Synopsis:

Li Xin, the former singles skating world champion, died unexpectedly and was reborn in Mu Huan's body. His body was gone, his savings were gone and the glory he struggled for was gone. He was at a loss as to how to live this life!

Mu Huan looked down at himself. Since he was now an alpha, perhaps he could try pairs skating this time?! As for the partner... Mu Huan looked at his former self.

Tsk. Is he so down and frustrated? Isn't it just that his pheromones don't smell good? It doesn't matter. I don't mind!

What? Your pheromones stink? You want to give up on yourself? Hey hey! Pull yourself together! If you want to be pinned to the ground and tormented then come! I will teach you to understand with a shock-type education! My parents still need you to take care of them! Give me a good resolve!

Later, Mu Huan felt resentment for this person failing to meet expectations and was impatient to see improvement. Mu Huan grabbed Li Xin's collar, held him against the wall and said bitterly, "Do you know how many thoughts I put into you? You really let me down."

That night, the moon was like a silver plate and the clouds moved leisurely. Li Xin was stunned for a moment before rosy clouds slowly appeared on his face. The beauty was boundless.

Impressions: Looking for a new read so decided to check out rainbowturtle's works!! I always like the novels she picks up for translation ^^

So our MC is reborn. In the previous life, he was an Omega. Because of his smelly pheromones, he couldn't do pair skating cos his partner might be affected by his scent. Quick background: Its an ABO world and pair figure skating is a famous sport cos when the partners' pheromones blend, the audience could smell it (even Betas) so its quite an experience. This also makes this a highly paid sports (they can do performance shows if there's no competitions). Unfortunately, our MC can't do it so he focused on single skating and competitions only. He became Olympic champion and then was suddenly reborn.

He was reborn as an Alpha figure skater in the same school/team. This Alpha was short-lived in the previous life (died in a love triangle dispute) and also quit the figure skating national team. MC comes in and avoided 'his' death. Now that he's reborn as him, he wants to do pair skating that he gave up before while also taking care of his previous 'self', make his past Omega self go more smoothly, encountering less problems etc. Unfortunately, by the time he came, the Alpha has already quit the team, so he needs to work hard to get back in, he also has a bad reputation cos the Alpha is the rich playboy type. He befriends his Omega self , encouraging him and works hard to be accepted back to the team. THEN, he finds out the reason why the Alpha quit, because his pheromones are SMELLY!! (Lololol). The person himself can't smell his own pheromones so he didn't know what it smells like, but they said its bitter and fishy.

He asks his Omega self to be his pair skating partner. He knows that his past self is very careful not to secrete pheromones (he is also curious what his past pheromones smelled like), plus he is familiar with his strengths, habits, movements etc. which is needed for pair skating. They pair up, and they did great: their synchronicity is high, they can guess what the other is thinking (their thought processes is the same), in short, they're a perfect match. He is very gentle/considerate to his past self, sincerely wishing that he lives a better life this time. So his past Omega self can't help but feel moved! I mean, there's a handsome guy who takes care of you in all aspects, and don't let you be wronged whether you complain about it or not. His past self has began to change, a little more cheerful, spoiled, confident/bold and MC also feels himself being tempted~~ >///<

They decided to try having a relationship and they get along same as before XD If there's any friction, it's that MC wants to know what shou/his Omega self's pheromones smell like. He already knows what his Alpha pheromones is (shou found out what it is) and the same way, he wants to help his past self get past this knot/insecurity. Finally, #SPOILER SPOILER They won the Championship and rolled the sheets as celebration~~ So they had to blend their pheromones and it smelled good! Finally, they did a performance and faceslapped everyone.

I like this. There's the ABO twist and figure skating (I've read 3 Figure Skating BL now~). Our Alpha MC is very good, very gentle, mature in caring for his past Omega self. He knows his fears/insecurities, how to comfort and support him. Warm gong!!! At the same time, we know from MC's POV  how much Omega shou has changed for the better, more playful/less thorny and the last hurdle with his pheromone was also fixed in the end. It's quite short, but just right. Extras is MC & shou living together (they moved dorms) and MC visiting shou's family (MC's parents in the last life)

Read this for sports with ABO twist. Sweet~
