The One I Loved Wasn't Human [Reborn]

Xu Hui lost his father when he was young, and his mother was gravely ill. It was only thanks to the support of the wealthy Gu family in Yongcheng that he could grow up with his family by his side. So after graduating from a prestigious university, he joined the Gu family company. For ten years, he worked alongside Gu Jingming, the Gu family's only son, to build the company into a powerhouse. He gave his all to the job, and offered up his whole heart as well.

Then, after he was no longer useful, he lost both fame and fortune, just like the countless rivals Gu Jingming had defeated before him, and was left barely clinging to life.

On the eve of being pushed forward to take the blame and sent to prison, Xu Hui watched coldly as his former lover wept and pleaded with him, appealing to his feelings. He accepted the blame and chose to end his life.

But he never expected that after his death, while he was a ghost,

he would see Gu Jingming, who had always valued etiquette and neatness, clutching his corpse like a madman and refusing to let go.

Then another man, who had rushed over in a state of disarray, punched Gu Jingming to the ground.

The man had sharp brows and bloodshot eyes. He stepped in with force and took care of Xu Hui's funeral.

He cleared Xu Hui's name, avenged him, and year after year laid a bouquet of wild roses at his grave.

That man was Yan Xilou, now a top-tier figure in Yongcheng, at the very peak of the pyramid.

Xu Hui first met Yan Xilou ten years ago.

Back then, Yan Xilou was bright and flamboyant. When he saw Xu Hui, his eyes brimmed with interest. He pursued him for two whole years, and whenever they met, he looked as if the morning sun shone in his eyes, all cheer and joy. Then, unwilling to give up, he would ask, “Hey, does a mere sponsorship mean you get to tie me down to a job and tie down my heart, too, so I can't love you?”

At the time, Xu Hui found him extremely irritating. “Young Master Yan, do you not know I already have someone I love?”

Gu Jingming had been jealous over this more than once.

Later, Xu Hui and Gu Jingming plotted together. After the old master of the Yan family died, they kicked the family while it was down, nearly devouring the entire Yan family. From then on, Yan Xilou never smiled when he saw Xu Hui.

Whenever their paths crossed, their gazes were sharp with hostility.

After that, Yan Xilou spent a full five years rebuilding his fortunes. The Yan family returned to the ranks of Yongcheng's top-tier aristocratic families, rising even higher than before.

The two of them should have been enemies.

But at Xu Hui's grave, Yan Xilou's eyes, usually as still and deep as a well after all he had endured, were filled with grief. He kept calling him, “Huihui.”

When Xu Hui opened his eyes again, he had been reborn at twenty-two, just after graduating from university.

Everything had yet to happen.
