Lu Chen, 34, is a brilliant, aloof professor of science and engineering. He is rigorous in his reasoning, emotionally detached, and applies rational analysis to everything. He has even devised a “love formula.” He thought life could be as orderly as academic research, until one day Su Qian, a literature-loving romantic from the School of Literature, barged into his classroom like an unexpected variable. She never played by the rules of logic, often using flowery language to disrupt his rational rhythm, and even brazenly called his lecture notes “poetic code.”
They thought they were nothing more than “academic rivals” in the classroom, but Su Qian’s lively, adorable nature gradually melted the ice in Lu Chen’s heart. Without realizing it, he began caring about her a little more, then a little more still, even quietly looking out for her campus life. Su Qian, too, gradually discovered that beneath this aloof professor’s exterior was a tender, devoted heart.
And so the love formula of a science-and-engineering man collided with the romantic fantasies of a literary girl, setting the stage for a warm, sweet campus romance. Through one small mishap after another and their bickering like a pair of happy rivals, their feelings steadily grew. Will this encounter between reason and emotion finally help them solve each other’s “love formula”?
