He Is Moss Beneath the Steps

From the age of thirteen, Nan Chu knew she was the supporting female character in a book. She was destined to love someone who would never love her back, watching the boy she liked pour his heart out to another girl, only to end up tortured to death in a psychiatric hospital.

But back then, Nan Chu thought love mattered more than anything.

Didn’t the male lead in a novel always end up falling for the transmigrated female lead? Chen Tianchen would eventually fall for Nan Chu, too.

For eighteen whole years, Nan Chu comforted herself with that thought.

Until Chen Tianchen met the female lead after starting college.

She watched Chen Tianchen bring flowers to the girl, learn to cook for her, take tranquilizers for her, and carefully try to win her over, humbling himself to the core and doing everything he could.

Then she suddenly understood something: some people are impossible to warm up. Even if they can be, it will not be for her. Perhaps some things really are fated, and cannot be forced.

So she chose something completely different from what happened in the novel: she went abroad to study.

But perhaps Heaven did not want her to leave. Her plane had an accident, and when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the age of fifteen.

At fifteen, Chen Tianchen’s mother had just died, and his father was already rushing to bring his new love into the house. This was also when Chen Tianchen’s depression began.

But so what? None of it would have anything to do with Nan Chu anymore.

She gradually distanced herself from Chen Tianchen, made friends, studied, and pursued her education as usual. Only occasionally, in the middle of the night, would she dream of the Chen Tianchen from her previous life.

After she died, he did not seem happy.

But in this life, even though she had not gone out of her way to approach Chen Tianchen again, he came to her, eyes red, holding her hand and apologizing over and over, loving her with everything he had.

Only then did Nan Chu realize that she was not the only one who had returned. So had he.
