One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only love, sweet romance, everyday cohabitation, irresistible physical attraction
[Socially anxious straight-A student heroine pretending to be a spoiled brat x double-standard hero who talks himself into falling for her]
Xia Chu is a college-bound student who loves studying. Somehow, she transmigrates into a book.
The cold male lead's spoiled ex-girlfriend. The System requires her to keep up the act for 210 days, then break up and go home with excellent eyesight and all the money she's earned.
While studying, she does her best to play the part of a convincing spoiled brat.
But in real life, she's socially anxious. The first time she sees a girl confessing to her boyfriend, her immediate reaction is to hide.
"You can't see me, you can't see me..."
She silently prays that she might become invisible.
Things don't go as planned. Not only does the male lead see her, she also has to follow the plot and keep up her spoiled-brat act.
She steels herself and says, "Could you come over here with me for a moment?"
Su Muchen follows her, half-convinced. After Xia Chu looks around to make sure they're alone, she plants her hands on her hips and demands, "Su Muchen, you... explain what was going on with that girl just now."
Su Muchen got a girlfriend because his mother kept desperately arranging blind dates for him, so he finally agreed when Xia Chu confessed.
He makes sure she understands that she's only there to serve as a shield.
To avoid trouble later, he proposes that they sign a dating agreement.
Little by little, he starts to think maybe he could have a girlfriend after all, a real one.
He tries dating her. They move in together and hold hands. The girl even drugs him...
He goes along with it, more or less, but she carries him into the bedroom and makes him sleep alone...
She asks to break up just as he's getting ready to propose to her.
He pins her against the wall, eyes bloodshot.
"You can have all my money, but breaking up is not an option."
