Everyone at the Jilin Group knew that CEO Ji Huai had built his business from scratch and married young. His spouse was gentle, considerate, and understanding, and even praised her husband when reporters interviewed her.
“His strengths are that he’s rich, very handsome, and, most importantly, exactly my type.”
But no one knew he had a problem: whenever he tried to learn about his beloved Lin Qi’s past, Lin Qi would brush him off with one excuse or another.
After an accident, Ji Huai discovered that he had been Reborn in Lin Qi’s high school days. He thought that at last, this time, he could protect his poor, weak, helpless wife.
However, on his first day as a transfer student, he ran into Lin Qi in a small alley not far from the school gate. Lin Qi was holding his schoolbag in one hand and getting ready to punch someone in the face with the other.
Ji Huai’s thoughts: Weak? Pitiful? Helpless?
Seeing him, Lin Qi knitted his brows. “What kind of loser are you?”
Ji Huai: So this is what my frail wife, who can’t even take care of himself, is really like.
//
That very day, word spread throughout No. 1 High School that the school’s top tough guy, Lin Qi, had cornered transfer student Ji Huai in a small alley and taught him a lesson.
Everyone thought the two had become enemies for good. But after the opening exams, their homeroom teacher made them deskmates, claiming it would improve their grades.
Everyone eagerly waited for the show to begin.
On the day they changed seats, Lin Qi carried his chair forward in long strides, then kicked away the desk and chair beside Ji Huai.
After sitting down, he gave Ji Huai a half-smile. “I hear you want to teach me how to study?”
Ji Huai smiled. “Actually, I can teach you a few other things, too.”
Lin Qi: ???
Ji Huai, internally: I was freaking terrified at the time.
After that, everyone thought Ji Huai was done for.
Then, one day in that familiar little alley, the usually mild-mannered top student cornered his furious deskmate, the corners of his mouth lifting. “Say that again. What did you call me?”
A passing student: ??? Holy crap, Lin Qi actually got forced to call someone Dad!
The once-arrogant big shot had red eyes and spoke in a soft, sweet voice. “H-hubby.”
Those in the know all leaned back in unison. “You two are such schemers.”

Blurb:
The young master of the XX Group, Qi Gu, spent nine years acting like a jerk, then proudly crawled through three years of misery at the crematorium before finally marrying He Ran at thirty.
But life is unpredictable. Just over two years later, He Ran died of an illness.
Devastated by the loss of the one he loved, Qi Gu spent every day drinking himself into a stupor and sinking into despair, until he suddenly died in front of He Ran’s grave.
As he closed his eyes, he thought that if he got another chance, he absolutely wouldn’t be such a bastard.
When he opened his eyes again, Qi Gu had returned to their high school days.
The good news: He had time to make up for his past mistakes.
The bad news: He was currently gripping his wife by the collar, preparing to throw a punch.
His followers cheered around them, while the person in front of him trembled, eyes red, as if he were about to burst into tears.
So Qi Gu pulled him into his arms in front of everyone and muttered, “Brothers, the fortune-teller said I’d have a romantic encounter today. This must be the one.”
He Ran, with his fists clenched: “...”
The underlings: “Huh? Ah!”
Qi Gu knew how much of a jerk he had been at this point in his life. Annoyed by He Ran’s fake good-student act, he had picked on him at every turn.
So he began to change his attitude. He fussed over He Ran, defended him in front of everyone, and rushed to protect him whenever anyone dared to bully him.
Watching He Ran rely on him more and more, Qi Gu knew he was close to succeeding.
Until one day, he accidentally caught sight of He Ran, who acted so weak and pitiful in front of him, with a cigarette in his mouth and one foot on the delinquent who had come to provoke Qi Gu a few days earlier.
With a fierce expression, He Ran threatened the tough guy from the neighboring school:
“You better keep your people in line. Don’t let me catch anyone laying a finger on Qi Gu again.”
“If anyone’s got a problem with Qi Gu, come find me after school.”
“And stay out of my business. I like it when Qi Gu treats me that way. It’s exciting as hell, so what?”
Qi Gu, shattered on the spot: Sorry. If I transmigrate again, it’ll definitely be because I got it wrong the first time.
Then He Ran turned around, saw him, and immediately ran into his arms, his face pale. “Brother Qi, these people are awful. They forced me to do something so scary.”
The tough guy from the neighboring school: Fine, fine. Am I some kind of pathetic joke to you?
The delinquents, horrified: Which one of them is actually scarier?
Premise: Seize your chance and change your fate.

The setting is very good, but the ending is a little rushed?
I really don't understand why there is a kidnapping case at the end of the novel! It's a sweet novel, but it's still unfinished. Kidnapping is really inconsistent with the style of writing, cliche and deliberate
What should I say? I finished reading it overnight. I just want to say that it was too watery, and it was short and tedious. I just glanced at the main points and stopped at the main points and then finished reading. The author kept saying that it must be finished, but at the same time, there was water there, and the holes dug were filled with holes. I was annoyed while reading and thought that I should just finish it when I get to this point! After all, the author said that he wanted to finish the story, and he is still finishing it now. It is estimated that it can continue to be successful. Some of the styles are great. Please pay attention carefully. There are many bad jokes in ancient romances that I really can't complain about.
You're almost putting Jiang Xia offline. I can't stand it anymore. Why are you still here?
The progress is too slow. There is also a bad guy who is very annoying. People who read this book will be furious.
I'm so angry. When will Jiang die?
It's good to watch, but the ending is a bit rushed [Purple Sugar]kswl, it would be nice if there was a sequel
