(In a way, they both ran into a top-tier heartbreaker the moment they left the tutorial village...)

She makes a scene! He laughs! Northeast Chinese romance! They’re a perfect match!

!!!!!!

Heiress Shu He falls from the top overnight when her father runs off with the family money, leaving her only a useless bank card and the promise, “Wait for me to come get you.”

Forced to seek refuge with relatives in Pan County in Northeast China, she ends up in the territory of Zhang Si, a streetwise delinquent.

When they first meet, the cigarette-smoking man curses inwardly, “She looks like nothing but trouble.”

Later, he’s holding her and coaxing her: “You’re more trouble than anyone else can handle. You belong here with me, where I can spoil you like some ancestral treasure. Isn’t that great?”

What she thought would be a brief encounter becomes a long journey of healing for them both.

He teaches her to run through the mud, and she shows him the brilliance of the night sky.

“Go on, be the little moon in the sky again.” Zhang Si said as he pushed her away with his own hands.

But Shu He tied her pearl bracelet around his wrist instead. “My light has never been in the sky.”

He gazed up at the moon from the mud, never knowing that he was her light, too.
