Coming soon: Reborn as a Scum Alpha, I Marry a Cool, Unhinged Beauty on a Whim. A sweet younger-partner ABO romance.

[Both are virgins / happy ending / lovers reunited after a breakup / melodramatic / written to indulge my tastes, so read with caution]

Xie Zhiyu and Nan Chu were childhood sweethearts and had been dating for nearly six years.

But in the end, Xie Zhiyu accidentally died on her way to confront Nan Chu after discovering that she had cheated.

When she opened her eyes again, Xie Zhiyu discovered she had been reborn as a twenty-eighth-tier actress in the entertainment industry who shared her name.

Ten years had passed since the year she died.

Nan Chu had gone from an obscure star to a hugely popular award-winning actress. Her face was still as beautiful as a flower, but every frown and smile brought Xie Zhiyu a deep pang of pain.

Yet as Xie Zhiyu watched Nan Chu on television, she no longer felt the urge to confront her.

The tenth year after Xie Zhiyu’s death, Nan Chu carried on working hard as if nothing had happened.

No matter how late she worked, she still returned to the apartment they had built together.

The clock had stopped. The flowers and plants they had grown had long since withered and died.

There were fewer and fewer traces of Xie Zhiyu. One day, Nan Chu suddenly realized she had almost forgotten Xie Zhiyu’s face.

But it wasn’t until the day they met again that she understood.

Nan Chu would never forget Xie Zhiyu.

Xie Zhiyu still looked the same as she had years ago, but she walked right past Nan Chu and ran, smiling, toward another woman.

Still twenty years old, Xie Zhiyu couldn’t quite understand the Nan Chu of today.

Watching the woman look at her as though she were the one who had been abandoned, Xie Zhiyu couldn’t help saying, “Ms. Nan Chu, I’m not going to be your replacement.”

Reader notes:

1. My cat wrote this story. Please don’t offer unsolicited writing advice.

2. It gets a little melodramatic. (Maybe more than a little.)
