The Ultimate Heartbreaker Reincarnates, Only to Find Himself a Pathetic Pushover?

In his past life, he had gone out of his way to win their affection, humbling himself to the point of self - annihilation. But how did they repay him?

His first love abandoned him for a wealthy heir, mocking him as delusional and naive.
His childhood friend despised his devotion, pretending not to recognize him when they crossed paths.
And the queen bee of the school? She sneered at him, refusing to even glance in his direction.

But now, the man has been reborn—cold, detached, and effortlessly commanding both power and allure. Women fall under his spell without hesitation.

Until one day—

His first love appeared before him in a slinky strapless dress, her eyes shimmering with tears, her voice trembling: "Please… give me another chance, Master. I’ll do anything you ask…"
His childhood friend was pinned against the door, her breath uneven, her gaze filled with desperate longing: “Master, even if it’s just as your secret lover—I’d be willing…”
The once - arrogant queen bee shed her coat, leaning close to whisper in his ear, her breath warm and shaky: “Master… please, let me make it up to you…”

He let out a low chuckle, his long fingers trailing over their heated cheeks, his eyes glinting with mockery and disdain. “You want me now?” he murmured, his tone icy. “Too bad. You’re too late.”

Reborn as the Harem King

Hearing Zhou Yi's immediate response, Chu Han was overwhelmed with regret and guilt. Despite all the terrible things she'd done to him, he hadn't refused her plea.

[Chu Han's remorse value +20, affection value +20.]

Her tears fell even harder as she managed to choke out, "City Hospital Number One…"

Zhou Yi flagged down a taxi, and the two headed toward the hospital.

Inside the car, Zhou Yi handed her the pancake again.

"Eat. Otherwise, your mom will worry when she sees how weak you look."

Though Zhou Yi didn't know much about Chu Han's family, he recalled that her mother—a petite, gentle-looking woman—had often visited the school to bring meals for Chu Han. Sometimes, she even brought extra portions for Zhou Yi himself.

Just for that kindness alone, he couldn't stand idly by.

Besides, he needed Chu Han's remorse points.

Zhou Yi was pragmatic, but not devoid of warmth—a touch of humanity kept him from becoming a cold, calculating machine.

Chu Han accepted the pancake, her tears streaming down her face as she cried. "I'm sorry… I shouldn't have treated you the way I did before…"

But the original Zhou Yi would never hear it.

Zhou Yi added softly, "This is your favorite egg pancake place. I thought eating it might cheer you up."

Chu Han broke down again. She had always known there was a stall that made delicious egg pancakes, and Zhou Yi had always bought them for her. She hadn't realized it was the same one they'd just visited.

Her chest tightened until she could barely breathe. She couldn't bring herself to take a bite, her tears falling uncontrollably.

Zhou Yi handed her a tissue. "Wipe your tears. I'll help you, so stop crying."

Chu Han grabbed his hand, clutching it tightly, unwilling to let go.

In the past, she had only cared about material comforts, dismissing Zhou Yi's love and trampling on his pride without a shred of guilt. The more she reflected on her actions, the more monstrous she felt. Overcome with self-loathing, she slapped herself.

Zhou Yi caught her wrist. "What are you doing?"

Chu Han sobbed, her voice filled with remorse. "I'm sorry… I'm so sorry. I was terrible to you. I shouldn't have treated you that way…"

Zhou Yi's expression remained calm. "What's done is done. You were my first love, after all. I won't let your mother suffer. You don't need to do this."

Chu Han pleaded through her tears, "Yi-Gege, I know I was wrong. Please, can we get back together?"

Even if Chu Han wanted to reconcile now, Zhou Yi couldn't go back.

His words cut through her heart like a knife. By the time she had fallen for Zhou Yi, he was no longer the boy who had waited for her.

Her lashes trembled as large tears fell onto Zhou Yi's hand. "Just one more chance, please? I've really changed…"

"Some things can't be undone," he said quietly. "Once broken, mirrors cannot be mended."

Chu Han let go of Zhou Yi's hand, collapsing into sobs. Her cries were pitiful, the kind that would soften anyone's heart.

The car pulled up slowly in front of the hospital.

Zhou Yi helped Chu Han out of the car. The girl was still sniffling, her eyes red and swollen.

"Do you want your mom to see you like this?"

Chu Han froze, then wiped her tears and took a few deep breaths to steady herself.

Now wasn't the time to wallow in her heartbreak. Her mother was waiting for her in the hospital bed.

Once everything settled, she would try to win Zhou Yi back.
