After I Faked My Death and Ran Away, My Sister’s Childhood Friend Went Crazy

[An avoidant girl × a cocky guy who wins himself over and refuses to take no for an answer]

[Both leads have only ever been with each other + groveling romance + healing + a powerful man lowering his head for love + happy ending]

In the fifteenth year of being Jian Ning’s living blood bank, Jian Xi died.

Jian Ning staged her own suicide, and the Jian family forced Jian Xi onto the operating table.

Lying beneath the cold surgical lights, Jian Xi thought, It’s over. This endless darkness can finally come to an end.

But that day, she never woke up again.

That same day, the proud, free-spirited boy seemed to have had his soul stolen from him overnight.

Everyone had underestimated how much Pei Yuchuan loved Jian Xi.

No one expected him to lose his mind after she died.

Jian Ning thought that once Jian Xi was gone, Pei Yuchuan would be with her.

But she couldn’t have been more wrong.

When the Jian parents’ crimes came to light, they were thrown into prison. Jian Ning fell to her knees in a panic, begging Pei Yuchuan to show mercy.

All that remained in the young man’s eyes was bone-chilling cold. He flung her away. “You’re the one who should die.”

A university campus, one year later.

A familiar voice suddenly came from the stage: “Good morning, teachers and fellow students. I’m this year’s student representative...”

Pei Yuchuan froze. The moment he looked up and saw that face, he could barely breathe.

“Jian Xi...”

Now that he had finally seen the girl he’d longed for day and night again, how could Pei Yuchuan possibly let her go so easily?

His eyes red, he cornered her in a secluded spot.

“Jian Xi, I’ve been yours since I was seventeen. You can’t abandon me...”

But the girl in his arms looked at him with complete unfamiliarity and asked in confusion, “Who are you?”
