The ancient martial arts academy has two great unsolved mysteries. Lin Ruanruan, the soft-spoken new student, looks as if a gust of wind could knock her over, so why does she always crush pens and snap stainless steel chopsticks when she gets nervous? And Professor Lu Beichen, the abstinent “walking iceberg code,” makes “increase hallway patrol frequency” his top strategic priority and secretly fills encrypted diaries. Why?
No one knows that Lin Ruanruan, who clutches a fluffy rabbit, is a once-in-a-millennium mixed-element martial body from a reclusive family. She shattered rocks at three and mastered boxing at ten. She hid in the academy to escape an arranged marriage and live an ordinary life. And no one knows that beneath Lu Beichen’s gold-rimmed glasses is a master of overthinking, with a mind full of imagined scenarios. His diary is filled with “tactical analyses” of his growing feelings for the little white rabbit.
During the fitness test, Ruanruan “accidentally” knocks Lu Beichen over, drawing the attention of the whole school. During a secret-realm trial, she “panics” and punches a boulder to pieces, calmly blaming it on her family’s self-defense techniques and sending the professor’s heart racing. When enemies invade, Ruanruan is forced to reveal her strength, only to meet his smiling gaze. “So my little white rabbit is a Tyrannosaurus rex.”
Ruanruan tilts her head and smiles. “Then is Professor Lu a sly fox?”
From then on, the icy professor’s tactical handbook gains one ultimate directive: lure the little white rabbit home and pamper her for life.
Sweet romance and fierce fists fly side by side. This opposites-attract couple is so adorable, you’ll be hooked!
One day after they’re married, Ruanruan taps his diary and giggles. “You saw through my act the first time I knocked you over?” Lu Beichen pulls her into his arms. “Otherwise, how could I have stood in exactly the right spot to get ‘knocked over’?”
