[School days at first + rekindled love + intense push and pull + a hard-won second chance]
[Cold prosecutor x stunning top-tier star]
*He always marked the wrong answers in his notebook with an X, but his pen stopped beside my name.
Top student Jiang Yu was suddenly assigned to sit beside me, supposedly to “help the underachievers.”
But his gaze always fell on the exam paper that had drawn me into an anonymous report.
Then came that night on the rooftop, when a mint candy silenced my questions. “Ye Ning, know too much, and the candy won’t taste sweet anymore.”
Only later did I understand: its coolness was the only thing that steadied him as he fought the darkness alone.
*Seven years later, he put the handcuffs on me himself.
On screen, I was a newly crowned Best Actress. In real life, I was a key witness in his “antiquities smuggling case.”
The cold metal cuffs locked around my wrists. His fingertips brushed my pulse by accident as he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. “Please cooperate with the investigation, Ms. Ye.”
He leaned closer and added in a frigid whisper only I could hear, “It’s been seven years, Ms. Ye. Your acting is still as good as ever.”
I looked up, only to catch sight of his phone’s lock screen:
the faded “anti-counterfeit sun” I’d doodled on a whim back in high school.
Cameras pursued me, rumors flew, and he coldly blocked every prying question. “That’s irrelevant. Shut up.”
Only I knew what turbulent reefs lay beneath that calm surface.
*He resents me for leaving without a word all those years ago, but he doesn’t know I kept that secret for him for seven years.
// School days at first, then city life.
Both leads are each other’s first and only love, happy ending.
The plot is super interesting and quite original, I highly recommend everyone to watch it! 🥰🥰🥰
