[Gentle on the Outside, Strong-Willed Good Girl x Overbearing, Protective Rich Heir] [Push and Pull] [Angst First, Sweetness Later] [Both Are Inexperienced]
Jiang Nan Nan thought college would be like a coming-of-age romance drama.
Instead, she offended a school administrator right at the start of the semester, and from then on they made life difficult for her at every turn.
Xu Yan. A gentle senior, a white shirt, a smile as he tells her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here." Jiang Nan Nan falls for him.
Until she discovers that the man who says he loves her has been investigating her background all along. The school's abuse of its power against her, and her discovery of its secrets... are all connected to him in one way or another.
Her first love was a lie.
Whenever she found herself on the edge of a cliff, someone was always there to sort everything out for her.
Lu Zi Ye.
He protects her by whatever means necessary, even staking his own future on it. But in Jiang Nan Nan's eyes, he is a swamp, while Xu Yan is the light.
"Can you just leave me alone?" Again and again, she pushes away his kindness.
He never says a word. He just quietly stays by her side.
Until one day, Lu Zi Ye takes a knife for her.
Holding him as he lies in a pool of blood, Jiang Nan Nan screams like a madwoman, "I choose you! Wake up!"
He smiles, his voice so faint it's almost inaudible:
"Jiang Nan Nan... you finally... want me."
The first few chapters are a bit slow. Starting from the conflict in Chapter 10, the story line is very smooth and the characters' expressions, movements and emotions are very delicately depicted.
