My Second Life: I Chose Riches Over My Unrequited Love

For twelve agonizing years, Qi Zhaohan was Gu Ze's devoted shadow, a 'lick dog' clinging to an unrequited love that drained him dry. His efforts were met with cold indifference, and his life spiraled into tragedy, culminating in a meaningless end. But fate offered a cruel second chance. Reborn at fifteen, with the bitter clarity of his past life, Qi Zhaohan makes a decisive choice: abandon the futile chase, sever all ties with Gu Ze, and pour every ounce of his reborn energy into building an unstoppable career and protecting his family. No more desperate pleas, no more pathetic devotion. He's done. However, as Qi Zhaohan sheds his old skin and rises, soaring towards a brilliant future, the once-unreachable Gu Ze finds himself inexplicably drawn to the decisive, powerful man Qi Zhaohan has become. The tables have turned. Gu Ze, who once ignored his pleas, is now desperate for a glance, a word. The hunt has begun anew, but this time, Gu Ze is the one trapped in the crematorium, chasing a heart he callously discarded. Will he ever catch the man he broke?
