We Were Reborn Together on the Day We Divorced

Wen Ran and Gu Yan have been married for seven years. Everyone knows how much the young master of the Gu Group dotes on Wen Ran. The two are often seen together, making everyone around them envious.

But at a birthday party, a tipsy Gu Yan swirled his red wine in a restaurant and said to his friends, "It's fake."

"We're in a marriage of convenience."

"Lovebirds? It's all for the money."

As luck would have it, those words reached Wen Ran's ears, and their seven-year marriage came to an abrupt end.

They got their divorce papers that very day. As they left the civil affairs bureau, Gu Yan put on an unconcerned expression, about to say they should part on good terms.

But he never expected that a car accident would send him straight back to the age of eighteen.

Standing at the classroom door, Gu Yan was completely bewildered.

The friendly teacher beside him patted him on the shoulder. "You can sit next to Wen."

When he looked up, Gu Yan met his ex-husband's utterly captivating, peach-blossom eyes.

At eighteen, Wen Ran's cheeks were fair with a rosy tint, and his little mouth was red as a cherry.

Wen Ran: Don't look at what you shouldn't.

Gu Yan: ...Don't flatter yourself!

The failed marriage in his previous life was the biggest stain on Gu Yan's life, a humiliating fiasco.

He had first met Wen Ran at a banquet, then married him in a grand wedding arranged by the Gu family's elders. Everything had gone smoothly, but somehow, after one birthday, he got dumped.

Given another chance, he swore he would never have anything to do with Wen Ran again.

Then he unexpectedly learned that Wen Ran, who seemed so strong, was struggling financially. Though he was firmly at the top of his class, he was at risk of dropping out. Even so, he refused all help and earned money by working on his own.

He was nothing like the scheming gold digger who coveted the Gu family's wealth, the "slut" Gu Yan's friends had described.

One day after school, Gu Yan saw Wen Ran being bullied by his classmates. Used to the humiliation, Wen Ran stood there silently.

Gu Yan couldn't take it anymore. He rolled up his sleeves, charged forward, and punched two of them at once, shouting,

"Let's see which son of a bitch dares lay a hand on my guy again!"

Later, the young master Gu knelt before Wen Ran with everything he owned, looking pitiful. "Honey, would you consider accepting me?"

"Or... you could hold my hand first!"
