Reborn, I Won Over My Archrival

For the sake of a marriage alliance between their families, Xu Tang married the older brother of her sworn enemy, Gu Yan.

Only after marriage did she gradually peel away his refined and gentle facade, revealing that what lay beneath wasn’t tenderness, but a hatred that ran to the bone. She kept her sharp edges hidden and spent three years as a meek shadow at his side, lying low and enduring everything as she tried to uncover a deeply buried secret. But when she finally got hold of the bloodstained evidence, she was horrified to learn that the “accident” that had killed her parents had been a conspiracy orchestrated by the man standing before her.

Clutching the evidence, she desperately fled overseas, only to plunge into endless darkness in an unavoidable car accident.

As a wandering spirit, she went nowhere else. Instead, she clung to Gu Yan. He had been her rival since childhood, and whenever they met, they would trade barbs and fight. She watched him get blackout drunk late at night while staring at a photo of her holding a trophy in high school. She watched him quietly crush every hidden threat that had ever tried to harm her. She watched him clutch her death certificate, his fingertip rubbing over the two characters of her name, “Xu Tang,” while an unfamiliar mix of crimson fury and despair surged in his eyes.

So he had been hiding so much from her.

A bone-deep resentment and a long-delayed shock suddenly dragged her back. When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the cicada-filled summer when the college entrance exams had ended.

In the mirror was her vibrant seventeen-year-old self. Xu Tang pressed a hand to her chest, where a determination hotter than any she had felt in her previous life was beating.

Mom, Dad, this time I won’t let the two of you suffer the same fate. I won’t let any conspiracy touch our family.

Gu Yan.

This time, I’ll be the one to come to you.

This time, I won’t let you go.
