A Journey to Save My Archrival

Lu Chenxing spent two years at university fighting with her nemesis, Ou Ya. They couldn't stand each other, and whenever they met, they looked ready to strangle one another.

Ou Ya thought she was putting on an act. Lu Chenxing thought Ou Ya was weak and two-faced.

Even the girls they liked somehow ended up being the same.

On May 20, Lu Chenxing asks Zhan Yan out to dinner. Ou Ya turns to Zhan Yan right in front of her, eyes reddening, and says, "I don't feel well. Can you come with me to the hospital?"

On New Year's Eve, Lu Chenxing asks Zhan Yan to watch the fireworks. Ou Ya takes Zhan Yan's hand. "You know I've never had parents..."

To Zhan Yan, Ou Ya is a pitiful little kitten. To Lu Chenxing, she's a bristly hedgehog who wants to bite her to death.

Lu Chenxing is so furious her teeth ache, but there's nothing she can do. She can only hope for a future without Ou Ya.

By chance, she signs a contract with the legendary Time Management Bureau.

The contract says it can take her ten years into the future, then send her back through seven time transmigrations to make up for those ten years.

These seven transmigrations don't follow chronological or age order. Which period she goes to each time is purely a matter of luck.

But once she arrives ten years in the future, Lu Chenxing learns two important things.

First: Her nemesis, Ou Ya, has become her wife.

Second: Her wife died three years ago.

-

Curious about what happened over those ten years, Lu Chenxing begins a journey to uncover the truth and save her nemesis.

On her first transmigration, after signing the contract, Lu Chenxing feels sorry that Ou Ya died so young, and the two go from enemies to friends.

Her second transmigration takes her to the day Ou Ya confesses. White snow turns her hair silver as the girl stands beneath a warm yellow streetlight, cheeks flushed, confessing to her with nervous hope.

Lu Chenxing rejects her.

Her third transmigration takes her to a time before the two have gotten together. Lu Chenxing knocks over Ou Ya's collection display, revealing a long-hidden secret love.

It turns out Ou Ya's every move toward her had a reason.

On her fourth transmigration, Lu Chenxing confesses first, and they become a couple.

On her fifth transmigration, Lu Chenxing grows anxious and afraid. Even after they get married, she still hasn't found out why Ou Ya died.

Her sixth transmigration takes place the day after Ou Ya's death. Wearing a black suit, she looks at the woman in the ice coffin, dressed in a pure white wedding gown.

The sight wounds her eyes, reminding her that she has only one chance left.

Both leads are each other's first and only / healing / countless personal worldbuilding details

Neither the top nor the bottom has romantic feelings for Zhan Yan.
