[A Cellist with Severe Depression x A Talented Singer Reborn]
A mysterious sheet of music helped Ling Shu win a competition and become the most commercially valuable female singer of her time.
After becoming famous, she searched tirelessly for the mysterious composer. When she finally found him, she learned he had been dead for many years.
Pain and regret mingled as she remembered the day she met him on a foreign street ten years ago.
*
When she was eighteen, at the lowest point in her life, she met a cellist by chance on a street in a foreign country.
By then, he was renowned throughout Europe and had a promising future. But no one knew he was suffering from severe depression and secretly planning his own death.
That day, she listened intently as he played for the entire afternoon. Before leaving, she gave him a bouquet of white roses.
Holding the white roses, he watched her walk away, lost in thought.
That bouquet of white roses kept him alive for another half month. He hurriedly wrote a draft of a song for her and had someone mail it to her. Then, on a rainy night, he ended his life.
Later, her throat cancer returned, and she died in a hospital bed.
When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the day she met him...
This time, she decided to pull him out of the abyss...
Happy ending, both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, nine-year age gap
[Coming Next] Reborn Before My Disfigurement
Qiao Ye often sensed someone watching her from the next room whenever she visited her mother.
The gaze was icy and cloying, like a snake lying in wait, slowly sliding along her back.
At the end of the psychiatric hospital corridor stood an iron door that had been locked for years. A dangerous madman was confined behind it.
People said he was Lu Xianchen, the eldest son of the Lu family.
Once a ruthless man who stopped at nothing, he had gone mad overnight after his father's suicide. He lost his inheritance and had been confined to a wheelchair ever since, babbling incoherently and shut away from the world.
The Lu family's devil had become the Lu family's madman.
How pitiful!
Everyone said Lu Xianchen was a killer. Qiao Ye kept her distance until she read the silent plea for help in his mouth, over and over.
In the end, Qiao Ye opened that door.
A cold hand shot out of the darkness and seized her chin.
The man sat in a wheelchair, his face pale, but his eyes terrifyingly clear. There wasn't the slightest trace of madness in them.
"Get me out, and I'll guarantee you and your family a worry-free life."
At the risk of her life, Qiao Ye smuggled a message out for him.
Satisfied, he pulled her close. His knuckles slowly traced the scar on her face, as though examining a personal possession someone had damaged.
Qiao Ye stiffened all over, helpless and afraid.
After her disfigurement, this was the first time anyone had looked at her like that. There was no disgust, no pity.
Only a cold, obsessive scrutiny.
His emotionless, icy eyes fixed on her. He asked quietly, "Qiao Ye, how did you get this scar?"
"An accident when I was eighteen..."
"An accident?" He mused elegantly, his voice thin and cold.
The next moment, he leaned toward her.
A warm, wet kiss landed on her ugly scar.
Qiao Ye shuddered.
But Lu Xianchen held the back of her neck, his voice husky, almost unnaturally gentle.
"They ruined you."
"It doesn't matter."
"From now on, whoever touches you, I'll cut off their hand."
*
On a dark, endless night, Qiao Ye watched as Lu Xianchen was pushed from the rooftop. She hurried to call for help, but someone struck her with a club, killing her instantly.
When she awoke, Qiao Ye had returned to the year she was eighteen, before she was disfigured.
That same year, the Lu family's eldest son, Lu Xianchen, returned from Switzerland after completing his studies, ready to take over the Lu family's business.
Qiao Ye went to him. "Mr. Lu, please be wary of those around you. Don't let yourself be put in danger again."
The man in the chair was as pure and dignified as a moonlit breeze, composed and noble, nothing like the man in the psychiatric hospital.
Later, Qiao Ye, who had once been constantly pushed aside, discovered that everyone in the dance troupe treated her with utmost respect. They even gave her the best roles outright.
Everyone assumed she had a powerful patron behind her, someone no one dared to offend.
And that person was Lu Xianchen.
The man sat in the shadows, methodically clearing every obstacle in her path.
"Qiao Ye, in this life, you have someone to rely on."

Qiao Ye had once been the brightest rising star in ballet.
She made her stage debut at fourteen and amazed everyone with her skill. The media called her a rare genius.
But when she was eighteen, spotlights fell from the award stage, burning her all over and destroying her looks. From then on, she lost her chance to perform on the international stage.
Everyone said she was finished.
Only Qiao Ye knew she couldn't lose.
Her mother was the true genius, but a car accident had taken the use of her legs. Qiao Ye would finish the journey her mother had been unable to complete.
In her previous life, she dragged herself forward, covered in scars. Ten years late, she finally won the world's top prize in St. Petersburg, only to die after achieving glory.
In this life, she would stop every tragedy and never let anyone trample her again.
The stage, the glory, the truth: she would reclaim it all.

Happy ending, both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, they save each other.
A gloomy, obsessive, unhinged male lead, not a perfect character.
Both leads are reborn, and the deaths in their previous lives were part of a conspiracy.

Theme: Remaining kindhearted even while trapped in hardship
I don't know how to describe it, but it's very comfortable. It's like a long flowing river with hidden whirlpools. It's a lot of hard work. It's my top 1.
This is the second time I have read this work in its entirety. It is somewhat difficult for me to express the shock I feel in my limited words. The author's language description sometimes makes me feel like I am reading a collection of essays, or reading a quiet but beautiful poem. In fact, even after reading it twice, I don't have a strong sense of turmoil, but it is just that kind of gentle feeling, like walking on a quiet road and being blown by the wind with a slight fragrance, or like sitting on the edge of a wooden bridge by the stream and dangling my feet to play with the stream. It makes people feel a rare calm in the impetuous life. I am grateful to the author for being able to create characters like Qu Zhiheng and Ling Shu, who are gentle and self-possessed, hardworking and strong. I wish them the best life in their own world.
This is my top article of 24 years
It was so shocking. I didn't expect to talk about depression from such a unique perspective and love two-way redemption. I was actually cured! So warm! Their story is like an oil painting, ancient and charming, eloquent and memorable!
I have been reading this for a long time. I accidentally clicked on this article during the book shortage, and I feel that I have received a lot of spiritual comfort. In the adult world, I occasionally lament what kind of feelings are the most sincere. It is undoubtedly a kind of happiness to be able to speak freely to someone, to open up all the emotions, and to have another person take over unconditionally. I have contributed a lot of little pearls to this article. It turns out that I am so happy to be so favored by others, and my soul mate is so compatible. The heroine is undoubtedly a brave person, and I am really happy for her. It is really hard to have something and then lose it... Maybe it is just like what she said, she will go crazy. Two worthy people redeem each other and love each other, which is really heartwarming. Thank you for reading this article, and thank you for seeing the author who brought this good article. I hope that the protagonist in the article, the author who wrote the article, and everyone who reads the article will get better and better. [Spread flowers]
A beautiful article, like a literary film, a violin piece, two weeks of "dying comfort", and a lifetime of redemption for two heavy souls.
I really like this article. The male protagonist is restrained and dignified, the female protagonist is somewhat reckless and sober, and there are also thoughts about life in the article. It seems at first glance that the author has experience in living abroad, and the description of those life scenes is so true! The if line is also very well written, so perfect! No matter who is reborn, no matter whether he still follows the original path or not, one of the male and female protagonists will be waiting for the other person in front! What a beautiful and romantic love!
I can feel the great tenderness between the lines, and I really created a very amazing character. I seem to really know these two people, and I hope their white roses will never wither.
This will be my top for 24 years. It's really beautiful. 🤩 The author's writing is very good.
It's really good to read, and you can feel the author's profound cultural background (it feels a bit strange to say this), and he perfectly integrates his own knowledge into the content of the novel without being artificial at all. This is the salvation of love from depression. It reminds me of the relationship between the author of "Reasons to Live" and his girlfriend. All in all, this is a rare book where I feel the charm of the male and female protagonists at the same time. I hope that Ling Shu and Qu Zhiheng in parallel time and space will always be happy!!! 💪 💪 💪
