Reborn: This Time, I Won't Run Away

The heroine is reborn, and the male lead isn’t a strong type.

Bai Muxue never thought she was a good person. One after another, the people who treated her well left her as she grew up. Little by little, she got used to being alone, used to relying on no one.

She grew strong and cold. The more she cared, the more she wanted to distance herself. The deeper she wanted to fall, the more she wanted to run away.

The best way she knows to love someone is not to hurt them or get close to them.

Mu Zihan knows his Muxue-jie is strong. She doesn’t need anyone to protect her or depend on anyone to survive. But he still wants to protect her as best he can. He wants to make himself stronger, even if he can never keep up with her. He’s willing to keep chasing after her. He doesn’t ask to walk by her side for the rest of his life. He only hopes to get a little closer, to keep the right to protect her, so she’ll have somewhere to return to whenever she’s tired.

But even as he was leaving, he still hadn’t managed to see her. He had already let go of hope, yet he was still disappointed. It turned out the two things weren’t all that connected. At least he still had plenty he could leave her. Even if he had never possessed her, he still had the freedom to protect her.

Meanwhile, Bai Muxue was abroad when Fang Lin called to tell her Mu Zihan was gone and had left her a large inheritance. She only gave a quiet, “Oh.”

Then she showed no further emotion, because her heart was empty, so empty she could feel nothing.

After unexpectedly being reborn, she doesn’t want to hide away again this time. At the very least, she won’t hide so far away.
