<Under revision... Major changes needed, it's too messy...> [Arrogant, theatrical, stubborn but soft-hearted king] X [Goofy, cute and cool girl who can fight and isn't weak]
Theme: Childhood sweethearts are the ones destined to love you.
Her childhood-sweetheart school bully seems cool and arrogant, but behind the scenes he's a jealous, hopeless little drama king who loves putting on a show.
And around Jiang Nian, he's unbelievably well-behaved (not really).
They pursue each other, heal each other, grow up together, and grow together.
Chi Ye: My passionate love for you has been, and will always be, yours alone.
[The high school chapters are set while they're minors, so no dating, but we can build the romantic atmosphere.]
Chi Ye: Come on, it's time to go home, girlfriend.
Jiang Nian: Got another acting fit?
Chi Ye: I'm not acting this time. I mean it.
Jiang Nian: I don't believe you. Your acting is so terrible that I saw right through you immediately. You're not convincing at all. Look, this is how you should act... (and on and on)
Chi Ye: Then how about I kiss you first and prove it?
Jiang Nian: ???
Come and cheer yourself up [laughing][laughing][laughing]
But please don't torture me 😢
