They framed him, stripped him bare, and laughed as they cast him out. They have no idea he’s already lived this hell once—and this time, he holds all the cards. Two years of devotion ended in a calculated trap: drugged in a luxury hotel room alongside Sophia, his wife’s innocent cousin, and framed for a scandal he never committed. Alexander Sinclair was meant to lose everything. His treacherous wife, Victoria, orchestrated his downfall to strip away his family legacy, his fortune, and his dignity under the guise of an ironclad prenuptial agreement. To seal his humiliation, the haughty Cavendish matriarch forced him into an immediate marriage with the disgraced Sophia—casting both out into the cold with nothing. The elite thought Alexander was finished. They saw an empty-handed beggar sleeping above a laundromat, a disgraced son whose family accounts were frozen by ruthless high-society lawyers. They were dead wrong. Alexander has reincarnated with four hundred years of memory.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Sour wine. The hum of a minibar.

Alexander Sinclair opened his eyes in a hotel suite at the Ashbury Grand, white sheets twisted, a wine glass on its side on the carpet.

His head was heavy. His arms would not lift. There was something bitter at the back of his tongue, sharper than the wine.

He knew that taste.

He knew this room.

He turned his head on the pillow. Beside him, asleep on top of the covers in a borrowed cream dress, lay Sophia.

Victoria's cousin. His wife's cousin.

Light brown hair tied back, a soft tired face, and a small silver hair clip she never took off.

They were both naked.

But he knew nothing had happened.

Two people had been put here.

He was twenty-five again, and this was the morning he lost everything.

Out in the corridor, footsteps. Many of them.

The door swung open.

Victoria stood in the doorway, black hair sleek to the shoulders, red lips, and eyes that measured the price of everything.

She did not look surprised. She pretended to look surprised.

Behind her came the whole Cavendish family.

And behind them, his own parents.

Richard Sinclair, grey at the sides, a builder's hands, a suit that used to fit.

Helen Sinclair, a gentle round face, reading glasses on her head. His mother's hand went to her mouth.

"Alexander!" Victoria's voice rang through the room. "How could you? With my own cousin!"

Sophia woke with a gasp. She saw the crowd at the door and dragged the sheet up to her chin.

"What? Victoria? Grandma?" Her eyes went wide with fear. "Why is everyone here?"

"You're asking us?" Victoria said coldly. "Look where you are, Sophia. Look whose bed you're in. And why are you naked? Both of you!"

"No. No, no." Sophia pulled the blanket tight around her naked body and shook her head hard. "Nothing happened! I don't even know how I got here!"

"Nothing happened?"

Brenda, Sophia's mother, pushed past her husband Danny and grabbed her daughter by the arm. "You're lying in your cousin's husband's bed, both of you naked and you say nothing happened? You've ruined us! In front of the whole family!"

"Thank goodness you brought everyone, darling," Margaret murmured to Victoria. Her own mother, and not one drop of surprise in her either. "Now no one can say you made it up."

Grandmother Beverly's cane struck the floor once. The head of the Cavendish clan, small and straight-backed, silver hair in a tight bun, the cane topped with a silver horse head. The room went still.

"Victoria," she said. "Who told you they were here?"

"Does it matter, Grandma?" Victoria did not look away from the bed. "You can all see it."

"A Cavendish girl," Beverly said slowly, "in a hotel bed. With a married man."

"Grandma, I didn't—"

"I did not ask you to speak."

Sophia's mouth closed. Her eyes filled.

Alexander looked at all of them.

"Look at him." Margaret stepped up beside her daughter. "He can't even face you, darling. Two years you gave him. Two years. And this is how he repays you."

"I'm fine, Mother," Victoria said stiffly.

But her eyes were dry. They had been dry since the door opened.

Alexander knew it.

At the back of the room, his father looked at him and waited for one word.

"Nothing happened between us," Alexander insisted. "We were drugged and dumped here."

A ripple of scoffing ran through the crowd.

"Right. That's what they all say when they get caught with their pants down."

His father's shoulders slumped in defeat.

"Keep feeding us lies nobody believes," Brenda sneered. "You're an absolute disgrace to this family. A married man caught with his own cousin-in-law. You both make me sick!"

Helen Sinclair turned away and pressed her face into her husband's arm.

"Victoria." Sophia's voice cracked. "Please. You know me. I would never do this to you. Never."

"I thought I knew who you were," Victoria said coldly. "And I thought I knew him."

"We did nothing wrong!" Sophia sobbed, sheer confusion overtaking her panic. She had no comprehension of the trap closing around them.

Alexander stared at her trembling form. He knew she was blameless. They had been framed by his own wife, a calculated ruin he remembered all too well, because he had already lived through it once.

He didn't know what twist of fate had thrown him back, to the precise hour his living hell began.

In his first life, after this morning had taken everything from him, someone had found him at the very bottom. A cultivator from another world, far older and wiser than any human. He taught Alexander how to draw spirit energy into the body and grow it, level by level, until death itself let go.

Four hundred years. He had climbed until no man stood above him, until even death stopped coming for him. And at the very last step, he fell. He had climbed too fast, and carried too many regrets.

And still he had come back here. To this bed. To this morning.

He reached inside himself for his spirit energy.

Nothing. Only a thin, cold thread. This body was twenty-five years old, soft, and still heavy with the drug. He was no different from any ordinary man. Any one of them in that doorway could knock him down.

Fine.

This time he would climb slowly. Every level perfect. No regrets. His parents would live. Sophia would live. And on this Earth, he was the only one who knew the way.

Last time, he had begged them to believe him. This time he would let them play it out, every line, and watch.

They thought they were looking at a man who had just lost everything. They were looking at a man who already knew how it ended.

Victoria turned and looked at every face in the room, one by one, as if she were counting them.

"You all saw it," she said. "Every one of you. Remember what you saw today."

"Victoria," Beverly said sharply. "That's enough for one morning."

"No, Grandma. It's not." Victoria's voice was calm and clear. "Everyone here knows what our marriage contract says. Whoever cheats gets nothing in the divorce. Nothing."

The words landed one at a time.

"Victoria." Margaret uttered the name quietly, cutting through the heavy air. "It's all under his name. The estate. The cars. The liquid assets."

"Everything, Mother."

"Even the company?" Margaret looked past the crowd. "His parents' legacy?"

"Every single piece," Victoria said with complete composure.

Not one word about two years of marriage. Only the property.

Alexander felt the bile rise in his throat. He had done this to himself. He had loved her so hopelessly that he traded his own bloodline for her smile.

He remembered the desperate pleas, the year spent wearing down his parents' doubts, swearing he would protect their life's work if they just put everything under his name. Now the trap had snapped shut.

Victoria hadn't just seduced him. She had used him as a weapon to gut his family's entire fortune down to the bone.

Last time, it had worked.

This time, he almost smiled. Enjoy it while you can, Victoria. By tonight, you'll find out you got nothing.

At the back of the room, Richard Sinclair understood. All the color left his face. Helen held on to his arm with both hands.

"Victoria," Sophia whispered. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying the contract is the contract." Victoria looked straight at Alexander, and for the first time that morning, she almost smiled.

"Alexander, I divorce you and you leave with nothing."

    Chapter 2
    "Alexander, I divorce you and you leave with nothing."The words hung in the hotel room.Every face turned to the bed, waiting for him to break.Alexander remembered this moment. The first time, he had shouted. He had pointed at Victoria and told them all she had set the trap. Nobody believed him.So he had begged."If you really love me," Victoria had said, "kneel. In front of everyone."And he had. On this carpet, in front of both families. He had crawled to her on his knees and kissed her leg like a dog begging its master, while the whole room laughed."Bark," Derek had said, her younger brother. "Go on. Bark for her."And he had barked.It changed nothing. She never forgave him for a sin he never committed. She divorced him that same afternoon.He had had four hundred years to think about it. Four centuries of cultivation, and this carpet had followed him into every one of them.Last time, he had begged for a marriage that was already over. This time he would sign with a smile, an

    "What are you doing with your phone?"Victoria stood in the doorway, one hand still on the handle.Alexander slid the phone into his pocket."Calling a cab," he said."I told you. The car is waiting.""Your car," Alexander said. "I'm not riding with you."Behind Victoria, Chloe snorted.Victoria held out her hand. "Give me your phone.""What?" Alexander said."You cheated, so everything of yours is mine now. Including your phone. Give it to me.""We're not legally divorced yet. This thing is still mine.""Shut up. I've already divorced you."Alexander knew this moment too. It had happened in his first life, word for word. He took out the phone and put it in her hand.Victoria dropped it into her handbag without looking at it."Fine," she said. "Take your cab. Our car will follow right behind you. If you dare to run away, I'll sign it without you and let the lawyers drag you there."She turned and walked away. Her heels clicked down the corridor.Sophia let out a breath she had been ho

    The glass doors of the government office swung shut behind them.Beverly's black car waited at the curb with the engine running. Max, her head of security, stood beside it with three of his men.Alexander took Sophia's hand and started down the steps.Derek, Victoria's younger brother, stepped in front of them. Margaret came right behind him, her handbag tucked under her arm."Going somewhere?" Derek said."Home," Alexander said."Home?" Margaret laughed. "You don't have a home. You don't have anything. My daughter made sure of that.""Then there's nothing to talk about.""Of course there is. If you hadn't done anything wrong, my daughter would never have divorced you.""You know how I treated her for two years," Alexander said."Who knows what you did behind our backs? Look at yourself. She was always out of your league!""That's enough, Mom." Derek looked Alexander up and down. "Victoria said you leave with nothing. How do I know that's true? A cheat is a cheat. You probably hid som

    "What happened?" Victoria said. "Who did this?"She looked at her brother. Derek sat on the step with his head tipped back, blood on his shirt, one eye already swelling shut."Who else?" Margaret cried. "That bastard Alexander! Derek saw the ring on Sophia's hand and only wanted to give it back to her. That was all! And Alexander turned around and said Derek was stealing it. Then he beat him! My poor boy only did what was right!"She cried harder, as if she were the one who had been hit.Victoria did not ask if it was true. She did not care if it was true.She looked at Derek's swollen face the way she looked at a contract. Then the corner of her red mouth lifted."Did anyone see it?""Everyone saw it!" Margaret pointed at the pavement. "That woman over there even filmed it on her phone!""And Max?"Max stood by the car with his hands folded. He had seen the slap. He had not seen the ring.He nodded."Good," Victoria said.Margaret stopped crying. "Good?""A man beats my brother on th

    "You sent me a dowry?" Brenda snorted. "With what? Your good looks?"But she pulled her phone out of her apron pocket anyway and opened her banking app, still glaring at him.Her thumb stopped."One..." she whispered. "One million dollars?"She held the phone closer to her face. Then farther away. The numbers did not change."Danny!" she shrieked. "Danny, come here! Count the zeros! Count them!"Danny shuffled over from the kitchen table and squinted at the screen. His eyebrows went all the way up."That's a lot of zeros," he said."It came this morning," Sophia said quietly. "From Alexander's own account, before the divorce. It's the dowry, Mom."Brenda looked at her daughter. Then at Alexander. Then at the phone.Her whole face changed so fast it was almost funny."Oh, my goodness. Alexander. My good son-in-law! Why are you standing out here in the hallway like a stranger? Come in! Come in!"She grabbed his arm and pulled him through the door."Danny, don't just stand there! Get him

    The next morning, Brenda was dressed before the dryers downstairs had even started.She stood at the little mirror by the door in her best coat, putting on lipstick and humming."Beauty salon at ten," she announced. "Then the mall. Then lunch somewhere with real napkins."Alexander had been awake since four, sitting cross-legged on the cold floor of Sophia's room while she slept, drawing spirit energy in through his chest, breath by breath.The thread had grown. One hair thicker. Nothing more.Next to what he used to be, it was pathetic. But it was moving. In his first life, the first step had taken him years. This time it had taken one night.He opened his eyes and rubbed his neck. Every bone in his back hurt."Oh, look who's awake," Brenda called through the open door. "The man who sleeps on my floor.""Mom," Sophia said from the bed. "Stop.""What? I'm being nice. I said good morning."Danny, behind his newspaper at the kitchen table, said nothing. Wisely.Brenda's phone rang. She

    "Is it?" Alexander said again.He held the settlement up so the whole street could see it. Then he tore it in half.The sound was loud in the quiet morning.He put the halves together and tore them again. And again. Then he opened his hand, and the pieces drifted down onto the lawyer's polished shoes.Across the street, a curtain moved. Somebody's dog barked.The lawyer looked down at the scraps of paper. When he looked up again, his smile was back, but it was thinner now."That was a copy, Mr. Sinclair," he said. "I have twelve more in my briefcase.""Then you'd better bring a bigger briefcase.""You think this is a game?" The lawyer straightened his cuffs, one, then the other. "My name is Wayne Foster. Mr. Price pays me to win. And I always win.""Not today.""No," Foster agreed pleasantly. "Today I lose a piece of paper. But I filed this morning. Within the hour, the court freezes every account your father has. The company's too. Every card. Every cent. He won't be able to buy a lo

    Chapter 9
    The Cavendish house on Elm Ridge was lit up like a ship.Every window glowed. Cars lined the long drive all the way to the gate. Inside, the old stone walls were warm with candlelight, and a crystal chandelier hung over a dining table long enough to seat thirty.Beverly sat at the head of it in a dark green dress, her silver horse-head cane leaning against her chair. Tonight she looked like a queen receiving taxes.One by one, the family came up to lay their gifts before her.Carter went first, Chloe's brother from the main branch. A bottle of cognac older than his father, eighty thousand dollars, he told the whole room twice.Then Chloe, glittering, on the arm of her fiancé, Blake Turner."Grandma, this is from Blake and me." She opened a velvet box. Inside lay a diamond brooch in the shape of a little horse. "To match your cane. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars.""Oh!" Beverly laughed out loud. "Oh, Chloe. You always know what I like."Everyone clapped.Brenda's gift, a cashm

    Carter leaned back in his chair, smiling."For your next wedding ring," he said. "Since the last one ended up in the dirt."The whole table burst out laughing.Chloe laughed until she had to hold Blake's arm. Even Margaret smiled behind her napkin.Sophia's hand went tight in Alexander's.He let go of it gently, bent down, and picked up the coin.It was a quarter. Cheap. Shiny. He turned it over once in his fingers."Thank you, Carter," he said. "I'll keep it.""Keep it?" Carter snorted. "It's the only money you've got.""Then I'd better keep it safe," Alexander said, and slipped it into his shirt pocket.At the far end of the table, Victoria set down her glass."Enough jokes," she said. "Derek has waited long enough. You know the price, Alexander. I told you on the phone.""Remind me.""Two hundred thousand dollars. Tonight." She did not even look at him. She looked at her nails. "Or you get down on your knees in front of my grandmother, and you beg my brother to forgive you. Now.""
