Reborn: The Regretful Campus Heartthrob and the Scheming Childhood Friend's Obsessive Pursuit

Reborn heroine in a campus setting + possessive childhood friend competing for her + regretful campus heartthrob's road to redemption

In her previous life, she was a miserable pawn controlled by the plot in a protagonist's world. After marrying the campus heartthrob, her life plunged into hell.

On their wedding day, a plot left her legs disabled. Her husband fooled around behind her back, all because she was gentle, came from a wealthy family, and was easy to control: the perfect candidate for marriage.

She tried to die alongside her husband, but fate wouldn't let her escape, and he killed her instead.

After her death, she saw a man whose face had faded from her memories guarding her grave, tears falling as he kissed her headstone.

Her childhood friend, the older boy who had once been like a brother to her, killed her phony husband with his own hands, then died lying before her grave.

Given another chance, Song Yici stayed away from the campus heartthrob she'd pursued for five years.

Tormented by nightmares and unable to sleep, he prayed at temples and shrines, becoming the sleeping pill she couldn't go a night without.

In a drunken moment in the stairwell, she pinned her childhood friend against the wall, lifted his shirt, and undid his belt.

Her bright, watery eyes gleamed as she pouted sweetly at him. “Give it to me, big brother~”

When he refused, she glared at him with a pout. “Big brother, you're a liar!”

Pei Yanxing had always openly favored his childhood sweetheart, but for a while, he failed to notice that her gaze had stayed on someone else for five years.

Later, when the campus heartthrob tearfully called to say he loved her, a tender “Baby” came through the phone, followed by a strange man's undisguised laughter.

With red-rimmed eyes, the childhood sweetheart sobbed and snuggled into her childhood friend's arms. Even as he bullied her, she murmured that she loved him.

The amnesiac heartthrob came crawling back and went mad with jealousy, while the childhood friend held his sweetheart close and kissed her.

His devotion was loud and unmistakable, and its echo carried through endless cycles of time and space.

Someone had once offered up a devout heart so she could enter the cycle of rebirth untainted. She was no longer a pawn in someone else's game, cornered and manipulated at will.
