After Being Reborn, I Dragged the Aloof Top Student Off His Pedestal

Reborn in her third year of high school, Lin Xiaoxiao set herself two KPIs:

Get into one of the top two universities, and outdo everyone else.

Turn campus heartthrob Lu Xingchen into the male lead of her very own sweet romance.

Armed with the wisdom and shamelessness of a corporate wage slave, she launched her campaign:

“Lu, I hear your notes are really good. Could I borrow them to make copies?”

“Lu, what a coincidence. You’re taking this route too?”

Watching her clumsy performance, Lu Xingchen played along, thinking to himself: Her acting is awful, but... she’s kind of cute.

Later, when Lin Xiaoxiao finally got what she wanted, she found a stack of photographs in Lu Xingchen’s study, showing her at different points in her previous life.

He wrapped his arms around her from behind, rested his chin on the crown of her head, and chuckled:

“Dummy. The coincidences you believed in were all reunions after a long separation that I’d been plotting for ages.”

Lin Xiaoxiao: I thought I was the one with all the tricks, but you were the secret boss all along!

Lu Xingchen: Mm. So now the boss is claiming his prize: your whole life.
