ABOE + college campus + 1v1 + equally matched leads + happy ending

An A who acts like a troublemaking demon king on the outside but is kind and soft-hearted underneath × an E who pretends to be his nemesis and relentlessly pursues him

Nemeses become underlings, underlings become husbands, and the gong has a secret crush on the shou

Third-year student Jiang Ziwu rules his corner of campus thanks to his top-tier A status. He smokes, drinks, dyes his hair, flirts with girls, and gets up to every kind of mischief. Just as he’s riding high, though, he runs into his mortal enemy.

His nemesis makes trouble for him at every turn: video-calling him in the middle of the night, staring him down in class so he can’t sleep, and even sticking his nose in when Jiang Ziwu wants an iced cola.

After his iced cola is snatched away, Jiang Ziwu frowns. “Why are you always making things difficult for me?”

“Drinking cold things all the time isn’t good for you…” Mo Leng slowly pulls a love letter from his pocket. “I’m going to confess to you.”

“Again?” Jiang Ziwu narrows his eyes and studies him for a long moment. “Hold it. What are you up to this time?”

And so, the person who had been misunderstood for the ten-thousandth time quietly takes back his love letter, while quietly planning his next confession.

It isn’t until he catches the scent of pheromones that Jiang Ziwu realizes something is off.

Aside from discovering that the person who started out as his nemesis and later became his underling is actually a rare E, he also realizes that the other’s pheromones only spread when he’s around.

So Jiang Ziwu cautiously asks, “Do you like me?”

“Mm,” Mo Leng nods. “You’ve asked me that several times.”

“This time I’m serious.”

“Then I need to correct you,” Mo Leng says, taking out a silver ring.

“I’ve had a crush on you for a long time. Will you be my wife?”

Luckily, they touched each other’s wounds and saw each other as they truly were.
