He's Not a Pitiful Little Thing

[Reborn in school + secret crush + mutual love + both devoted to each other + happy ending]

*

No one knew that the first time Shen Yanzhou saw Cheng Zhiyi as an adult, he thought she was adorably silly.

When he later learned her name, his heart became tied to hers, and he fell for her so deeply that he couldn't hold back. He couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he worked hard to climb to the top of the pyramid, all so she could live without a care.

At first, Cheng Zhiyi had no idea he secretly loved her.

Throughout high school, she kept track of all his interests, followed his every step, and chased after him to the same university. But in the end, she still got nowhere.

Just as Cheng Zhiyi summoned the courage to confess, disaster struck her family. Her parents died, and her company collapsed. She could only bury the love she had kept in her heart even deeper.

After three years of hard work, just as the company finally got back on track, she was suddenly assassinated. She died at the very moment she wanted him most.

As she closed her eyes for the last time, a hazy figure appeared in her heart once more. But when she reached out to touch him, her hand passed right through his body.

Later, she watched helplessly as he gave up a fortune worth tens of billions just to send the person who had killed her to hell. She thought he would go on to enjoy a happy family life, but he died tragically in front of her grave.

It took her a whole lifetime to understand that his love for her had reached his very core.

She opened her eyes and found herself back in high school.

She was still the delicate, spoiled darling with a notorious reputation, cherished by everyone around her.

Shen Yanzhou had a hard life. He would do anything just to survive.

Then he met Cheng Zhiyi, and wanted her to stand at the very top of the pyramid.

But all Cheng Zhiyi wanted was to treat him well and lay the whole world at his feet.
