Reborn Behind My Lover's Back

[Currently locked while I rewrite the story from scratch. Thank you all for your understanding, support, and patience. orz]

Xie Zhean believed only two things in this life:

One, tears were useless.

Two, no one would stay forever.

Until Lu Zhuoyan pulled him out of the darkness.

Until that person said, "You don't have to be perfect to be loved."

Until he learned the truth about his past life: someone really had died for him twice.

"Lu Zhuoyan, why haven't you left yet?"

"Leave? If you die, I'll die too. Don't even think you can shake me off on the road to the underworld."

At that moment, Xie Zhean thought that perhaps this world wasn't so unworthy after all.

In my last life, I couldn't protect you

In this one, I'll crawl on my knees

If that's what it takes to keep you in this world
