The world is omegaverse, so your second identity matters more than your gender. Hence, same s*x marriages can be done and aren't seen as taboo. However, same s*x with a beta can bear no children. MC reincarnates with the help of the Fairy Kind to go back to 6 years ago, the last day of the funeral held for his godmother. Due to being ridiculed and filled with fear for his whole life, he didn't do anything to protect his loved ones. All of them died one by one, and in the end, a duke's son who doesn't have royal blood succeed the throne and tried to get his blood and kill him. For the second life, although he is still very timid and also traumatised by all the events, he is filled with determination to save his loved ones. MC is a beta while ML is an alpha. In the previous life, ML proposed to him for a contract marriage, this life MC did it first.
[collapse]SpoilerThe book has a lot of depth to it because MC's trauma is very well portrayed. He clearly suffers from trauma due to seeing his loved ones die, and also suffering a fatal stab to his abdomen, so when he sees the sight of blood, he will want to faint. When he meets the duke's son who was partly the cause for his doom and the reason for his suffering, he almost gets into a panic attack. When he regresses and sees his loved ones alive, his first reaction was to cry at them being alive and questioning how they came back. All his emotions being portrayed shows him being human and feels real. He is traumatised and is quite emotional due to having to rush for time, and it's all reasonable. It makes sense for him to do all this because he suffered.
[collapse]MC is actually smart, but because he lived his life in fear, he never tried to do anything outside of the box that he was kept in. Hence it's quite touching to see him trying his best to come out of his shell, cause he isn't doing it for himself, he is doing it for his loved ones. The angst is honestly a bit real in this book, but I personally don't think it's enough to make you cry. Your heart will ache for sure. MC and ML asks the right questions, and both know when to apologize when they have crossed the line. It's so refreshing to see both characters being self aware and actually taking action on it.ML:SpoilerSimilar to MC, instead of being a Beta from a royal family, he is the illegitimate child of the royal family. As both have similar circumstances, they have pity for one another and hence seek comfort from eachother (kinda) ML treasures his step older sister as she was the one who gave him all her support and raised him together with his step mother, hence he was sad to hear that he had to leave the kingdom on his sister's orders as their dipsh*t father wielded him against her to seek discord.
[collapse]The book is really a hidden gem, I'm quite glad I found this. The story is interesting, and I really look forward to how the novel will continue. It's worth investing your time to read this.
