The Seventh Time I Hugged You

Before meeting Shi Zhi, Qin An's life was all about making money, making money, and making money. After meeting Shi Zhi, she discovered there were so many things in life that mattered. Just when she thought they could spend the rest of their lives together, Shi Zhi died at twenty-eight. Watching the woman she loved take her own life to follow her was so painful Qin An could hardly breathe. Then an accident happened, and she was reborn fifteen days before they first met. She thought, This time, we'll still be together. As expected, they met again, got to know each other, and fell in love. But once again, Shi Zhi died at twenty-eight. And once again came a suicide, a rebirth, and the same endless cycle. Gradually, Qin An couldn't bear to watch the woman she loved die again, so she tried to run away each time they were supposed to meet. But it was no use. They always met for one reason or another, and then fell in love all over again. On her seventh time around, she made a wish: This is my seventh rebirth. If possible, I hope she never meets me, and... lives to the end of her life. A time-space administrator named Nan An told her that Xiao Shi was supposed to live to be eighty. Only then did Qin An realize that the cause of it all was that they were never meant to meet or fall in love, and Xiao Shi was never meant to take her own life. Because of her wish, on the seventh time around, she personally sent Xiao Shi to a parallel universe. Her other self, far away on Purple Star, made up for that seventh embrace. What, does that not count as a hug...? P.S. Rebirth + seven lifetimes + two female leads This is another novel by Dafa, sort of a prequel, told mainly from the perspective of Qin An on Earth. If you've read the other one, you should be able to connect the dots. It might be a tragic ending, but don't forget Purple Star.
