[Rebirth + mutual pining + healing, a gentle, rational, restrained man × a steadfast, bold, clever woman]
Shen Juewei never thought she could get a second chance at life.
Three years after learning that Shen Shiyun had died of stomach cancer, she received a box of his belongings: a notebook filled with his private thoughts, a stack of train tickets for journeys between their two cities, and the eraser she had casually given him, which he had treasured for years. The person who always smiled so gently had secretly loved her since middle school.

“Juewei skipped breakfast again today, so I brought her a carton of milk. She was happy.”
“She looked so serious playing games. She was really cool.”
…
Weeping uncontrollably before his grave in the pouring rain, she opened her eyes again and found herself back in her high school classroom. Sunlight spilled through the windows onto the desks. Shen Shiyun was still alive!

This time, she drew up a meticulous “plan.”
She had always thought she was the one secretly pining for him, but when she finally drew closer, she discovered:
- The top student who seemed so calm and detached would quietly slow down when explaining problems to her.
- The man who was kind to everyone would turn red at the ears whenever she handed him something.
“Juewei, about this problem…”
“Pick C.” She answered firmly. “But what I really want to know is, would you go see a movie with me tomorrow?”

This is a carefully plotted romance that crosses time, and a story of two very different souls saving each other.
