Lin Xi spent ten years of her youth helping Chen Yang rise from school uniform to business suit, surviving in a basement and carving out a bloody path to success. When he finally made it, all she received at the celebration banquet was a divorce agreement and the cold words, “You don't deserve the person I've become.”
A car accident sent her hurtling back to her first year of high school.
Given another chance at life, she swore to stay away from scumbags, focus on both her studies and her career, and never again be a love beggar!
Chen Yang, the gentle and considerate first love from her past? Get lost!
Shen Yu, the sharp-tongued nemesis she remembers? Best steer clear of him, too!
But things aren't going according to the script...
She avoids Chen Yang like the plague, yet Shen Yu keeps “coincidentally” intercepting her:
While they were on cleaning duty, he crouched to pick up the filthiest trash for her, then called her “a vacuum cleaner with lungs.”
When her ex harassed and hurt her, he nearly beat him into the ICU. Then he turned around and stuck a cartoon bandage **precisely in the wrong place** on her perfectly unharmed hand.
*When she was chased by city inspectors while trying to make ends meet with a street stall, he swooped in like a heavenly warrior and dragged her into a desperate escape, saving her most expensive goods while yelling, “Who am I supposed to blame if you get yourself killed, idiot?”
Even more shocking, she discovers that the bottom of Shen Yu's treasured matching water bottle is deeply engraved with five words: “Lin Xi is an idiot.”
In his schoolbag, there's always a physics notebook made just for her, filled with annotations calling her a “pighead.”
The deep feelings he thought he had hidden are clumsy and overwhelming.
The hatred she thought was carved into her bones begins to waver in the face of the truth.
