[High School Healing × Secret Crush × Sweet Romance with a Happy Ending]
[Gentle, Wealthy, Well-Behaved Heiress × Cold on the Outside, Wildly Devoted Guard Dog]
Yu Huan’s second life begins with a thank-you she never got to say.
Her previous life ended in a mess. The only bright spot in her final moments was a cool, distant boy named Lin Jiu.
Now she’s back in high school, before anything has begun, and all she wants is to quietly repay the kindness she owes him.
So she becomes the most unexpected intruder in his world.
While everyone looks on in confusion, she keeps approaching him in his quiet corner, offering him breakfast, borrowing his notes, and smiling like a ray of sunshine that has no business entering his abyss.
She doesn’t know that Lin Jiu has grown used to the darkness.
Until she appears.
Her clumsy yet determined approach is like a key, unexpectedly picking open the door to his locked heart.
Once he gets used to her warmth, he starts wanting more. He wants this light all to himself.
Later, in an alley where no one can see, the boy who is always silent gently draws her beneath his shadow. His eyes are red at the corners, and his voice is hoarse as he gives in:
“Huanhuan.”
“Don’t smile at anyone else like that.”
“...I won’t be able to stand it.”
