She Heard Me Badmouthing Her, and Now the Beauty Won't Let Me Get Away

(Intense push and pull | Top-tier tension | A deeply fragile feel | Romance between highly intelligent people | Winning back his wife)

[Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, pure and alluring campus beauty × Domineering yet obedient puppy-like campus king]

E University was as radiant as a garden in full bloom.

On the very first day of term, a “local emperor” showed up.

He Zizhou gave a speech as the freshman representative, and from then on, the “local emperor” had his eye on her.

The local emperor’s lackeys kept picking fights with her. In a fit of anger, He Zizhou announced in front of everyone, “I’m E University’s campus beauty. It’s only natural that Qu Jiangyan likes me. What about you? What do you have?”

“Even if Qu Jiangyan likes me, I still wouldn’t be interested in him!”

“So what if his family is rich? They’re only rich at this school. Once you leave campus, there are plenty of families richer than his!”

“Qu Jiangyan is a good-for-nothing! You’re the ones who treat him like a treasure every day. In my eyes, Qu Jiangyan isn’t worth a damn!”

“If Qu Jiangyan likes me, that proves I have what it takes. I can find someone even better and richer in the future. How about that?”

Her tirade was fierce as a tiger’s, but from then on, whenever they met again, she fled like a gecko.

He Zizhou never imagined that the person she’d been denouncing so passionately would hear every word.

From then on, she ran and he chased. She couldn’t escape him even if she sprouted wings…

A star fell into the deep sea, and a cliffside epiphyllum bloomed in silence. The light he had spent his whole life protecting would never shine for her again. (They are separated by a misunderstanding in the middle; the ending is happy.)
