Dumping My Ex, the Cool and Brilliant Student Has Been Plotting for Me All Along

[Two male leads + reborn + redemption + happy ending + sweet romance] [Clear-headed, independent bottom x protective, fatherly top] In his previous life, Wen Xi gave everything he had to a wretched man named Chu Ning. Nine years of keeping their relationship hidden from the world earned him nothing but his lover's wedding invitation and betrayal. In utter despair, suffering from severe depression, he finally sank into the freezing river. - When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his junior year of college, on the first night after the two had gotten together. Looking at the hypocritical man before him, Wen Xi turned and ran that very night. Changed the locks, blocked him, and cut ties, all in one go. Now that he had a second chance at life, why bother with romance? Wasn't it better to focus on his studies? - But while Wen Xi is bent on staying as far away from his scumbag ex as possible, he accidentally catches the attention of the college's famously aloof heartthrob... Only later does he learn that the man isn't cold and desireless at all. Every concession and act of restraint was part of a long-planned strategy, carefully drawing him in step by step.
