Jasmine and Xi Yangui [Rebirth]

Also known as "He and the Tsundere Cool Guy HE'd."

"Do you know? If you get close to me, you have to marry me." The young man feigned calmness, his eyes slightly narrowed, refusing to show any fear, but his flushed ear tips already revealed everything.

Tsundere, awkward cool guy x straightforward, noble young mistress.

Years later, Xi Mo returned to her hometown and spent a short, beautiful, yet brief time with her former high school classmates. Leaving the dinner party at the hotel, an accident occurred. A large truck, in the blink of an eye, rushed towards the intersection where Xi Mo was waiting for a car.

In the nick of time, a man in a baseball cap suddenly sprang from beside her, pushing her away, and the world plunged into darkness.

She reopened her eyes in the hospital. "My condolences, he must have loved you very much." In a daze, Xi Mo thought she misheard.

This time, she decided to take a step into a world she knew nothing about, but which he had always steadfastly guarded.
