Private Stars: A Heart Calculated by Formula, the Most Rigorous Love Letter Written for You
A comic collision at the opening ceremony, and Lin Jianqing, a sociology student, crashes into the orderly universe of Shen Yu, a physics prodigy. To pay for his outrageously expensive shirt, she’s forced to sign a “lab servitude contract” and become the aloof genius’s personal assistant.
He lives in a universe of absolute reason, speaks in the style of academic abstracts, and even prepares feasibility reports for dates. She is the chaotic variable he cannot calculate, the sole error in his precise equations. Everyone says Shen Yu is a distant star, but she unexpectedly discovers the secret beneath his icy exterior: the way he secretly keeps track of her likes and dislikes, writes apology letters in code, and awkwardly confesses his feelings beneath the stars.
When the “Starbound” competition’s grand prize and an offer from MIT arrive at the same time, reason and emotion face their ultimate showdown. Shen Yu sets aside his international flight ticket and takes her hand under the spotlights at the award ceremony.
“You’ve been part of my plans for the future for a long time. You’re not one option among many. You’re the only solution.”
This is the ultimate clash between an arts student and a science student, and the perfect union of reason and emotion. Watch as an academic heartthrob uses the most rigorous methods to bring an extraordinary romance to life.
