Intro. Linh Nhi moved to the city for high school, living in a tiny rented room and working every night to survive. Her life was harsh and lonely until she met Lam Nha, a gentle, talented classmate who noticed the exhaustion hidden behind her quiet smile.
One rainy evening, Linh Nhi fainted from overwork. Lam Nha carried her through the cold, bought her warm porridge, and even paid her school fees when she planned to drop out. Slowly, they grew closer. After graduation, he proposed with a cheap ring but a gaze so sincere that she couldn’t stop crying.
Their happiness didn’t last. One night, a car lost control and rushed toward Linh Nhi. Without hesitation, Lam Nha pulled her into his arms, taking the hit for her. He died before she could say anything, leaving her broken and screaming in the dark.
But one morning, Linh Nhi woke up and found herself back at sixteen—right before she first met him.
“This time… I will protect you,” she whispered.
