An early writing exercise, now complete [Campus romance + mutual healing + happy ending]
[Sunshine, healing heiress × handsome, tragic, innocent mute boy]
In her previous life, Lin Jiaosui used the wages she'd been saving for ages to go traveling.
But along the way, she ran into a pickpocket, got kidnapped, and was caught in a torrential downpour, a landslide, and a mudslide.
Reborn, she was told by the System that her death had been brought forward, and given a chance to live again.
But she'd have to complete missions to keep herself alive.
Completing missions offered a chance to gain either 1. eternal youth at eighteen, or 2. a life so long she'd become practically immortal!
Her mission target turned out to be Su Xu, the kind soul who had dug her out of the disaster zone in her previous life!
He was the unremarkable mute boy from her high school, with a devastatingly handsome face!
He was a future tech mogul, famous the world over!
He was the mysterious tycoon who bought her company without ever showing his face!
Early on in the missions, she came to one conclusion: the meaner she was to him, the faster her progress!
Midway through, she came to another conclusion: the more she praised him, the faster her progress!
By the end, she reached one conclusion: it was all a lie!!!

At first, a faint, wavering glimmer slipped into the endless night. He chose to ignore it, for he had already become one with the darkness and had lived in a lightless night for as long as he could remember.
Gradually, that light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the night like day until he could no longer ignore it.
Later, he began to yearn for that light, wanting to lose himself in it forever, until death.

“Su Xu, what did you want to tell me in that note?”
“Lin Jiaosui, I've liked you for a long time.”
Two-way redemption. Although the male protagonist is outwardly repulsive, he still wants someone to break into his heart. They are all babies with inner flaws.
