Gu Wantang’s Plan to Turn the Tables: The Campus Heartthrob’s Image Crumbles

Gu Wantang, the sole heir to the Gu Group, is the very picture of a rich heiress in the eyes of the public. Her long, straight black hair falls to her waist, setting off her cool, porcelain-pale skin. Her features always carry an air of aloof nobility, and her elegant bearing dazzles everyone wherever she goes. But no one knows that this seemingly icy young heiress has an unconventional mind and is a “sweet on the outside, scheming within” type who excels at getting what she wants through reverse psychology.

Her life had been moving steadily along the script of “inherit the family business and accept a business marriage,” until her grandfather chose Lu Shiyan, Star China University's famously untouchable campus heartthrob, as her match. He was said to have top grades and unreal good looks, yet to keep everyone at least three meters away. Gu Wantang rejected this “transaction without love” from the bottom of her heart. After thinking it over, she came up with an “absurd plan to call off the engagement”: deliberately reveal all kinds of “flaws” in front of Lu Shiyan, using ridiculous antics to make him dislike her and put an end to the family alliance once and for all. But as soon as the plan got underway, everything went completely off course. For her first stunt, she secretly put an “abstract doodle” in Lu Shiyan's art studio, hoping he'd think she had no taste. Instead, he stared at it for half an hour, then turned to her and said, “The color contrast has a lot of impact. Could I use it for reference?” For her second act, she pretended to be hopeless at drawing. She deliberately made the poster for their joint charity event crooked and lopsided, hoping he'd think she was holding him back. Unexpectedly, the down-to-earth poster struck a chord with the students and became the event's biggest hit...
