(A seemingly aloof but secretly flirtatious top-tier star x a timid, money-loving little reporter who values her life)
[Short story + reunion after years apart + sweet romance and redemption + long-planned pursuit + mutual devotion]
They first met at fifteen. He was the “untouchable beauty” everyone hated, while she was a meek, insecure good girl.
Su Wan’s kind gesture of picking up his book for him was all it took for the girl to find a place in his heart.
After Xu Yangsheng protected her instinctively time and again, Su Wan fell for him completely. She became his little shadow, always following him around, never imagining he would keep pushing her away.
Just as eighteen-year-old Xu Yangsheng finally decided to take a step forward, someone else arrogantly seized control of his life.

Six years later, they met again. The girl who had once been so timid had become slick-tongued and quick to talk back.
Never mind. He’d win her back first and figure out the rest later.
But once Xu Yangsheng had made up his mind to get Su Wan back, he suddenly realized she had long since forgotten all about him.
Su Wan was shocked to discover how foolishly rich Xu Yangsheng was. Faced with his pursuit, she exclaimed, “Are you sick?”
Xu Yangsheng raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, I’m sick. Seriously sick. You’ll have to take responsibility for me.”
Su Wan stared at him speechlessly. “If it’s that serious, shouldn’t you be making arrangements for what comes after?”
Xu Yangsheng folded his arms and said earnestly, “I think there’s still time to save me.”
