A cold operating table, or the depths of despair: that was the end of Su Wanyi’s previous life. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to her sophomore year of high school, to the starting point where nothing had happened yet and everything could still be changed.
Once, she had been the campus belle adored by everyone, yet she couldn’t see the poison beneath the sweet words or recognize the sincerity behind someone’s silence. In the end, she fell into a fate from which there was no return. Reborn, she was determined to shed the labels people had placed on her, stay away from her false “friend” Liu Yiyi, and live only for herself and the people she cared about.
The school was just as it had always been, but she was no longer the perfect porcelain doll. Aloof, distant, and occasionally rebellious, she became an “odd one out” in her classmates’ eyes. Only Lu Chen, the antisocial top student who kept to a corner of the classroom, stirred ripples in her heart, frozen by her rebirth. Had she overlooked his silent protection in her previous life?
She approached him cautiously and awkwardly tried to repay his kindness. A day of classroom duty, an umbrella, asking him for help with a difficult problem... The campus belle’s gentle warmth, as she slowly thawed, seemed to show itself only to him. And Lu Chen gradually discovered that behind this seemingly untouchable girl’s eyes lay a resilience much like his own, along with an indescribable sadness, as if she had already weathered a lifetime of hardship.
Their mutual approach was warm and healing, but they had no idea that the venomous snake of jealousy was already lurking in the shadows. When a malicious false accusation suddenly struck, he stood in front of her without hesitation, shattering the scheme with his unwavering trust. As they weathered one storm after another together, their feelings quietly blossomed.
Reborn, Su Wanyi only wanted to make up for her regrets, but unexpectedly, her heart began beating anew. It turned out that the sweetest smile of the campus belle had always been destined to bloom only for the antisocial top student willing to stand against the whole world for her.
It was very well written, and it was particularly refreshing to see the part where Lu Chen was cleared and Liu Qingqing was captured.
