Reborn, No More Flirting

Clear-headed reborn heroine x aloof, mature hero | Slow burn, love grows over time | 1v1, happy ending After being reborn, Qin Ke quietly made herself a strict vow: she would never again waste half her life trapped in a love that had been misplaced. She cut off her foolish infatuation and focused on planning her own future. She reined in her warmth and deliberately kept her distance from everyone, hoping only to avoid the wreckage of her past life. She decided that in this life, she would not fall in love, flirt, or chase after anyone. But in trying so hard to avoid misunderstandings, she ended up catching Han Yu's eye. The man had always been cool and self-possessed, never bothering with other people's entanglements. Yet he alone noticed how completely she had changed. Qin Ke retreated step by step, deliberately keeping her distance; Han Yu approached at an unhurried pace, patiently waiting. She did everything she could to avoid romantic entanglements, wanting only to live peacefully on her own and build a good life for herself. She never expected a gentle, restrained man to slowly find a place in her heart. After being reborn, Qin Ke had long since stopped longing for love. Only when she met Han Yu did she finally understand: the finest kind of fate needs no deliberate effort to win over. Two people will meet in time.
