[Forum-style opening + win-her-back-at-all-costs romance + two top students + contrasting personalities]
The campus forum has exploded! One misleading photo of a kiss has permanently linked the names of Lu Chen, the Finance Department’s playboy, and Shen Qinghuan, the Physics Department’s ice queen!
Onlookers are placing bets like crazy: how many days will it take Young Master Lu to win over the unattainable beauty?
Lu Chen coolly lays down the gauntlet: “Three days. I’ll make her ask me out.”
But then...
He gives her limited-edition tickets? She turns around and gives them to a stranger.
He blocks her way with a luxury sports car? She walks around it as if it weren’t there.
He declares his claim on her in the cafeteria? She politely sends him packing with an introductory first-year lecture.
After being humiliated again and again, Lu angrily smashes his phone: “That woman has no heart!”
Until one day, he happens to see the girl who’s cold to everyone gently feeding a stray cat.
Lu Chen has a sudden change of heart. He drops all his tricks and awkwardly becomes an anonymous cat dad...
When the server crashes in the middle of the night and she’s left with no one to turn to, he shows up with dark circles under his eyes and casually fixes the problem with a few lines of code.
Shen Qinghuan finally gives him a proper look. “You... what are you doing all this for?”
Lu Chen pins her against the lab door, his voice hoarse. “For... a fool who wrecked his whole image for you and lost the bet so badly it wasn’t even close.”
