Number 69: 69 is slang for when two partners arrange their bodies to perform oral sex on each other at the same time in a way that looks like number 69. Long live France! Slang 69 dates back, if you can believe it, to the French Revolution. The term is found in a French work from 1790, Les catéchismes des putains, attributed to the revolutionary figure Théroigne de Méricour, who described a sixty-nine, or "sixty-nine" in French. English picked up 69 in the 1880s, with its numeric shortcut, 69, familiar in the 1970s. As long as there have been humans, however, there has probably been the practice of a 69. This is described in the ancient Indian Kama Sutra, for example, as the congressional stance of a crow. The position involves different-sex or same-sex partners lying on top of each other - genitals or anus - at the same time, usually achieved by lying on their side or one on top.

She has always felt home in north, in the valleys that filled themselves with her namesake and with this man beside he, arrows slung over his shoulder and laughter in his eyes. Silla and her betrothed would never take that place. Seol opens her mouth; it is now or never. “Don’t say it,” he cuts her off, a hand stretched out for a lonely snowflake to perch upon. It turns translucent against his roughed palm. “My hand isn’t made for snowflakes,” he sounds joyous, as he always does – when she is weeping within. His eyes remain resolutely elsewhere. “I’ve been summoned to the garrison,” he continues in that same flat tone. “My last duty here will be to deliver your highness to your betrothed.” She is unaware of the tear that has escaped, until an ice cold thumb brushes it off. “Don’t cry,” he says then and she sees the laughing spark in his eyes for what it truly is; longing. “It breaks my heart.” ***

The screech of brakes tore through the rainy night as Zoe Xu, twenty-nine, drew her last breath in a fatal car crash. The final image seared into her mind was Hugh Pei holding another woman, Lila Wei, in his arms—a sight that, combined with the news of her family's bankruptcy, became the cruelest epitaph for her short life. The marriage that began as a business alliance had ended with her tragic death, paving the way for him and his "one true love." But at the moment of her death, fate hit the reset button. Zoe awakens in her bedroom, three months into her marriage with Hugh. The crystal chandelier still sparkles, but the woman in the mirror has not yet been worn down by his emotional neglect. A glimmer of foolish hope for their marriage still lingers in her eyes. This time, the proud heiress of A-City is done being subservient. She is determined to tear down the "perfect couple" charade. She watches his cold detachment with indifference and, this time, is the first to serve the divorce papers. The love and hate of her past life have burned to ashes; all she wants is to reclaim what her family lost and live for herself. But then, things begin to go off the rails. Hugh, who once treated their home like a hotel, starts coming home on time. The man who never spared a thought for her feelings now brings her hot coffee when she works late. His strange behavior sends ripples across the calm surface of Zoe's heart. Is this the butterfly effect of her rebirth, or is he plotting something new? A chance encounter at "Encounter Café" brings an even bigger surprise. Lila Wei, the girl Hugh cherished, is there, bustling between tables in an apron, her smile as bright as the rumors say. But looking into her eyes, Zoe sees an innocence that startles her. Perhaps this "one true love" never knew she was a weapon destined to shatter another woman's life. As Hugh and Lila meet and fall in love again, just as they did in the past, Zoe stands at a crossroads, questioning for the first time: is revenge the only answer? From quiet endurance to sharp brilliance, Zoe reclaims her family's honor in the world of business while navigating an emotional tug-of-war that reveals the truth of the heart. Hugh's belated affection, Lila's innocent gaze, and the growing pains of her own rediscovery weave a complex web. She finally understands that rebirth isn't about repeating hatred, but about the chance to choose: to drown in the pain of the past, or to walk towards a future that is truly her own. This is a story of female awakening—a battle fought when the illusion of marriage is stripped away and the halo of a "perfect rival" shatters. It’s a story where two evolving souls collide and spark amidst the city's neon lights. You'll find an emotional chess game of sweetness and angst, the satisfying thrill of a comeback against all odds, and the courage of a woman rebuilding herself from the ruins. This urban romance—a blend of second chances, powerful protagonists, and real-world questions—will pull you in. After all, life offers no true do-overs, but we always have the power to rewrite our ending.
