My Top Student Crush Isn't Sweet, So I'll Try the Chaste Campus Heartthrob

[Campus Rebirth + The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead + The Ex Regrets It Too Late + Secret Crush + Sweet Romance]

Xia Zhi loved the poor but brilliant classmate Lu Xingyan so much that she fell out with her family and even went out of her way to care for his mistress during her postpartum confinement.

She thought Lu Xingyan had merely lost his way, and that if she treated him even better, he would come around. But instead, as she lay dying, she learned that he was marrying his mistress.

Su Muyan was the school heartthrob. Kind and gentle, he was loved by teachers and classmates alike. He always seemed calm, as if nothing could stir his heart.

That is, until one day, everyone saw the model student, top of his class in both conduct and academics, shout at the people bullying Xia Zhi: “Remember this: don’t bother her again, or you’ll face the consequences.”

After being reborn, Xia Zhi planned to close off her heart and focus on building a bright future for herself. She never expected the school heartthrob to start following her around.

“Didn’t you tell Lu Xingyan to stop interrupting my studies? What are you doing now?”

Su Muyan wore a faint smile, his eyes fixed intently on Xia Zhi. “If I didn’t threaten him, how else would I get a chance?”

“What chance?”

“That’s a secret. I’ll tell you after the college entrance exams.”

Xia Zhi thought Su Muyan was a strange person. He seemed to enjoy going out of his way to help, tutoring her in the subjects she struggled with and standing up for her whenever she was bullied.

(The male lead has secretly loved the female lead all along. Once he learns she doesn’t like the scumbag, he starts fighting to win her over.)
