[Sweet girl determined to repay a debt of gratitude × unhinged man with a fake scar]
[Reborn + long-planned scheme + devoted couple + unhinged romance]
Qiao Nuan clawed her way out of the slums with her own two hands. Her mother died young, and her father gambled. No matter how hard life was for her and her younger brother, she never gave up looking for the person who had saved her life.
At last, she found her rescuer on an online forum. The man talked with her about everything online, while carefully laying his plans in the real world. He was gentle and considerate, and Qiao Nuan fell deeply for him, becoming his girlfriend.
Then an accident revealed that his supposed scar and his gentleness were all an act, part of a lie.

Qiao Nuan never imagined that a man who always seemed so upright would stoop to stealing credit from his own friend.
After they started dating, he abandoned his aloof persona and spun a web of tenderness around her, even using his body to tempt her.
He watched as she sank deeper and deeper, unable to pull herself free.

When the man discovered her going to see his friend, he drank away his sorrows and stayed up all night.
With red-rimmed eyes, he pulled her into his arms. His voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible:
“I was the one who saved you. Why do you remember him and not me?”
“You said you’d repay me. I’ll give you a chance: marry me.”
“You were the one who came after me first. You think you can run? Not a chance.”
Not good-looking, not good-looking, not good-looking
