Chapter 1

SYNOPSIS:

“If I am given a second chance… I promise I won’t be a monster anymore.”

As the pampered youngest son of the ultra-wealthy Lin family, **Lin Mian** had everything he could ever dream of. But indulgence bred arrogance. He became a notorious, short-tempered socialite-spending his nights in alcohol-fueled rages and chasing neon lights, completely blind to the love of his family and his childhood friend, the cold and ruthless CEO, **Lu Chen**.

After a explosive morning tantrum, Lin Mian stormed out of his house and straight into an oncoming car. He died instantly.

As a wandering ghost, he was forced to watch the devastating aftermath of his actions: his family shattered by grief, and the untouchable Lu Chen kneeling in the mud, completely broken, clutching his cold corpse. Suffocated by a wave of bitter regret, Lin Mian made a desperate vow to the universe.

**When he opens his eyes again, it’s 8:00 AM on the exact morning of his fatal accident.**

Given a miraculous second chance at life, the spoiled sparrow has finally learned how to hunt. Lin Mian drops the liquor, puts on a corporate suit, and vows to protect his family’s empire from the corporate vipers waiting in the shadows.

But his sudden, drastic change doesn’t escape the razor-sharp eyes of Lu Chen. In the past life, Lu Chen kept his burning, possessive obsession hidden in the dark. This time, seeing a fragile, apologetic Lin Mian actively seeking his guidance, the wolf decides to unleash his claws.

As international enemies close in and dangerous secrets unravel, Lin Mian realizes that rewriting his destiny means trading his old cage for a completely new one-the fierce, unyielding embrace of a man who would burn the entire city to the ground just to keep him safe.
