The night Xu Yanxing saw intimate photos of Lu Yan and Lin Leke, she pressed a knife to her own neck and forced Lu Yan to sign the divorce papers, ending their seven-year farce of a marriage.

The day after the divorce, she was forced to jump into the Yue River. As she fell, Xu Yanxing saw Fu Yancheng swimming toward her against the light.

When Xu Yanxing woke again, she found herself reborn in the year she had finished middle school. She decided she would no longer trail after Lu Yan, and coldly shut him out of her life.

Lu Yan begged her frantically. “I treated you badly before, but I’ll do better from now on, okay?”

Xu Yanxing coldly told him, “There is no ‘from now on.’ The Xu Yanxing from before is already dead.”

…

Seeing Xu Yanxing and Fu Yancheng together, Lu Yan stopped Fu Yancheng, consumed with jealousy. “You know everything has a proper order. I got here first!”

Fu Yancheng replied, “Who says you were definitely the first one here?”

As time went by, Xu Yanxing uncovered the truth about being reborn. She and Fu Yancheng hadn’t been close in her previous life, yet his love for her had begun back then. Faced with the weight of his love, Xu Yanxing asked him, “Are you crazy?”

Fu Yancheng held her close. “Was the water in the Yue River cold? You’ve always been so afraid of the cold.”

Crying in his arms, Xu Yanxing asked, “What about you? Wasn’t the river cold? Was I worth risking your life for?”

Fu Yancheng answered, “Being able to hold you again makes it all worth it.”

Thankfully, this time she caught his love and held on tight!
