Reborn: Young Master Gu Insists We Make Our Fake Romance Real

[Reborn + second male lead takes the spotlight + male lead fails to win her back + sweet romance and interactions] [Gentle, restrained, hands-on heir vs. dazzling, proud heiress] In her previous life, Zhou Wanbai was used by Chen Xizhu. After her family fell into ruin, he imprisoned her in a basement and tortured her to death. Reborn at twenty, she decides to stay away from that scumbag and change her fate. To avoid being hounded by Chen Xizhu again, she sets her sights on the young master of the capital’s elite circle and asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend. Gu Nanchen was born at the very top of the pyramid. Everyone assumes a young master like him must be arrogant, haughty, and dismissive of everything. Zhou Wanbai thinks so too. But once she gets to know him, she discovers that he is not only as gentle as jade, but also a modest gentleman who carries himself with grace in everything he does. At their first meeting, he says, “Your name, Wanwan Qingsi Xian, Xianxian Baiyu Gou, suits you perfectly.” Then he adds, “Xijìn Fuyu, Nanchen Meiyu. That’s my name.” Later, when she suggests turning their pretend romance into the real thing, he says, “In this life, I’ve been lucky in both family and influence, more fortunate than most people could imagine. But my greatest good fortune was meeting you and becoming the one and only person in your life.” After the betrayal and pain she endured in her previous life, Zhou Wanbai thought she would never believe in love again. It wasn’t until she met Gu Nanchen that she realized life doesn’t stop because of past failures, and that love is an instinct written into everyone. Falling in love with Gu Nanchen was simply her own instinctive response to love.
