Jiang Jinxia died, but the memories of her death were completely blank.
Even more absurdly, her soul was tethered to Shentu Huai, unable to go more than two meters away from him.
Shentu Huai was a high school prodigy and oddball. Now he's a rising star in tech, pursued by investors.
But his life is so monotonous it's almost outrageous! No business dinners, no socializing, just the same two places every day. His clothes are always black and white, and his spacious apartment is decorated more plainly than her funeral hall.
At first, she would turn her back when he showered. Eventually, she could count every mole on his body.
Boring. So boring.
Until the first anniversary of her death. On TV, her boyfriend from when she was alive was holding hands with her manager, their fingers entwined, as they announced their relationship.
A reporter asked, "Why choose today to make it public?"
Her boyfriend answered gently, "Because we were both the people closest to Jinxia. She's in another world now, and I'm sure she'd bless us."
Jiang Jinxia was silent for three seconds, then exploded.
"Bless you, my ass! I've only been gone a year! You heartless bastard, how dare you even mention my name?!"
She yelled until her throat was raw. Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind her.
"Jinxia."
She whipped around. Shentu Huai was standing there. The man who was always expressionless was now weeping.
He could see her?
She slowly raised her hand and touched his tear-streaked eyes. The next second, the world spun, and she was reborn in her second year of high school.
"I heard Shentu Huai was waiting for a junior girl at the school gate yesterday. Does he like her?"
Jiang Jinxia sipped her drink through a straw and glanced at the boy coming up the stairs. With absolute certainty, she said, "No way. The person he likes is me." Then she turned and headed for the stairs, ready to recreate their first meeting after being reborn.
But the moment she touched his sleeve, Shentu Huai jerked sideways as if he'd been shocked. She lost her footing and tumbled straight down, in so much pain she nearly ascended to heaven on the spot. Shentu Huai had already disappeared.
Seriously, what was wrong with him?!
[Bonus scene]
Jiang Jinxia was half asleep when she felt a pair of hands hovering around her neck. She opened her eyes, and Shentu Huai immediately pulled his hands back.
She yawned, grabbed his hand, and put it back around her neck. In a lazy voice, she said, "Come on, let's see how much you love me today."
She knew this man had a strange "aggressive defense mechanism" when it came to her. The moment she got close, his body went on guard before his mind could catch up. The more he liked her, the stronger his defenses.
Reading guide: The male lead has only ever been with one person. The female lead was not a virgin in her previous life, but is one after being reborn. 1v1, pure fluff, estimated length: 200,000 words.
Special note: The male lead displays cute aggression toward the female lead, but has never truly hurt her. (Cute aggression: When confronted with something unbearably cute, you feel an urge to squeeze it until it bursts or even take a bite. When an emotional experience is too intense, the brain may counterbalance and regulate it through outward behavior that expresses the opposite emotion, to keep you from being overwhelmed by excessive happiness and delight.)
