【Reborn】+【System】+【Youth and School】+【Childhood Sweetheart】+【White Moonlight】+【Making Up for Regrets】
Chen Yang died consumed by regret and was reborn on the day he confessed to Lin Yao, the class beauty, in his senior year of high school.
In his previous life, he spent seven years groveling after Lin Yao, only to watch helplessly as she fell into another man's arms.
He had no career to speak of and lived in poverty. The only one who stayed by his side was his childhood sweetheart, Shen Zhirou. She waited for him until he was thirty and was willing to marry him without a bride price.
But Chen Yang was insecure and cowardly. He took out all his frustrations over his unhappy life on his wife. The night before she slit her wrists, he even slapped her.
“Chen Yang, if there's another life... I don't want to know you again.”
As he looked at her suicide note and her cold body, regret consumed Chen Yang. He jumped to his death.
When he opened his eyes again, Chen Yang was eighteen, holding a gift for Lin Yao.
In this life, he swore to close his heart to love, focus on making money, and never bother the gentle Shen Zhirou.
But then the 【Regret System】 suddenly bound itself to him:
「Task: During your two years of marriage, your childhood sweetheart Shen Zhirou never looked down on your insecurity or complained that you were broke. She quietly devoted herself to your family, yet you never hugged her once. That's a regret. Go give her a warm hug!」
「Reward: 1,000 RMB.」
Chen Yang: “Who'd waste time dating after being Reborn? Not even a dog would!”
“Besides, I have to fulfill Shen Zhirou's last wish from my previous life. I won't bother her.”
【Ding! Since the Host refuses to make up for his regrets, the System will revoke his rebirth privileges.】
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
