[Two male leads + both reborn + both virgins + the second male lead wins + unrequited love comes true + bittersweet push and pull + groveling for forgiveness + happy ending]
In his previous life, Zuo Xingran made one fatal mistake:
He passed up a whole forest and insisted on hanging himself from the bitter melon tree that was the aloof campus heartthrob Meng Yanqing!
And what did he get?
He pursued him for a year, dated him for three, and was married to him for two, only to end up with:
A husband who seemed to have something going on with his assistant
His mother dying, and his husband divorcing him
His company going bankrupt and all his assets seized
A plane crash that killed him outright
Reborn at the scene where he was forced into a relationship, Zuo Xingran looked at the two options and laughed out loud:
A. Keep groveling at the feet of the aloof campus heartthrob? “I'd rather die!”
B. Turn around and throw his arms around the gentle top student? “He seems like a pretty good choice?”
But this time, the story didn't go as expected.
Why was Ye Zhiqiu, forever as gentle as jade, pinning him against the wall with red-rimmed eyes and asking, “Ranran, you won't leave me again this time, will you?”
And why was Meng Yanqing, so cold in his previous life, kneeling and begging him to look his way one more time?
[Reader's note]
Both leads are reborn and both are virgins. Revenge and sweet moments in equal measure.
A tsundere, stubborn and domineering bottom VS a gentle, scheming top who plans several moves ahead
At first: “Ye Zhiqiu seems like a pretty good guy.” → Later: “Ye Zhiqiu, why are you locking the door?!”
Major twist: The gentle second male lead you thought you knew is actually the most deeply hidden hunter. He proceeds cautiously, one step at a time.
When the little cat belatedly realizes he's been taken home by a bad guy
“Ye Zhiqiu, why are you pretending to be a good person?”
“How else would I get Ranran to jump into my arms on his own?”
In a word: There are plenty of men in the world. If one doesn't work out, find another.
