Burned By My Ex, Reborn As His King's Mate Novels & Stories

Ugh, I went looking for this last month and hit a wall. 'Burned by My Ex, Reborn as His King's Mate' seems to be stuck in that weird digital-only phase a lot of these webnovels go through. I found the text version on a few subscription apps, but no audio. It's a bummer because the premise totally sounds like something that'd be fun to listen to while doing chores—all that drama and royal intrigue. I keep checking the usual audiobook platforms every couple weeks, hoping it'll pop up, but no luck yet. Maybe the author's still building an audience before investing in a narrator?

On a tangent, I did find that some similar reborn-as-a-mate stories from the same publisher eventually got audio versions, but it took like a year after the serialization wrapped. So there's hope, but for now, you're gonna have to read it the old-fashioned way. My eyes got tired after a few chapters, honestly.

So I had to figure this out recently when a friend recommended the series. It's one of those web serials with a few official and fan names floating around. The reading order gets tricky because the main story split into arcs with slightly different titles depending on where you read it. The core series you want is 'Burned by My Ex, Reborn as His King's Mate.' Start with that. It's sometimes listed just as 'Burned by My Ex' on some apps for the first arc.

After the main story concludes, there's a direct sequel that continues the main couple's story, often called 'Burned by My Ex: The King's Redemption' or something similar. I've seen 'The King's Eternal Mate' used too. It picks up right after the final battle in the original. Reading the main story and then that sequel is the essential path.

There are also a few side-story collections that delve into side characters, like the beta pair or the king's past. Those are optional but published after the main sequel. So the clean order is: Original main story -> Direct sequel -> Optional side stories (any order). Check the author's page on a site like WebNovel for the most accurate listing; the fan wikis can be a bit outdated on the sequel title.

Just finished listening to it on Everand last night – that's Scribd's international version if you're not in the US. My library hold was taking forever, so I caved and got a trial.

It's definitely on there, narrated by that one voice actor who does a lot of these omega-verse stories. The production is pretty solid, though the sound mixing feels a bit flat in some of the big confrontation scenes. Still, having it available on an unlimited plan is a huge win.

I ended up binging the whole thing over a weekend while doing chores. The convenience made the overly dramatic alpha posturing way more tolerable.
