is an (alpha) actor who is also part of a really wealthy family, though his wealth surprisingly isn't focused on too much. He's reborn 4 years into the past to age 23 (?) at the start of the novel for no apparent reason, and convinces himself he's happy to be rid of his husband, who had forced him into a marriage some years back. However, upon meeting his now 19 year old husband, he of course quickly falls back in love, despite his initial denial of "not being into cold omegas."

He's a generally likeable MC, and honestly the reason I kept reading this to the end. Though he starts off as what I can only call a dumb dog, by the midpoint he definitely gained a lot more awareness, and while I found it off-putting how little he communicated, he was at least a little better than the ML in that regard. He's pretty much your standard devoted and doting gong.

is a seemingly cold up-and-coming singer/current college student who's actually just extremely h**ny and pretending not to be. He was amusing at first, but I got really tired of his back and forth behavior- he never says what he means, he's always hiding his real feelings, and he's very hot and cold about his interest in the MC. I frankly found his lack of communication really immature, and it was hard to understand his behavior as he's just so fake. I'd give him some grace in that he's only 19 in the present, but also after 4 years of marriage in the past timeline he literally never changed, so it's hard to make that argument.

The ML also gets really caught up on the idea that MC only likes him because of his cold persona, so that's why he feels like he needs to keep up the cold persona, but why even be so cold in the first place? His actions just had no reasonable basis to them, and it made it really hard for me to empathize with him or even just like him very much. I find this character archetype of the cold shou to be really unappealing when there's no compelling psychological reason for it (not to mention how he's also just faking it the whole time).

the ML did have affection for the MC and treated him as his most important person
