The Gloomy Man Who Coveted Me Was Reborn

Sincere, honest, and slow-witted average girl X fake aloof beauty, with an insecure, obsessive, gloomy madman

-

Li Qianling really loved her boyfriend.

He was exceptional in looks and grades alike. He was a little aloof, but softhearted and kind at heart, exactly her ideal type!

But at some point, her boyfriend's obsessive-compulsive tendencies grew worse. He not only demanded that she give him flowers every week, but insisted that their dates follow the plan to the letter.

If anything went off schedule, he would sulk, looking aggrieved.

Li Qianling always had to soothe him with sweet words, then let him hold and cuddle her for a long time before they could move on.

Her boyfriend kept pulling this routine, and Li Qianling gradually lost the will to argue. In a daze, she even agreed to his suggestion that they move in together.

Maybe that's just what the honeymoon period is like.

But her boyfriend seemed excessively concerned about a male friend she'd recently met.

Just mentioning him made her boyfriend explode. His emotions became wildly unstable, and he even started hurting himself.

At the hospital, her boyfriend lay pale-faced in the bed, murmuring in his sleep:

“Leave him, please...”

Li Qianling's heart softened, and she chose to cut off contact with her friend.

From then on, the name “Ji Fengyuan” became taboo in their relationship.

After making up with her boyfriend, Li Qianling was happily preparing to get engaged when she received an anonymous email.

Her boyfriend's identity, background, personality, appearance, even his name... were all fake.

How many lies had he told her?

-

When Xu Jia learned that she had died at sea trying to save Ji Fengyuan, he was very calm.

He calmly attended her funeral, calmly returned to the small town where they had met, and calmly ended his life.

...When he woke again, he had been reborn in the past.

He changed his appearance and took a new name, Xu Xiangcen. Then he imitated everything about Ji Fengyuan and took his place, meeting her in his stead.

He would recreate, one by one, everything she and Ji Fengyuan had done together in their previous life.

Then surely she would love him as deeply as she had loved Ji Fengyuan in her previous life.

But that man showed up again!

He was so afraid he couldn't sleep at night, afraid she'd fall in love with Ji Fengyuan again.

Even more afraid she'd discover that he was nothing but a poor imitation...

Reader's Guide:

1. Male lead is reborn; romance-focused, melodramatic, and loosely plotted.

2. The heroine is average-looking by conventional standards, with a touch of being adored by everyone.

3. The male lead has had plastic surgery. He has a tragic background, is anxious and obsessive, and isn't right in the head.

4. If it's not your thing, please don't leave abusive comments. Thank you.
