The resurrection fern, scientifically known as Selaginella lepidophylla. In a drought, it curls up into a lifeless ball. When it gets wet, it spreads out its leaves and turns green again.
Ye Jianqing thought that plant was just like her.
She couldn't curl up or rot away. She was alive, but just a little bit dead.
Then one day, she woke up and really had returned to life.
What does the most laid-back rebirth look like?
No binding to a System, no obsessive fixations, no missions. Just rewind ten years and live it all over again.
A huge bundle of regret-erasing medicine dropped from the sky, and she downed it in one gulp.
In her last life, she was forced to push herself to the brink, shutting herself away from the world.
In this life, she decided to lie flat and treat life like a game.
She wouldn't be a grind machine, a doormat, or a ninja.
She'd take another look at the things she'd let go of before.
She'd stop and notice the things she'd missed before.
She'd become a tiny butterfly, flap her wings, and let everything that had dried up and gone dormant over the long years come back to life when touched by water.
A rebirth story with a healing tone.
The early chapters lean toward wish fulfillment, but there's no melodramatic nonsense. The focus is on everyday life and the private concerns of an ordinary girl, smoothing over the unspoken regrets and repressions of youth.
The later chapters feature redemption and may be a little heavy, but they'll have a happy ending.
The romance isn't a traditional one-on-one pairing, and the heroine may not end up with anyone. Her personal growth takes priority over romance.
An ensemble story where everyone gets their moment to shine.
Theme: Learning to bloom again in the soil that's right for you.
