When the Pear Blossoms Bloom Again

Pond spent his entire life loving the wrong person.

As the youngest son of the powerful Shen family, he believed marrying Crown Prince Li Jian was a dream come true. But behind the prince's gentle smiles hid ambition, betrayal, and cruelty. Used as a political pawn, Pond watched his family fall, his loved ones die, and his own life end with a cup of poisoned tea.

When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself three years in the past.

Given a second chance by fate, Pond swears he will never chase Li Jian again. This time, he will protect his family, uncover the conspiracies hidden within the imperial court, and rewrite the tragic future that awaits them.

Yet during the Spring Lantern Festival, he meets a man he never truly knew in his previous life-the feared Phuwin.

Cold, powerful, and respected throughout the empire, Phuwin appears to be an Alpha. But beneath the secrets he carries lies a truth capable of shaking the entire empire.

As political schemes threaten the throne and old enemies emerge from the shadows, Pond and Phuwin find their destinies slowly intertwining.

In his first life, Pond loved the wrong man.

In his second life, fate intends to lead him to the right one.
