(Also known as The Mutual Pursuit of a Top Student and a Transfer Student)
Aloof top student Cheng Yu × chatty underachiever Xu Man
Cheng Yu has known since childhood that he is superfluous. Nearly every misfortune in his family began when he was born. His mother died of postpartum hemorrhage, his father refused to raise him and started a new family, and his grandfather died of illness when Cheng Yu was seven. His grandmother was so devastated that she took to her sickbed. From then on, the word “curse” followed him as he grew up.
Before Xu Man showed up, Cheng Yu was the famous ice-cold top student at Qinghe No. 1 High School. He kept his distance from everyone. Though he was class monitor, his classmates both liked and feared him. He seemed like a lonely, clear-eyed outsider, never quite part of student life.
After Xu Man arrived, Cheng Yu smiled. Cheng Yu cried. Cheng Yu started talking more.
Xu Man came blazing into Cheng Yu’s cold, dark life, and Cheng Yu felt warmth. He no longer felt superfluous.
But fate had other plans. It brought them together, only to force them apart. Such is the joy and sorrow of life.
Only the strong have the right to speak. That was the greatest lesson they learned.
Years later, the two meet again, both stronger than before. What will happen this time?
