Beneath the Halo [Dual Rebirth and Redemption]

[A coolheaded, brilliant female mechanic reborn, and a stern, devoted world-class racing driver]

"I've loved Su Xi since my previous life, and I kept loving her... until the moment my life ended." - Du Xiuyan

On the eve of the San Marino Grand Prix, Du Xiuyan told Su Xi that after rewriting the history of Formula One, he would come see her.

But Su Xi watched with her own eyes as Du Xiuyan's car slammed into a wall at high speed on a turn. The car flipped over and scraped sparks across the ground. The driver died on the spot.

That day became the darkest moment in Formula One history. Two top drivers died on the spot.

Du Xiuyan never made it to their rendezvous.

After that, Su Xi left her job in automotive research and development to become a racing mechanic.

She became almost obsessively devoted to researching how to reduce driver fatalities as much as possible.

Years later, after Su Xi was named Engineer of the Year by the FIA for improving racing safety equipment, she retired in triumph. Then she was found dead in her home.

When she opened her eyes again, Su Xi had returned to her student days, sixteen years earlier, before Du Xiuyan's death.

This time, she wanted more than anything to save him.

She would draw on a lifetime of technical knowledge about racing to change the darkest moment in Formula One history...

After being reborn, Du Xiuyan's memories of his previous life gradually faded. He fought desperately to remember, but only one name remained in his mind: Su Xi.

He wrote "Su Xi" countless times in his diary.

He didn't know who Su Xi was, but he kept telling himself, "You must remember Su Xi."

To make sure he wouldn't forget the name, he tattooed it directly onto his left arm.

Years later, he finally met someone who really was named Su Xi...

*

On the day Du Xiuyan safely won the championship, Su Xi braved the danger, climbed over the barrier, and tossed her cap high onto the track, congratulating him in the classic way.

Du Xiuyan took off his helmet and walked toward her from a distance, smiling. His amber eyes looked impossibly beautiful in the shifting light.

This time, he caught Su Xi around the waist and back and lifted her effortlessly, raising her above himself.

As Su Xi stared at him in astonishment, he spoke in a lazy, deep, magnetic voice, smiling: "Su Xi, why did you choose to enter the racing industry again, in this life? It's the most dangerous path there is."

Su Xi froze. When she lowered her eyes to look at him, they were already red with tears.

His gaze was tender. "Su Xi, you've waited a long time."

Note:

[SC, happy ending, both leads are reborn]

The male lead was reborn before the female lead, but lost his memories of his previous life. He will remember everything later.

This story takes place in a fictional world and has no connection to real racing teams or drivers.

[Coming Next] Back Before My Face Was Disfigured

Whenever Qiao Ye visited her mother, she often felt a gaze from the room next door.

Cold and clammy, like a snake lying in wait, slowly slithering along her spine.

At the end of the psychiatric hospital corridor was an iron door that was always locked. Behind it was a dangerous madman.

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 killed himself. He lost his inheritance, and from then on sat in a wheelchair, babbling incoherently and shut away from the world.

The Lu family's devil had become the Lu family's madman.

How tragic!

Everyone said Lu Xianchen was a murderer. Qiao Ye kept her distance until she read the silent pleas for help that he repeated again and again with his lips.

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 gaze was terrifyingly clear. There was no sign of madness in him.

"Get me out of here, and I'll make sure you and your family are safe for the rest of your lives."

At the risk of her life, Qiao Ye smuggled a message out for him.

He seemed satisfied. He pulled her close and slowly brushed his knuckles over the scar on her face, as though inspecting a personal possession someone had damaged.

Qiao Ye went rigid, helpless and afraid.

After being disfigured, this was the first time anyone had looked at her like this, without disgust or pity.

There was only a cold, obsessive scrutiny.

His emotionless, icy eyes fixed on her. He asked in a low voice, "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.

His warm, wet kiss landed on her ugly scar.

Qiao Ye shuddered violently.

But Lu Xianchen held the back of her neck, his voice low and hoarse, tender almost to the point of madness.

"They ruined you."

"That's all right."

"From now on, whoever touches you, I'll chop off their hand."

*

One dark night, Qiao Ye watched Lu Xianchen get pushed from the top floor. She cried out for help, but someone struck her with a club, killing her instantly.

When she woke, Qiao Ye had returned to the age of eighteen, before her disfigurement.

That was the year Lu Xianchen, the eldest son of the Lu family, returned from Switzerland after completing his studies, ready to take over the family business.

Qiao Ye went to see him. "Mr. Lu, please be wary of the people around you. Don't let yourself end up in danger again."

The man in the chair was refined and self-possessed, utterly unlike the man in the psychiatric hospital.

Later, Qiao Ye, who had often been bullied before, found that everyone in the dance company treated her with the utmost respect. They even gave her the best roles outright.

Everyone thought she had a powerful backer they couldn't afford to offend.

And that person was Lu Xianchen.

The man sat in the shadows, unhurriedly clearing every obstacle from her path.

"Qiao Ye, in this life, you have someone to rely on."

Qiao Ye was once the brightest new star in the world of ballet.

She made her stage debut at fourteen and stunned everyone with her skill. The media called her a rare genius.

But when she was eighteen, a spotlight fell from above the awards platform. Her body was badly burned, her face ruined, and 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 had been the true genius, but a car accident had taken away her legs. Qiao Ye would continue the path her mother had been unable to finish.

In her previous life, she dragged herself forward, covered in scars, and reached the top ten years too late, winning the world championship in Saint Petersburg. But she died 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 take it all back.

*

Happy ending, SC, one-on-one romance, mutual redemption.

A brooding, obsessive male lead. He is not perfect.

Both leads are reborn, and the deaths in their previous lives were part of a conspiracy.
