Somehow, It Was Always You

Ten years of marriage, without love. On the way to get divorced, they were in a car accident. He wrenched the steering wheel, turning the driver's side toward the impact. “We’re not divorced yet.” Those were his last words before he lost consciousness. When they opened their eyes again, they had both been reborn at twenty. This time, she no longer needed a marriage alliance. She would take control of the Shen family on her own. Her sister spread rumors? She threw the surveillance footage in her face. A professor gave her a hard time? He stood up to defend her. Later, she learned something. During their ten years of marriage in her previous life, it was never the housekeeper who brought that bowl of lotus seed soup to the study every night. One day, he cornered her. “I heard Grandpa Shen is looking for someone new for you?” Shen Zhaoyi raised an eyebrow. “Classmate Gu, want to compete for the position?” Gu Chengyun leaned in closer. “After sharing a bed for ten years in our previous life, do you think I need to compete?” They thought being reborn meant they could start over. Until the brakes failed a second time. This time, she threw herself toward him. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the ICU in the real world. Two car accidents, two brushes with death, and each repaid in kind. He smiled at her. “What conditions would you like to add when we renew the contract?” Shen Zhaoyi gripped his hand, her eyes reddening as the corners of her mouth lifted: “Add a term. A lifetime.” They married in their previous life. They fell in love after being reborn. And they must take turns risking their lives to protect each other.
