Synopsis

Two top students + high school romance + mutual salvation + happy ending

Main couple: “A cool-on-the-outside, flirty-on-the-inside male lead x a resilient, reed-like heroine”

Side couple: “A rebellious kid from a military compound x a proud, tsundere girl who says one thing and means another”

A boy with a cold expression moved into the apartment across from Zhong Li.

His name was Zhou Liuque. He had sharply defined brows and slightly upturned phoenix eyes. He ranked first by a wide margin and won competition prizes one after another.

He was indifferent to everyone, polite but distant, as if separated from the world by a pane of glass.

Until one day, her best friend Su Xiaoxiao nudged her mysteriously. “Li, that Zhou Liuque… why does he always smile at you? It’s only gone up by one pixel, but I saw it!”

Zhong Li froze, then blinked. “You must be imagining things, right?”

Later, teachers and students from the whole school gathered in the auditorium for a reading event.

Standing onstage in an ordinary white shirt, he seemed cool and aloof, utterly at odds with the noisy crowd around him. Sunlight streamed through the high windows, casting a halo over his sharply defined profile.

His steady voice carried through the microphone, clear in everyone’s ears:

“Actually, we’re all drifting through a sea of people. So here’s wishing us all a safe landing.”

Zhong Li looked up sharply

and met his unfathomable gaze.

…

“There are many plants in this world that bloom, but you are the tree that bears fruit.”

Are High School Romance Novels No Longer Popular?

These days, urban and campus novels all give the protagonist some kind of System. His ex cheats on him, then a gorgeous woman pursues him, and after plenty of face-slapping, he ends up ruling the world and building a harem. Do simple coming-of-age campus stories with one female lead and no System just have no market anymore?

I’m Really Curious Why New Authors’ Stories Don’t Get Popular

Looking for stories similar to The Hidden Immortal Venerable: Bringing a Cat and a Pocket Dimension to Blow Up Another World. This topic comes from a frustrated author who's been working hard to update and promote their book, but still hasn't seen any improvement in its stats or earned a single cent. So I'd like to ask everyone for advice.

Youth and Campus Novels

I’m suffering from a reading drought, folks, please save me! Please help me find this book. It’s a modern romance set in a youth school environment. The male lead is mixed-race and Thai. From birth until before middle school, he survived in Thailand by fighting underground matches. He later says he’ll come to China for high school, but the book was eventually abandoned.
