Rekindling Lost Love (GL)

Synopsis: 

Back when the Ji family was at the height of its power, the young and reckless Ji Cen’an did more than her fair share of rotten things. The most outrageous of them all was using every trick at her disposal to pursue Nan Jia, despite knowing that Nan Jia had already given her heart to someone else. Step by calculated step, Ji Cen’an maneuvered Nan Jia into becoming her girlfriend, behaving as willfully and despicably as she pleased without even realizing how awful she was.

Back then, Nan Jia was still a nobody in Z City. She was proud and aloof, full of defiance but lacking the power to fight back. Even when she was bullied, all she could do was grit her teeth, her eyes reddening as she endured it.

Nan Jia resented her. Hated her.

She looked down on Ji Cen’an and despised her more than anyone else.

Ji Cen’an never cared. She only grew worse, escalating her behavior without the slightest remorse.

But retribution never fails to come. The Ji family collapsed overnight like a crumbling mountain, and Ji Cen’an fell from the clouds, losing everything. She became so destitute and wretched that she nearly had to beg on the streets, reduced from heaven’s favored daughter to dust beneath everyone’s feet.

Years passed after they parted, and when they finally met again—

Ji Cen’an had fallen even further, trapped in failure and poverty, with no hope of ever returning to the life she once knew.

Meanwhile, the delicate little white flower from years ago had risen to occupy the very position Ji Cen’an once held. Nan Jia had become Z City’s hottest new elite—successful, dazzlingly beautiful, and far beyond anyone’s reach.

Nan Jia still hated her.

She could neither forget nor let go.

Her obsession had seeped deep into her bones and blood, leaving her unable to cut herself free.

Ji Cen’an: …

If she had known this would happen, she really should have had a few more morals back then.

A formerly spoiled rich heir who courted disaster with everything she had and is now down on her luck × an older woman who was once restrained and forbearing but is now just a tiny bit unhinged

[Two messed-up wives ruining each other’s lives]

[So, even you have a day when you fall into my hands]

[The story begins with their reunion: a wealthy second-generation heiress recklessly courting disaster while she was at the height of her power, only to fall from her lofty position and find herself dominated by the “delicate little white flower” she once tormented.]

P.S. This is a 1v1 romance. Both protagonists are law-abiding, upstanding citizens, and while they were together, they were in a proper, legitimate romantic relationship. There is absolutely no behavior between them that violates the other person’s wishes or involves coercion. We live in a society governed by law, so positive values are a must.
