Synopsis

[Print edition signed] [Short drama adaptation now streaming]

[Secret crush comes true | Playboy reforms | Lost love rekindled | Both leads are devoted to each other | Sweet romance]

At the senior-year New Year's Eve party, the girls of Dorm 501 drank and chatted merrily.

For a party game, everyone had to share a secret no one else knew.

Xu Nanzhi had a little fruit wine and her cheeks flushed. She whispered, "I like Fu Shijin."

Her roommates went from eager anticipation to disappointment.

"How is that a secret?"

"Two-thirds of the several thousand students at school like Fu Shijin."

Dorm leader Lin Shu took a swig and earnestly tried to talk her out of it. "Fu Shijin comes from a rich family and was born a playboy. All his girlfriends are campus beauties. Any one of his advantages is enough to break the hearts of ordinary girls like us."

"Zhizhi, we're not in his world, so let yourself move on."

Xu Nanzhi eventually did let herself move on.

Many years later, at a class reunion, Fu Shijin sat on the sofa, distracted, glancing at his phone every so often.

The moment the screen lit up, he grabbed his coat and got ready to leave.

The friend beside him grumbled, "Fu, leaving so soon? That's not cool."

"I'm picking up my wife after work. You guys have fun. Dinner's on me tonight."

"Didn't you give your new car to your wife?"

Fu Shijin smiled. "She's been working all day. She shouldn't drive when she's tired."

"..."

Stop tormenting us single guys! Why are you flaunting your love life?

Who could have guessed that the playboy from Yanjing High School would end up completely wrapped around his wife's finger?

A post keeps popping up on the homepage of Yanjing Affiliated High School's forum. Its title reads: Can Senior Xu Nanzhi write a book? How do you make a playboy reform? Help!

It's so good! I think I discovered it yesterday or the day before, and I finished it today. I couldn't stop reading! It kept me hooked, I couldn't get enough! The male and female leads are both excellent students, they're going to go to university together, and then they'll have a sweet and happy life together. I don't know if they'll separate because of some things along the way, but author!

So good! I don't understand why there are so few people reading it? Such a great book! 👍👍 I love the personalities of both the main and supporting characters, and the female lead's personality is not at all awkward.

I really loved it! This isn't your typical "pampered wife" novel; it's all about strong men and strong women! Fu Shijin's love for Xu Nanzhi truly seeps into his bones. I finished it in one night, and my eyes were killing me! 😢 For me, the most impactful part of the whole book was the first extra chapter, the one where Zhao Qingyu has a crush on Xu Nanzhi.

This is so good, I cried so much 😭, Zhao Qingyu really made me cry! From the beginning, I felt he might like Zhizhi, but he was so good at hiding his feelings, I almost thought I was wrong. Although he didn't appear much, I still noticed him, especially when I read the extra chapter about his unrequited love, it was a little sad. I hope he can find his happiness. It's highly recommended.

Ahhhhh, so sweet! It's totally my cup of tea—sweet but not cloying. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was laughing like a freak in bed. But for some reason, the rating isn't high. I'm currently experiencing a reading slump; I can't get into anything, but this one was truly captivating and incredibly good.

This novel is absolutely amazing! Although the male lead is a bit aloof at the beginning, it gets incredibly sweet later on. Both the male and female leads are top students with excellent grades. They break up due to a misunderstanding, but they quickly clear things up and get back together. It's a sweet campus romance, truly captivating! You won't regret reading it! 🥰🥰 Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Author, keep up the good work! 😘😘
