Ye Xiyan of Yunxi No. 1 High School is the perfect top student in her teachers' eyes: her uniform is neat, her grades are always at the top, and she speaks softly and gently, walking with an almost timid meekness. No one knows that after school, this quiet, gentle girl can throw a punch with ease in an old alley, taking down the thugs harassing her classmates in just a few moves, then turn around and become the “good girl” who bows politely to the security guard.
Xie Cheng is the school's untouchable star. His family is influential, and his looks are arrogant and striking. Though he could easily top the academic rankings, he deliberately keeps his grades in the middle. He sleeps through class, is surrounded by admirers between lessons, and has a cold, fierce gaze when he fights.
It all changes when Xie Cheng catches a glimpse of Ye Xiyan's two sides. The edge beneath her good-girl exterior intrigues him, and he starts deliberately flirting with her: snatching her chance to answer questions in class, blocking her way home after school, and even drawling, “She's with me. Don't mess with her,” when others tease her, just to see her flustered.
But Xie Cheng miscalculates. This top student doesn't fall for any of it. He blocks her way, and she arches a brow and asks, “Don't you have anything better to do, Xie?” He throws a difficult problem at her to provoke her, and she solves an even harder one in return. He playfully tugs her ponytail, but she leans close, her fingertip brushing his jaw. “Xie Cheng, do you have a crush on me?”
One flirtatious counterattack is all it takes to make the usually composed Xie Cheng blush to the tips of his ears. He thought it was all a game, but her focus as she solved problems, her fearlessness in a fight, and her sly flirting leave him completely undone. What began as curiosity and a test of wits ends with the school heartthrob willingly falling into the web spun by the top student.
