In his previous life, Chen Yang was the quintessential “campus beauty’s personal ATM.” He ate steamed buns for three months to buy Lin Weiwei a handbag. The notes he stayed up all night preparing to help her pass her exams became props for flirting between her and her rich second-generation boyfriend, Zhang Yang.

When Lin Weiwei realizes her pushover has changed, she tries her old tricks, only to have Chen Yang tear into her until she questions her whole existence;
