My Ex's New Partner Is Actually Me

*Rekindled romance | Everyday bickering | Secret identity revealed*

[Blurb]

Bad news: My ex has risen from the dead.

Good news: He's way too handsome.

Bad news: He seems to have a new girlfriend.

Good news: Wait, why is his current girlfriend me?

On the first day of her second year of high school, Xu Qingyang was late. She pointed in a random direction and unwittingly sent the clueless rich boy Zhou Yan straight into the seat beside her.

Then a minor car accident brought her ex-boyfriend back into her life. Unfortunately, he seemed to be taken, so Xu Qingyang kept things polite and distant, wanting nothing to do with someone else's man.

But Zhou Yan launched an all-out campaign to get close to her.

At a dinner hosted by their former teacher, he put distance between them: "We aren't close, Teacher."

Xu Qingyang: Got it. Sure.

At the office elevator, he blocked her way: "What a coincidence. You work here too."

Xu Qingyang: Should've checked my horoscope before leaving home.

Early one morning, while she was moving, he brought over a cake: "What a coincidence. Your next-door neighbor is here to celebrate your move."

Xu Qingyang: ??? Is this a haunting?

On her way to a get-together, he leaned against the doorway: "What a coincidence. I'm headed that way too. Want to go together?"

Xu Qingyang: I choose to say no.

When she was learning an intangible cultural heritage craft, he showed up with his whole family: "Teacher, the company assigned me to learn this."

Xu Qingyang: Who understands the pain of having your ex as a coworker?

Xu Qingyang's inner thoughts: He's like a ghost that won't go away, flirting with everyone! And he's a scumbag with a girlfriend!

Zhou Yan's inner thoughts: Am I really not being obvious enough? You're the only girlfriend I've ever had, from beginning to end!

She's focused on her career while fans ship her with men left and right. He gets insanely jealous, but can only stay by her side in the most humble way.

A long-planned cyberbullying campaign erupts, and rumors spread across the internet.

Lawyer Xu retaliates by brandishing her law license and filing a lawsuit, turning the tide. In court, her airtight reasoning sets the record straight, leaving the rumor-mongers shaking in their boots.

Her fans go wild: "Sis, kill me!"

At last, her little sidekick drops the act and closes in, step by step. "Lawyer Xu, I think I've been wronged. Can you finally give me a title?"
