My Archrival Is My Nemesis, and My Nemesis Is My Wife

[Two female leads / redemption / mutual devotion / happy ending / characters awaken]

A fake ray of sunshine who turns clingy later on vs. a cool on the outside, warm on the inside, and cunning big bad wolf

Xia Yang was the good girl and model student everyone talked about.

She had been top of her grade for years.

Then Yu Qiao showed up and took her first-place ranking.

Xia Yang began to see her as a rival.

When they first met by chance, Xia Yang realized Yu Qiao didn't even notice her.

So she watched Yu Qiao whenever she could and deliberately misinterpreted her actions.

Then, little by little, she was drawn to her.

Yu Qiao always felt someone was watching her.

She realized it was the classmate who had run into her in a sudden downpour and shamelessly asked to share her umbrella.

One day, Yu Qiao saw something Xia Yang desperately wanted to keep hidden.

Their meeting was a collision between two lonely, helpless souls.

Yu Qiao discovered the vulnerability beneath Xia Yang's cold exterior.

Xia Yang discovered the obsession beneath Yu Qiao's cheerful mask.

Two souls starved of love reached out to each other. As they pulled one another close, they glimpsed each other's wounds and soothed them until they scabbed over and finally healed.
