“Everyone must die someday: some die at the hands of a Scorpio, others at the hands of a Capricorn.”
Yi Qinzheng, a Sagittarius and a sports major with a gift for romance, has never struck out in love, until his roommate teases him for not even being able to handle a Capricorn. His competitive streak fired up, he sets his sights on Wu Zhiyu, the icy beauty of the law school and a Capricorn. He has no idea that this game of seduction is about to turn three lives upside down.
Wu Zhiyu’s logical mind renders all of Yi Qinzheng’s flirtatious tricks useless: she sees through his library pickup line, makes him a laughingstock in mock trial, and even points out that the milk tea he brings her contains too much sugar. Worse, he finds himself helplessly drawn to this terrifyingly cool-headed woman.
Back at the dorm, Wu Zhiyu’s “best friend,” Leng Qing, a Scorpio, seems unruffled on the surface, but lies awake every night staring at their chat history. He has been in love with her since high school, and now he is forced to help his romantic rival devise a plan, watching helplessly as the woman he loves gradually softens toward that idiot.
When Wu Zhiyu secretly falls in love with Lu Song, a law prodigy, and is brutally hurt in a storm of public scrutiny, Leng Qing’s carefully plotted scheme to drive them apart tears the couple apart for good. Years later, the four meet again in Jiangcheng...
It turns out that the most overwhelming love of youth often carries the sharpest wounds.
