"If you could live your life over, what would you most want to do?"

Yan Renran: "I want to save my rotting life."

Ever since her daughter died unexpectedly, Yan Renran's already difficult life grew even bleaker. Her husband, An Chengjie, blamed her endlessly, making her feel that the vows of eternal love they'd once made were nothing but a joke.

Whenever she woke from a dream at midnight, reliving the terrible news of her daughter's death, she would hear her husband's snoring and mock herself for having been blinded by love. Why had she started dating this slovenly man so young, and given up her bright future for him?

One day, she was reborn on her seventeenth birthday.

Looking at her youthful face, still full of collagen, she felt hope rekindle. This time, she decided to live for herself.

To hell with teenage romance. To hell with vows of eternal love. This time, all she wanted was a bright future.

When An Chengjie pursued her again, Yan Renran was calmer than ever.

In her previous life, she had been naive. When he asked, "A Ran, are you willing to give up your studies for me?"

She was madly in love and agreed without hesitation. She even threatened to kill herself to force her parents to let her be with An Chengjie.

After they married, every huge fight over some trivial matter became a lasting grievance for Yan Renran. The boy who had once showered her with sweet words had eventually drowned in the river of time.

Amid the summer heat and the cicadas' song, An Chengjie asked Yan Renran once again, "I've been pursuing you for so long. When will you finally agree to be my girlfriend?"

Yan Renran only smiled gently. "I once caught a glimpse of our future in the river of time. I think I'll pass."

As An Chengjie stared at her in bewilderment, Yan Renran smiled and strode away, heading toward the bright future that belonged to her.

Only after being reborn did Yan Renran realize that the people who truly cared about her were not only her parents, but also Sheng Sinian, the childhood friend who had grown up alongside her.

It turned out that sometimes you have to live your life over to notice the good things you'd once overlooked.
