After I Was Reborn, I Saw My Boyfriend for Who He Really Was

[Complete. Bonus chapters will be released after the story ends.]

Wen Ciyue had a perfect boyfriend.

He was exceptional in every way, from his looks to his family background. He had none of the arrogance of the wealthy and powerful, and he was gentle, doting on her and treasuring her like a jewel.

During the holidays, he would take her to stay at his family's ancient castle.

Only when the old, imposing castle, hidden deep in the forest behind layer upon layer of trees, became a cage confining her wings did she finally realize the truth.

His gentleness and kindness were just a mask to get close to her. In private, he'd always been a dark, obsessive madman!

After waking up from a car accident, Wen Ciyue discovered she had been reborn on the day Wei Handong confessed his feelings for her.

Back then, she was a poor, gifted student whose confidence had been crushed by the privileged students at her prestigious school. Wei Handong, on the other hand, was a dazzling scion of a powerful family: handsome and wealthy. It was hard not to fall for him.

But with a second chance at life, she was going to stay far away from him.

Wen Ciyue threw herself into her studies. As a poor student at a top school, good grades weren't enough, so she worked hard to make friends and expand her social circle.

She didn't notice that the dazzling young man whose flirtation she'd abruptly ended was growing more resentful by the day, until his gaze turned icy, surrounding her like a cold wind from every direction.

He kept appearing by Wen Ciyue's side as if by chance, like a rabid dog about to snap. She couldn't shake him.

When she realized something was wrong, Wen Ciyue ran without hesitation.

She rented a poor, secluded old house as a hiding place, thinking she could escape his pursuit. But she'd underestimated how crazy Wei Handong was.

When he broke down the door, she was still startled, despite being prepared. She screamed at him in despair, "Get away from me! I don't know you. Stop harassing me!"

At her words, the man's handsome, sharp features darkened. His ankle-length coat swept over her like the night, bringing a bone-chilling cold with it.

Wen Ciyue felt something strange wind around her calves. The hands gripping her waist grew terrifyingly huge.

Trembling with fear, she didn't dare look at Wei Handong's face.

Once, in her previous life, she'd spent the night at his house. She woke in the middle of the night and saw that the man, whose face had been so handsome, had turned into a horrifying beast...

She squeezed her eyes shut. The man's voice, cold as ice, sounded beside her ear:

"Then let's get acquainted again. Wei Handong, your man."

[How to Beat a Horror Otome Game]

Swan Lake Academy was a century-old prestigious school, but it was tragically destroyed in a fire. Everyone who died there turned into a vengeful ghost.

You had the misfortune of wandering in. Surrounded by evil spirits, you were about to die a horrible death, but luckily, a dating System chose you. If you completed its mission, you might have a chance to survive.

You agreed without hesitation.

[Please select your romance target.]

[Warning: Fail to win their heart and you will die. Choose carefully.]

[1. The gentle senior.]

[2. The taciturn poor student.]

[3. The considerate childhood friend next door.]

After some hesitation, you chose 3.

Target 3's profile appeared in your mind at once:

Xie Wenxi, your neighbor on the same floor. The perfect child everyone else's parents wish they had: always smiling and unfailingly polite to everyone. But in private, he suffered because of his hidden identity, and his habit of skipping meals had even given him a stomach condition.

The moment you learned this, the System transported you to several months before the fire. You were standing at the foot of the stairs. Xie Wenxi's home was upstairs.

Without hesitation, you knocked on his door.

Xie Wenxi opened it. The handsome, neat-looking boy flashed his habitual polite smile and asked what the neighbor he barely knew wanted.

You pulled out the sandwiches you'd carefully prepared and invited him to share them.

As you persistently fed him and deliberately got closer, Xie Wenxi's gaze grew stranger and stranger. His love for you layered up, growing so full it seemed ready to spill over.

You no longer needed to rack your brain for excuses to get close. Xie Wenxi would invite you over himself, and even ask you to hug him when he was sad.

You fell in love as naturally as could be. Xie Wenxi treated you incredibly well and began clinging to you, sometimes having the cutest little tantrums.

A few months later, the fire arrived right on schedule. The disaster still happened, and Xie Wenxi died protecting you from the flames.

Just as you thought it was finally over, the charred flesh slowly reassembled, gradually taking the shape of Xie Wenxi.

He still wore that polite, clean-cut smile, and his gaze was filled with an undiluted love for you.

Yet a tangible black mist wrapped around you.

Xie Wenxi smiled sweetly, still looking harmless. "Come stay with me. Don't leave. Stay with me forever, okay?"
