I Became the Bratty Ex-Girlfriend and Stay Alive by Cuddling Up to Him

[Ancient-to-modern transmigration + touch starvation + obsessive love + possessiveness + both leads devoted only to each other + System] (An innocent, well-behaved young lady vs. a scheming man who pretends to be well-behaved)

After the ancient aristocratic young lady Chu Ci died of illness, she transmigrated into the body of her modern-day namesake, a high-maintenance ex-girlfriend.

From the start, she had only seven days left to live. The System told her: only contact with the child of fortune, Gu Zhiyan, could extend her life.

And Gu Zhiyan was the impoverished boyfriend she had humiliated beyond measure.

To survive, Chu Ci steeled herself and approached him.

Her fingers brushed his as she handed him a towel: +1 day.

She pretended to fall: +3 days.

A high fever forced them to share a bed: +15 days.

Later, the man pinned her against a corner and took off his glasses, his voice low and husky.

"You want me? Then come and get me yourself."

Only then did Chu Ci realize he had known all along.

Blushing, she managed to stammer, "Y-you're not supposed to be such a gentleman."

He chuckled, put his glasses back on, and returned to his mild-mannered self.

"I am. So don't even think about running away."

Bonus scene:

Chu Ci became famous overnight by livestreaming traditional tea-making, paid off her debts, and prepared to run away.

Gu Zhiyan used her phone to change her profile to: "I have a boyfriend. No chatting."

Then he pinned his own WeChat chat to the top of her list and asked gently, "Still planning to run?"
