, distraught, sad, and grieving. (He’s not crying btw, just sad that he got betrayed by the monsters he thought were family)
- ML asks if he has any excuses for the shit he pulled, MC says he done it out of his on volition
- ML asks twice, as if giving him a chance to redeem himself. MC does not come up with excuses. ML storms off saying “you will regret it”.
- Fast forward, MC is on house arrest and then enters estrus
- MC suffers for a bit until the door opens. He thinks it’s the ML, but it’s the fucking ML’s brother. ML’s brother rapes MC, while MC resists. It’s when the brother states, “Wow, this is the gift that your husband prepared for me, thanks, it’s much appreciated.” MC thinks ML abandoned him to this rapist and gives up.
- afterwards MC runs away to his safe haven, his old apartment with the help of his secretary
- MC takes sleeping pills and tries to sleep away his worries
- ML comes and accuses him of killing himself with this many sleeping pills. And asks why the fuck he ran away. And why he smelt of his brother.
- MC calmly asks for divorce and says yeah, he fucked the Ml’s brother
-things escalated and ML forcibly permanently marks MC though (snu-snu and yeah this is rape) which causes MC to lose consciousness
- MC is again on house arrest and suffers from neglect
- ML never shows up for awhile and MC suffers from not having his mate there for his estrus and heats
- MC also suffers from night terrors and nightmares from the rape incident caused by ML’s brother
- This causes him to sometimes be unable to distinguish if ML was the one who actually raped him. He mixes the two up and this causes him to fear the ML
- MC decides, to go to ML’s study, where he sees the gun mounted on the wall. The gun was a gift from the ML’s grandpa and symbolizes the strength to move forward and finish what has been started (something along those lines. He decides to move forward by shooting himself in the chest
- ML arrives just about when he pulls the trigger, MC sees him one last time and wishes him to live happily, smiling, and then *BANG*
- ML screams saying “NO!”
- MC dies.
okay here are some important things to note:
- the document that MC stole has many errors in the coding, thus later on MC’s company will fall and end up bankrupt anyways, MC did this on purpose
-ML finds out about this because after the permanent mark
- the permanent mark allows both alpha and omega to share memories as well as feelings and thoughts
- ML finds out about MC’s involvement through this
- ML avoids MC because MC was afraid of the ML, he didn’t want to hurt MC anymore because of the feelings transmitted from the permanent mark (but this ends up as neglect in MC’s eyes)
Okay that’s all. I’m tired. Will update on current story line which takes up like 75% of the story.
