    The male lead is reborn, and the female lead transmigrates (from ancient times to modern times). In her previous life, she was a shady character. It's written as a 1v1, both leads are virgins, but I don't think it fits the bill and it has some jarring elements. The male lead has an ex-girlfriend (though he was dumped), who returns in his previous life when he was 25. They get married right at the start and have a child.
