The Cool Campus Belle’s Guide to Taming Her Husband

One contemptuous reprimand entwined Zhao Qingyi, the aloof campus beauty of Jin Women's University, with Lin Zhiyuan, a freshman at Jiangning National University.

Born into a prominent family and fiercely controlling, she treated him like dirt. "Get ready to be my attendant," she declared, dragging him into a web of control disguised as "compensation." Grinding ink, tending incense, serving tea, even those hazy, suggestive silhouettes in the bathroom... With the confidence of an upperclassman, she maneuvered at every turn, treating him like a plaything in her palm. Then the fiery transfer student Liu Yiyi barged in. "Zhao Qingyi's little errand boy? He's quite something!" Her words ignited the battle.

"Senior, I... recorded you last night." Power changed hands in an instant, and for the first time, the aloof campus beauty tasted what it was like to lose control.

A game of control that began with a fragrant misunderstanding: in the end, whose heart would be captured by whom? This contest of power and love on a Republican-era campus has yet to find a winner. Love and hatred are tangled together, and it has only just begun...
