Everyone knows that Yunqi High has two legendary playboys.

One is Jiang Nianyun, who passes through a field of flowers without leaving a single petal untouched. The other is Zhou Jiali, who changes girlfriends as often as he changes clothes, never dating the same girl two days in a row.

They had nothing to do with each other, until one afternoon, when Jiang Nianyun came home from school and unexpectedly saw Zhou Jiali sitting beside her father, calmly eating dinner.

Seeing her standing dumbfounded in the entryway, Jiang's father stood up with an unfamiliar woman and introduced them. "This is Auntie Zhou, and this is her son, A Li. He's older than you. Once Auntie Zhou and I get married, you'll have to start calling him your big brother, understand?"

Then Zhou Jiali greeted her with a refined, polite air. "Hello, future little sister."

Jiang Nianyun's brain short-circuited. She never imagined that the boy she'd briefly encountered that morning in the abandoned school building would somehow become her brother that same evening.

What was going on?

She immediately remembered what people at school said about him. In front of both parents, she pointed at him and cursed: "You rotten cucumber! You psycho! Who wants to be your sister?"

*

Later, after Zhou Jiali's mother unexpectedly passed away, Jiang's father couldn't bear to leave him alone and took him in.

Living under the same roof, the two couldn't stand the sight of each other. They deliberately kept their distance at school, putting on a show of barely knowing each other whenever anyone was around.

The two legendary playboys of Yunqi unexpectedly settled down for a while.

While everyone was still wondering why the pair had gone quiet, an explosive piece of news suddenly swept through the school.

According to a reliable witness, the scene went like this:

On the rooftop terrace, Zhou Jiali grabbed Jiang Nianyun by the wrist with one hand, pinned her against the wall, and kissed her.

A young man and woman, kindling and flame.

Strangers in public, inseparable in private.

Love is the surrender of a free mind, the reckless courage and impulse to do what you know you shouldn't.

[They are in a foster relationship, are not registered in the same household, and share no family or blood ties.]

Here's a preview of my next book~

Next book: Reborn to the Years When the Top Student Had a Crush on Me

After graduating from a top university, Zhi Ning landed a campus recruitment job at a major company. She worked hard for years and finally earned a promotion. Just as the difficult days seemed about to end, she was in a car accident on her way home from work late at night. She died.

It was a gruesome death. She was covered in blood, her flesh mangled.

Worse still, the driver fled the scene, leaving her alone in the middle of the road, with no one to answer her cries for help.

Desperate, Zhi Ning thought, "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, King of Hell, I've spent my whole life doing good deeds and never done anything wicked. I'm still young. Surely it's not my time to die!"

But no one came to save her.

Just as her consciousness began to fade away, a cold voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Ding dong. Host successfully bound."

Zhi Ning was stunned, and almost dead.

She really was about to die, not pretending, and had no energy to wonder where this strange voice came from. She just kept crying out to it for help.

"Save me! Please, save me!"

The voice suddenly rang out in her mind. "I can save you, but first you need to complete a task I've assigned you."

At this point, Zhi Ning had no choice but to nod. "Fine. As long as you can save me, I'll agree to anything."

Thinking of all the ridiculous plots in TV dramas, she asked confidently, "Does the System want me to win over an abstinent prince, or a cold Buddhist monk who's never been near a woman? Or do you want me to melt a demon's heart with love and save the world? Just say the word! I'll agree to anything! I haven't spent all these years reading Mary Sue CEO novels and watching historical romance dramas for nothing. I'll ace whatever task you give me."

But a cold voice came from inside her head. "This time, your task is to return to high school."

"Return to high school?"

The System said, "The task is simple. Starting from the day you return, you must come first in every exam. If you fail, the System will erase you from the past, and no trace of your existence will remain."

"?"

After hearing that, Zhi Ning cursed furiously. "What? What kind of sick task is this, you stupid System? I've been out of school for years! You're asking me to get first place as soon as I go back? That's impossible!"

The System's voice echoed in her mind. "You can also refuse and keep waiting to die."

Zhi Ning: "..."

She gritted her teeth, swallowed her resentment, and put on a smile. "I'll take it. I'll take this impossible task."

Then she grumbled to herself: Just wait, you stupid System. Once I complete the task and get a new life, you'll be sorry!

-

One day, Zhi Ning shamelessly clung to Sui Zhiyu's arm and asked, "Hey, you haven't tutored anyone before, have you? I'll give you a chance. Want to sell?"

Sui Zhiyu looked baffled. "Sell... sell what?"

"Yourself," Zhi Ning said with complete composure. "Name your price. I don't have money, but I've got my life."

Under the boy's scrutinizing gaze, she added with utmost seriousness, "Of course, I'm not some domineering CEO, so I don't do that 'I'll give you my life' stuff. I don't have a life to offer either, so you'll have to figure it out."

"..."

And that's how Sui Zhiyu got stuck with Zhi Ning.

After all, he was the famous top student in their grade.

But no one would ever guess that this famous top student had been secretly in love with someone for years.
