R19 Ongoing BL

After taking revenge on the family who betrayed him, Lee Hyun, once the heir of a major corporation, dies in an accident.
Afterward, he reincarnates as a terminally ill villainous mastermind who almost seized the empire but ultimately failed.

Exhausted from his family’s betrayal, Hyun accepts his fate, knowing he only has a few years left to live due to a curse.
He decides to quietly await death at the Ice Lake, his place of exile.

The only visitor who comes to see Hyun at the desolate Ice Lake is Misha.
The price for trusting someone again comes back to him in an unexpected way.

“Forgive my impertinence, Sir Isaac. Based on your symptoms, the only possible diagnosis is pregnancy.”

The lover Hyun thought was a mere attendant and spy, Misha, turns out to be the Crown Prince, Mikhail.
In a situation where he’s been betrayed once again, he also finds himself pregnant with an alpha’s child.
But Mikhail, who came to take Hyun back to the palace, only gives excuses that are hard to believe…

“I now understand that with half-hearted feelings, I can neither have you nor protect you.”

It was a child he accepted, gathering the last of his strength from his miserable life.
The fact that he had been betrayed by such a child was unbearable.

“If I am the most precious thing to the one who humiliated me in my final moments, then isn’t it clear what I must do to exact the greatest revenge?”

After losing Hyun due to poor choices and immaturity, Mikhail returns to the past, determined not to repeat his mistakes.
This time, he will make different choices from his first life, solely to save his beloved.
