[Gentle, resilient childhood sweetheart heroine × scheming, proud, jealous childhood-friend hero]
[One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first and only, sweet romance + reborn + university campus + childhood sweethearts + the hero’s long road to winning her back]
In her previous life, Su Zhenyue was blinded by Jiang Yichen’s gentle manners and saw her childhood friend’s younger brother’s relentless pursuit as a prison.
When she caught Jiang Yichen acting intimate with another woman, a towering blaze suddenly erupted as she confronted him in despair.
Trapped and badly injured in the thick smoke, she watched Jiang Yichen flee without looking back. Just as she gave in to despair, Shen Xingmian charged into the flames and wrapped her in his arms like an iron vise.
A beam broke loose and crashed down on him amid the fire.
His shirt had burned through across his back, his flesh scorched and blackened. As he looked down at her, the obsession in his eyes burned hotter than the flames.
“Run... Jiang Yichen already ran...” She pushed at him, her voice choked by the smoke.
He gave a quiet laugh, his breath carrying the metallic scent of blood as it brushed her forehead. “He can run. I’m not going anywhere.”
As the beam came crashing down, he pressed her into the hollow of his neck. His last words came amid the sound of breaking bones: “Su Zhenyue, you’re mine, forever...”
Only then did she understand that the childhood friend who was always telling her to “be good” was so obsessed with her that he would burn everything to ash.
When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn on her university campus.
This time, she saw that Jiang Yichen’s tenderness was poison wrapped in sugar, while Shen Xingmian’s possessiveness was a love devoted to her alone.
The searing pain from her past life was still there, but her heart couldn’t lie.
She rose onto her toes and kissed him. “Don’t fight over me. I’m yours.”
He stiffened all over, then tightened his hold on her as if he could crush her. His voice trembled. “Silly girl... You finally see me?”
This time, she willingly fastened his lock around her!
