We’re the childhood sweethearts everyone talks about. You know the type: the top student and handsome male lead from a cheesy romance drama. But I, the heroine, am completely ordinary. Apart from singing off-key, falling over when I dance, and having cooking skills that are as unpredictable as a blind-box draw, I’m only somewhat photogenic. Our story began that summer... That was the summer we were born. We were both born in Xia City, in the same delivery room. Because he was born just one second before me, I, Tong Yimu, was destined to be the little sister bullied by him, Xia Yichen, for the rest of my life.
Xia Yichen was a schemer from childhood. In front of other people, he was the perfect top student and domineering CEO, but I was the only one who saw the dark, sly wolf hiding beneath that persona.
As for me, Tong Yimu, I’ve always had a clever little head, but I’m hopeless at everything. Watching dramas is my greatest talent. I love looking at handsome guys, and I love them all equally. But only from afar, since I’d never actually get to meet them.
Even though we were childhood sweethearts, he moved abroad from our hometown in middle school, and we began living in different countries. At first it was hard to adjust, then life grew busier and busier. It was as if the person who had been part of my life since childhood was slowly fading into the past. Our parents still kept in touch, of course. The time difference and busy lives made our contact less frequent, but that didn’t affect their friendship. They were best friends, after all. As for how our story began again, we have to go back to the internship season after I graduated from college...
