During the morning rush in the capital, on a crowded subway, Shu Xinran’s face slammed squarely into the back of a man in a black suit. To make matters worse, she was wearing elaborate stage makeup for a school anniversary performance rehearsal, with a full three layers of pale white foundation.
The collision rubbed all the foundation on her face onto the man’s crisp suit, leaving an unmistakable “face print.”
Their eyes met. It was as if something struck her heart, and for a moment, it stopped beating.

Shu Xinran’s heart sank. Oh no. He’s handsome, but is he trying to scam me?
Still, she was clearly at fault, so she had to take responsibility!
“I’m sorry… I don’t know how much it’ll cost…”
“Eighty thousand.”
