(The complete manuscript is finished.) “The perfect, top-of-the-class ice-cold academic prodigy with deep emotional wounds × the sunny, goofy school heartthrob who’s always at the bottom of the rankings. A healing youth romance that goes from bickering to falling hard!”
On the first day of senior year, Lin Ningshuang’s perfect image falls apart...
She rushes into the classroom late and Lu Mingze catches her, only for her to end up clinging to their homeroom teacher.
Lu Mingze fumbles while serving food in the cafeteria, splattering her white shirt with a whole plate of tomato and egg stir-fry.
And the most mortifying part? Their homeroom teacher assigns them seats together!
Help!!
Until that carefully staged “hero saves the beauty” moment...
When a group of thugs surrounds her, he rushes in without hesitation to protect her.
At last, Lin Ningshuang trembles as she opens up about her scars: “I’m afraid that if I’m not perfect... I’ll be abandoned.”
Lu Mingze gently wipes away her tears. “It’s okay if you’re not perfect. I’ll always be by your side.”
Things are never that simple.
At first, Lu Mingze only thought it was fun to tease her. Later, he learned...
Her apparent coldness was really an emptiness inside when it came to expressing her feelings.
Her supposed need for perfection was really a defense mechanism formed under the pressure of her childhood.
He falls for her bit by bit and strives to become better for her.
The novel’s message: Be yourself and love yourself. We don’t have to be perfect for someone to love us.
