They were promised to others. Yet bound to each other. One loved like dawn-soft, warm, and full of belief. The other destroyed like dusk-cold, cruel, and already broken. They weren't strangers. They were enemies dressed in wedding white. An omega carved from sunlight. An alpha born from storms. Tied by a fate neither of them chose. And vows neither of them meant. Love? It belonged to someone else. But pain- Pain made a home between their bones. This isn't a love story. It's revenge wrapped in velvet. It's betrayal in the shape of a kiss. It's the kind of forever that ruins everything it touches. Because in the end, They didn't fall in love. They fell into each other's ruin... "He was a promise I made to someone else - and the sin I kept coming back for."✨

After dying at the hands of the empire he once served, Xiao Zhan awakens three years in the past with memories of betrayal, bloodshed, and the man he loved standing among his killers. This time, he refuses to let history repeat itself. Armed with knowledge of the future and the mysterious blessing of the goddess Ankh, Zhan secretly allies himself with the fallen prince and the growing rebellion determined to overthrow the cruel Emperor . But changing the fate of the kingdom comes with a devastating cost. Because standing on the opposite side of the coming war is Wang Yibo, the empire's most loyal knight... and the man Zhan loves more than his own life. Yibo serves the crown with unwavering devotion, blind to the emperor's corruption and the destruction it will bring. Now Zhan must walk a dangerous path between love and betrayal, hiding his rebellion while fighting to save the people he swore to protect. As conspiracies deepen and loyalties fracture, he faces an impossible choice: Save the kingdom and risk losing the man he love or protect Yibo and watch the empire burn.

Lu Xiaofan, a poor rural boy who dropped out of school, married into a wealthy family, becoming the son-in-law of a high-ranking official in Beijing. He thought he'd struck gold, but instead found himself within a cheap cuckold's horns. While his wife was unsatisfactory, he had a desirable brother-in-law, Bei Luqing, a handsome, wealthy, and academically excellent man from a prestigious university-the man he admired. Like a weed that can grow in any crack, Lu Xiaofan constantly revised his life goals. He tried every possible position around Bei Luqing, finally finding only one vacant spot-a perverted one. Although Lu Xiaofan didn't consider himself perverted, he had no choice but to squeeze in. Thus, Lu Xiaofan failed to become Bei Luqing's friend, failed to become his trusted confidant, and ended up as his perverted lover. In truth, Lu Xiaofan felt quite wronged; it was like being labeled a member of a "black five categories" (a term referring to individuals with criminal backgrounds or social classes) before even knowing their own lineage. Note: This is not the official translation of the novel, errors are common. I stand to be corrected by any means. Happy Reading! Note: If you happen to read this plss keep it to yourself or else this will be taken down. Thank You!

Disclaimer‼️ This is a fan translation. The story will have a live action adaptation entitled 'Bittersweet Love' releasing this July 03, 2026. Side Note: Yes, Bittersweet Love or BL which is kind of a pun itself (😂). Well, I have reasons to believe it's on purpose. Native title: 嫁入高门的男人 Status: Completed Lu Xiaofan, a young man from a poor rural family who was forced to drop out of school, marries into a wealthy household and becomes the son-in-law of a high-ranking official in Beijing. At first, he thinks he has struck the jackpot. Little does he know that what awaits him is nothing more than a cheap green hat-a symbol of infidelity. Although his wife leaves much to be desired, he is fortunate to have an excellent brother-in-law, Bei Luqing. Born into a prominent family, handsome, wealthy, and a top student from a prestigious university, Bei Luqing is someone Lu Xiaofan deeply admires and looks up to. Like a weed that thrives in any crack, Lu Xiaofan constantly adjusts his goals in life. He tries to find a place for himself in every role around Bei Luqing, only to discover that the only vacant position is that of a pervert. Though he does not consider himself one, he grits his teeth and squeezes into the role anyway. As a result, Lu Xiaofan fails to become Bei Luqing's trusted friend. He fails to become his capable confidant. In the end, he becomes Bei Luqing's perverted lover instead. To Lu Xiaofan, the whole situation feels terribly unfair. It is like being labeled one of the "Five Black Categories" before even knowing one's own background only to be told from the start that one is a traitor.
