Waking up crushed under a man, I nearly screamed—until I saw who it was.

Adrian. My cold, obsessive husband. The man I spent a lifetime escaping from. 

In my past life, I trusted the wrong people. Betrayed the only man who ever protected me and died alone.

One life ruined me. This one? I’ll ruin everyone who tries again.

Now, the game is mine and I write the rules. I'll act sweet. Stay mysterious. And pit every snake against each other. 

And as for my dangerously obsessed husband? I will tame—wait... WAIT! I was just being a little gentle, why is this tyrant acting like a delicate princess? 

'Hey, hey, stop clinging to me! What? You want cuddles? Head pats? You—You are not a cat, Adrian!'
…

“He’s deathly allergic to strawberries? But he devoured one from my hand like it’s a miracle elixir.”

“He has sleeping disorders? But he hugged me and passed out like a lazy cat!”

“He’s sulking… because I didn’t hold his hand?”

When he saw me hugging my female best friend?

He lost his mind. Yanked me into his arms and growled, “Mine,” like a deranged villain in love.

I finally understood: no one else ever stood a chance. I was his only obsession.

Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession

Ella didn't react to Aunt Yu's snide remark. Instead, she turned toward the man holding the long velvet case.

At a gentle nod from her, the man stepped forward and gently unlatched the long velvet case.

The lid opened with a soft click, revealing a large painting carefully wrapped in silk. As the cloth was drawn back, the ballroom's lighting seemed to dim, as if holding its breath. A sharp breath echoed across the silent hall.

Mr. Yu stepped forward, eyes narrowing, then widening as if he were seeing a ghost.

The once-stiff posture faltered. He moved closer, one hand reaching out as if afraid the painting would disappear.

It was an oil painting, faded but preserved, with a dignified, old-world charm. A serene waterfall surrounded by vast forest, golden sunlight sprinkling in through the gaps between the trees. The brush strokes were unmistakable.
