After Rebirth, Married to a Deadly Enemy - Chapter 1

“Rebirth”

“Pain!”

Bai Xiangxing had just regained consciousness when he was almost overwhelmed by the excruciating pain.

Bai Xiangxing had lived a pampered life for many years, and he hadn’t felt this uncomfortable in a long time. The agony, as if every bone in his body had been shattered and reassembled, not only brought physical pain but also stirred up distant painful memories.

“I won’t stay up late anymore in the future,” Bai Xiangxing resolved for the hundred and eighth time.

“Are you awake? How do you feel?” The doctor hurriedly entered the room, asking Bai Xiangxing while checking the data on the surrounding instruments.

“Where’s Dr. Mi?” Bai Xiangxing was somewhat surprised to see that his private doctor wasn’t the one who entered.

“Which Dr. Mi?”

“Miland, my private doctor.”

“Your family didn’t mention that you have a private doctor.”

Family? He was still single to this day. After he absorbed the Bai family, he sent Bai Cang and his son to a garbage planet to scavenge for trash. He didn’t even know if they were still alive. How could he have a family?

Bai Xiangxing frowned and instinctively tried to contact his private doctor using his neural implant, but as soon as he moved, the intense pain almost made him pass out.

“Doctor, what’s happening to me?” This pain was far from normal.

The doctor, whose face had been devoid of expression, suddenly showed a hint of sympathy. “Your body is still undergoing transformation. Once the transformation is complete, the pain will subside.”

“Transformation? Why does that word sound so familiar?”

“You’re actually quite lucky. At least the transformation process went smoothly. After the transformation, you should become an A-level Omega,” the doctor continued.

Transformation, Omega… but wasn’t he already an Omega?

Wait!

Bai Xiangxing seemed to realize something and, with a burst of effort that overcame the pain, he sat up on the hospital bed.

“What are you doing? Don’t move. Your body is still undergoing transformation; you can’t move around. Lie down quickly,” the doctor said, alarmed.

Bai Xiangxing paid no attention to him, looking around the room and finally fixing his gaze on a light-brain placed on the bedside table.

It was a silver-white light-brain, a common wristband style, and it was the 18th-generation product from the top light-brain manufacturer, Fengxing. You might wonder why he remembered this so clearly; it was because he was about to acquire Fengxing before he lost consciousness. He was a loyal user of Fengxing’s products, and whenever they released a new light-brain, he would buy it. Plus, he had just recently reviewed Fengxing’s data, so he recognized the model and style of every generation of Fengxing’s light-brains.

Fengxing typically released a new product every year, and Fengxing 18 was a product from fifteen years ago.

“I understand your feelings. You were originally an Alpha, and now you’ve suddenly become an Omega. It’s a process that requires acceptance, but it’s already happened. Why not try to think of it in a positive light? Your transformation process went smoothly. After a complete transformation, you should be able to become an A-level Omega, and the Alliance has protections in place for Omegas…” The doctor tried to comfort the young Omega with as many positive words as he could think of, but the young man in the bed remained unresponsive, lost in thought. The doctor sighed and, once he was certain the young man was okay, turned and left the room, leaving him alone.

He was the young man’s attending physician and had naturally reviewed the young man’s information. The young man had originally been an S-level Alpha, and now he had suddenly become an A-level Omega. Most people couldn’t accept such a change. The doctor himself was an Alpha, and when he tried to put himself in the young man’s shoes, just the thought of suddenly becoming an Omega made him prefer death. Well, he hoped the young man could come to terms with it.

In the hospital room, although Bai Xiangxing had a suspicion, he confirmed it using his light-brain – he had indeed returned to fifteen years ago, November 1st, 3189 in the interstellar calendar. It was the day after he was injected with the gender-switching serum by Bai Cang and his son…

Darn it!

If he had to be reborn, couldn’t it have been one day earlier?

Yes, he had been reborn. Bai Xiangxing’s last memory was of closing the Fengxing acquisition documents. He had worked tirelessly for a week to secure the acquisition of Fengxing. But just as he finished organizing the documents, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then everything went black. When he woke up, he was fifteen years in the past.

“Damn, Mi Lande was right.” Mi Lande, his private doctor and friend, often said one thing to him after each examination: “If you don’t start taking care of yourself and resting, one day you’ll drop dead.”

“Jinx.” Having confirmed the fact of his rebirth, Bai Xiangxing slowly calmed down and began to think about the current situation, or rather, the events of fifteen years ago.

Bai Cang, the person who administered the gender-switching serum to him, was his biological uncle. Before the incident, Bai Xiangxing had never imagined that his own uncle would do this to him. When Bai Xiangxing was ten years old, his parents died in an accident during an interstellar trip. He was raised by his grandfather, and his uncle Bai Cang had always treated him well. He could say that Bai Cang treated him no worse than his own son, Bai Xiangqing. So that day, which was just yesterday, when Bai Cang and his son came to his hotel room, he had no defenses up.

“How incredibly foolish!” Every year after that, Bai Xiangxing couldn’t help but curse himself whenever he thought about that day.

On the eve of taking over as the CEO of the Bai Corporation, he had let his guard down completely with his biological uncle, who also had a claim to the inheritance. It wasn’t just foolish; it was downright deserving of what had happened.

“Ding, ding.” A message came in on his light-brain.

The message was from his fiancée, Zhen Minmin, a cute and gentle Omega who was also his best friend.

Minmin: [Star, where are you? I bought you a gift to celebrate your signing the contract early.]

A gift? Bai Xiangxing didn’t recall Minmin ever giving him a gift in his previous life. When he woke up, the first person he sought was his grandfather. He had been raised by his grandfather, groomed from childhood as the heir. He thought that after his grandfather found out what his uncle had done to him, he would ensure justice was served. However, he had overestimated the bonds of family in the Bai family and underestimated the profit-driven nature of businessmen. To his elderly grandfather, an Omega heir who had turned into a liability likely only had use in arranged marriages.

Thinking about this, Bai Xiangxing couldn’t help but squint his eyes. No rush, let them struggle for a few days.

Bai Xiangxing: [I’m at the hospital.]

Zhen Minmin: [You’re sick. Which hospital?]

Bai Xiangxing sent a location.

About half an hour later, Zhen Minmin arrived at the hospital room. Zhen Minmin was extremely cute, with big eyes, curled eyelashes, like a doll that instantly evoked sympathy from anyone who saw her – that kind of Omega. She must have run all the way here, with sweat on her forehead, looking a bit disheveled.

Omega’s bodies were naturally delicate, and Zhen Minmin, a petite lady who had been pampered since childhood, was practically used to treading on air. The fact that she had run like this for him touched Bai Xiangxing slightly.

“What happened to you? Why do you look so pale? What’s wrong with you? What did the doctor say?” Zhen Minmin asked anxiously, her big eyes filled with worry, which warmed Bai Xiangxing’s heart.

“Don’t worry for now, find a chair and sit down,” Bai Xiangxing said slowly only after Zhen Minmin had moved a chair and sat down. “I’ve been injected with a gender-switching serum, and my body is currently undergoing transformation. Tomorrow, I should have fully become an Omega.”

“What?!” Zhen Minmin was so shocked she almost fell off her chair.

After letting Zhen Minmin recover from her surprise, Bai Xiangxing continued to tell her the story calmly.

“How could they do this? They’re your own uncle and cousin. How could they… how could they…” As an Omega who had been well-protected from a young age, Zhen Minmin had hardly seen the darker side of human nature. Hearing something like this suddenly was enough to make her cry.

“Don’t cry, crying won’t help.” When Bai Xiangxing was still an Alpha, his favorite type was soft and cute Omegas like Zhen Minmin. Omegas, after all, were naturally delicate, prone to tears, and there was nothing more normal than that. Besides, the sight of an Omega crying was so pitiable.

Of course, all of this was before he himself became an Omega.

“So… Star, what are you planning to do?” Zhen Minmin asked, “Should we tell Grandfather?”

“He already knows,” Bai Xiangxing chuckled. Given his grandfather’s capabilities, there was no way he wouldn’t have heard the news while Bai Xiangxing had been lying in the hospital all day.

“What did Grandfather say? He will ensure justice for you, won’t he?”

“No,” Bai Xiangxing calmly analyzed, “This generation of the Bai family has only two Alphas – me and Bai Xiangqing. If I become an Omega, there will only be Bai Xiangqing left. He’s busy protecting Bai Xiangqing; there’s no way he’ll ensure justice for me.”

“I see, they want to steal your position as the heir!” Zhen Minmin suddenly exclaimed, as if she had just realized something.

Bai Xiangxing remained silent. Well, he was an Omega, after all.

“So, in your current situation, what will they do to you in the future?” Zhen Minmin continued to ask.

“In a little while, news of my transformation into an Omega will probably appear online. Then my dear uncle will find me a marriage, with my grandfather’s approval, to secure one last profit,” Bai Xiangxing calmly analyzed the future course of events.

“How could they… Star, maybe you should run away.”

As an Omega from a prominent family, arranged marriages were as normal as it got, but Star wasn’t a natural Omega. Until yesterday, he was still an Alpha. How could he accept being married off to another Alpha? Zhen Minmin might not understand many things, but she knew her Star well. He was a proud person, and if he were forced into such a marriage, he’d probably prefer death.

Escape? In his previous life, he did escape. Two days later, Bai’s secretary, who was essentially his grandfather’s right-hand man, came to fetch him home, and after that, he was under house arrest at the Bai family. Even though he had once been an S-level Alpha, after becoming an Omega, his physical abilities were only slightly better than those of an average Omega. He couldn’t escape, so he had to passively stay at home, waiting for the family to select a suitable marriage partner for him. Naturally, he didn’t want to get married, so he ran away, and at that time, it was Zhen Minmin who helped him escape the Bai family.

For this reason, he was grateful to Zhen Minmin, his former fiancée, and had treated her like a sister his entire life.

“No, I’ll wait for the arranged marriage.” Although in his previous life, he escaped successfully, he also did well afterward. Five years later, he returned and took over the Bai Corporation, building his own business empire from scratch.

Starting from nothing, anyone would praise his talent. But the result was… he dropped dead at a young age, without even spending all his money.

Such a waste.

So, in this life, he decided to make his fortune in a different way.

What’s wrong with an arranged marriage? An arranged marriage could save him ten years of struggle.
