Synopsis

Four years ago, Mu Xueyi and Zhou Zhenyue broke up.

Four years later, a news story rocked the business world: the president of Zhou Corporation had jumped to her death because she could not let go of an old love.

Mu Xueyi had thought she didn't love Zhou Zhenyue. The Zhou and Mu families were business rivals, hostile as fire and water. And when Mu Xueyi first approached Zhou Zhenyue, it was only because her father had forced her to go undercover and help the Mu family steal trade secrets.

Once her father had obtained the documents, there was no reason for her and Zhou Zhenyue to stay together.

But…

Only when Zhou Zhenyue jumped to her death for her did Mu Xueyi finally understand why she had been so heartbroken after their breakup.

She had fallen in love with Zhou Zhenyue long ago.

So Mu Xueyi resolutely threw herself against Zhou Zhenyue's gravestone and died.

She had meant to find Zhou Zhenyue in the afterlife and finally tell her, “I love you.”

But to her utter disbelief, she closed her eyes, opened them again,

and was reborn one year earlier.

That was… the third year after their breakup.

???

She could almost see that bastard Old Heaven grinning smugly at her:

“Dear customer, your premium-grade groveling arc is ready to go~”

[Gentle CEO pursuer × former innocent girl turned dark, unhinged beauty]

- Happy ending

- The pursued has her reasons; she's not a scumbag, and she has a character growth arc

- [Important]: Though the blurb mentions a groveling arc, this is not a typical groveling-to-win-her-back story. This is not a typical groveling-to-win-her-back story. This is not a typical groveling-to-win-her-back story.

- The pursuer/pursued labels refer to their personalities; in essence, they switch roles

- Same-sex marriage is accepted in this setting

This story will be available for purchase on Monday, February 15, with three chapters released that day.

Thank you all for your support so far, and I hope you'll continue to support me!

Theme: The best way to love someone is to be honest, not to deceive them

Some Yuri with Younger, Sickly, Battle-Worn Characters (Age-Wise)

I have a thing for younger characters. Even one second younger makes them the little sister... My tastes run to battle-scarred, sickly, fragile yet strong and tragic characters, and I only like younger ones with that kind of vibe. Shy, sensitive, adorable younger characters are just too delicious.
