Withering Love

The favored son of heaven, Le Yuli, meets Xin Hua, a stubborn and headstrong girl who can't make up her mind.

In high school, transfer student Xin Hua becomes deskmate to the school's heartthrob, Le Yuli. She assumes that this young master from the capital is hot-tempered and hard to approach.
