The Newborn Flame [Reborn]

Tragic, beautiful heroine reborn vs. devoted, stoic top student hero

Luo Jingjing was the most envied successful woman in legal circles: rich, beautiful, and married to a man who loved her.

But... the husband who seemed so perfect teamed up with his mistress to push her into the abyss.

*When she opened her eyes again, Luo Jingjing was back in her sophomore year of high school, before any of the tragedies had happened, and at the point when her grades were at their worst.

In the hallway on an early autumn day, she saw the boy from her memories. His name kept echoing in her mind: Cen Chi.

The name she had called out as she lay dying.

Luo Jingjing remembered Cen Chi's warnings from before her death, but she had always thought he couldn't stand seeing her happier than he was.

Only after dying once did she realize that Cen Chi had never lied to her.

Luo Jingjing understood. This time, she had to hold on to the person she loved.

And also...

Get into a good university.

*For Luo Jingjing, everything went smoothly in her second life: her relationship with Cen Chi improved, her grades steadily rose, and the hypocritical demon never appeared...

She thought she had truly been given a fresh start, but reality always punishes those whose lives are going too well.

Her mother still didn't love her, and her grandmother, who should have lived a long life, died early. Luo Jingjing couldn't take it anymore. Her grandmother was her only family. She thought it was divine punishment, that she shouldn't defy fate, that...

She chose death again.

But she was also the luckiest person of all: she met the kindest God of Death in the entire divine realm.

*Luo Jingjing never knew that Cen Chi had been quietly watching over her from the shadows in every life, for a very, very long time.

In her first life, he watched helplessly as she was betrayed and died a horrible death. He sent her enemies to hell with his own hands, but lost her forever.

In her second life, he cautiously drew closer, watching her fall apart and sink into despair, still powerless to help.

*When she opened her eyes for the third time, everything was different. Her father hadn't died young, and her stepfather had never appeared. She had returned to a time shortly after she and Cen Chi had broken up, but now they were both doing everything they could to draw closer again.

This time, she wouldn't rush to hold on to anyone, and she wouldn't fear being punished by fate.

She only wanted to slowly approach the light that had watched over her for two lifetimes.

[Cen Chi, if I choose you, will our ending be different?]

Spring blossoms, bright scenery; flowers blooming like flames
