Reborn, I Dumped the Jerk Who Dumped Me, and Then He...

Dong Ling had a one-sided crush on Yin Tuo for seven years, pursuing him from high school through college. He exhausted himself trying to win Yin Tuo's favor, but the arrogant man never once treated him kindly.

Later, a contract was signed, and the two were forced to marry for their families' sake. On the day they registered their marriage, Yin Tuo sneered, "Are you satisfied now?"

Dong Ling never got the chance to be satisfied. An accident struck, and he was reborn seven years in the past, back in high school.

This time, Dong Ling cut his losses in time and went out of his way to avoid Yin Tuo whenever they met.

He no longer gazed at him with a beaming smile or clung to him like he used to. Without the carefully arranged "chance encounters" Dong Ling had engineered, they became strangers with nothing to do with each other...

Everyone said Dong Ling was playing games again, and had even learned to play hard to get.

Dong Ling shrugged. "No, I'm genuinely over it this time..."

He turned around, only to find Yin Tuo standing behind him, staring at him coldly.

For seven years, Yin Tuo had only ever been on the receiving end. He was used to Dong Ling's tenderness and had never once made an effort himself.

When everything finally reset, Yin Tuo opened his eyes again, still expecting Dong Ling to devote himself to him just as he always had.

Then one day after school, Yin Tuo caught Dong Ling looking shy in front of his desk.

Yin Tuo calmly waited for him to confess.

Instead, Dong Ling bent down, pulled out the love letters he'd given him before, and tossed them one by one into the trash.

*

In the end, Yin Tuo couldn't take it anymore.

During a break, he grabbed Dong Ling as he tried to walk around him. His eyes red, he asked in a strained voice, "...What exactly do you want?"

Dong Ling only smiled innocently. "Are you satisfied now, too?"
