Synopsis

[Two equally formidable leads, married first and fell in love later, long-planned romance, both pure, intertwined with campus life] Wen Ying and Lu Yishu are married. They were once deskmates, the top two students in their grade at Elite High School, and alumni and outstanding graduates of Jinghua University. Now they’ve paired off with each other and begun a secret married life. Because of her mother’s insistence, Wen Ying feels she has no choice. Fine, she’ll get married. After all, this sworn rival may look like a proper gentleman, but he stands out among the wildly uneven candidates she’s been set up with. After the wedding, Wen Ying intends to treat him with mutual respect and courtesy, put on a loving-couple act for her mother, then keep to herself in private. They’ll stay out of each other’s business and live together in a purely platonic marriage. But things don’t go as planned. On the night they get their marriage certificate, her legal husband, Lu Yishu, makes his expectations for married life clear: “Three times a week.” Neither of them will back down that night. They compete fiercely, taking their rivalry from the classroom rankings to the bedroom, each determined to outdo the other. Lu Yishu has had a crush on Wen Ying for ten years. Through countless days and nights, she has been both the yearning always by his side and a distant moon far beyond his reach. At twenty-five, beneath the kapok blossoms, he finally waited for his moon to come to him. A little scene from the book: “Deskmate, the teacher went too fast just now. I still don’t understand this problem. Could you explain it to me?” “Dear, you always held first place in our grade. I don’t quite understand this move. Could you teach me?” [Love is when you take 99 steps toward me, and I turn around and take the last step toward you.]
