Synopsis

[Cocky, sharp-tongued bad boy and seasoned player vs. sweet-looking, calculating girl who plays by her own rules] No golden finger, no otherworldly good looks. A slow burn, push and pull, a battle of wits, schemes within schemes. What makes a playboy mend his ways is definitely not extraordinary beauty, an obedient personality, or some “one-of-a-kind” special quality. Love isn't won by waiting. What you can't have will always tempt you, and what you can't figure out will always make you want to conquer it. A madman won't take the bait if he doesn't pretend to be a fish. But only a fool would think true love can tame a reckless heart. (Selfish, self-serving, hypocritical, and pretending to be sweet. If this is your type, you'll fall for the heroine before the male lead does.) They aren't each other's first and only partners. The tag was added automatically by the System. This story is all about two people matching each other move for move, pushing and pulling, and wanting to conquer each other. – Xue Wanyi never believed that people's feelings could last. To her, every ambiguous overture was an emotional debt with no strings attached. The only way to avoid falling into an abyss was to stay true to herself. But when the classroom door opened in the second semester of her sophomore year, the familiar figure standing there nearly shattered the defenses she'd so carefully built. Wang Jiayu, the transfer student, was a playboy who could pass through a thousand flowers without a single petal clinging to him, a delinquent who never played by the rules. Their reunion revived old grudges. Smiling, he moved closer, maliciously threading his fingers through hers as he leaned in and whispered, mocking her for being “bad at judging people.” Her eyes remained calm. She even turned the tables on him. Because she had deliberately set the board, and this game began with the first match she lit. He provoked her; she laid a trap. They scored their victories at different times, then cast aside the net. As they struggled to stay rational, whose heart would they stir into a raging storm? When a “good girl” untouched by love meets a playboy who treats life as a game, the battle of wits, with flirtation as bait, has only just begun.

Are High School Romance Novels No Longer Popular?

These days, urban and campus novels all give the protagonist some kind of System. His ex cheats on him, then a gorgeous woman pursues him, and after plenty of face-slapping, he ends up ruling the world and building a harem. Do simple coming-of-age campus stories with one female lead and no System just have no market anymore?
