Clear-headed, hardworking office worker x white moonlight who finds her way back
[Bittersweet unrequited love + lingering flirtation]
After dying from overwork amid the cutthroat competition at a major company, Li Musang opened her eyes to find herself back in her first year of high school.
Clutching her pen, she made a solemn vow: This time, she'd never repeat her mistakes. She would escape her fate of ending up at a second-tier college and fight for a life she could truly control.
Then she ran into Jing Yi, whose beautiful, striking features had made her Li Musang's first love when they were girls.
In Li Musang's memories, this exceptionally talented girl had fallen into a ridiculous online romance back then. Love had gone to her head, and she'd given up on the college entrance exams, throwing away the brilliant future that should have been hers.
She vanished without a trace, never to be heard from again, becoming Li Musang's deepest regret for years.
Given a second chance at life, Li Musang didn't want to have any regrets this time.
1.
As soon as evening study ended, Jing Yi was dragged into the woods by a girl from the neighboring class who was a head shorter than her. The girl kept going on about changing fate, avoiding young love, and getting into college.
Jing Yi silently rolled her eyes in the dark.
Where did this weirdo come from?
2.
The second time Jing Yi saw the strange girl was at the end-of-semester awards ceremony, where the girl went onstage as the outstanding student with the biggest improvement that term.
Li Musang?
That's a pretty nice name.
But she'd climbed 300 places in one semester?!
What the heck!
Was someone challenging her image as the top student and perfect goddess?!
3.
Using the time when Jing Yi had started her online romance in her previous life as a guide, Li Musang secretly hid Jing Yi's phone.
Who could have guessed that this time Jing Yi wouldn't fall into an online romance, but would latch onto her instead?
Li Musang: Love-struck idiot!
Jing Yi: Two-faced little thief!
