Reborn as My Ex, I Survive a Horror Dungeon by Smoothing Things Over with the Villain

Yu Nanzhi stayed up all night revising a supernatural short-drama script. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the body of a doomed supporting character who shared her name, with a freshly signed breakup agreement still clutched in her hand. In the original story, the supporting character thought her boyfriend was too dull and controlling, so she dumped Shen Tinglan in a fit of anger and sent him into the Midnight Elevator ghost story. In the end, he became a forbidden entity and took her away.

She was just about to tear up the agreement when the apartment building suddenly lost power, and the elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor. When the doors opened, Shen Tinglan stood inside, his suit immaculate and his expression calm.

Yu Nanzhi’s scalp prickled with fear. The cowardly System shrieked in her mind, “Keep him calm! His resentment toward you is at ninety-nine. If it rises any higher, you’ll both get dragged into an instance!”

She had no choice but to steel herself and rush over to hug him. “The breakup agreement is void. I wasn’t thinking straight.”

Shen Tinglan looked down at her. A few seconds later, he pulled the agreement from her hand. “Then explain why it says ‘deceased’ next to my name.”

Though Yu Nanzhi was holding Shen Tinglan, she couldn’t feel the steady beat of a heart in his chest.

“Did you get into the elevator on the thirteenth floor?”

Shen Tinglan didn’t answer. He drew two heavy lines through the words on the breakup agreement, then wrote four words in the blank space beside them: “Back from the dead. Back together.”
