[Cool-headed, warm-hearted STEM whiz × emotional, literature-loving chemistry sweetheart]
[Lighthearted, sweet campus romance, two strong leads, an ensemble coming-of-age story]
Lin Xingwan has two identities: the chemistry student who always botches her experiments, and the romance author “Tangxin,” who has written plenty of sweet love stories but has never been in love herself.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to date. She just doesn’t believe in love.
Until she splashes reagents onto Lu Chen’s lab coat.
Lu Chen is a legend in the math department. He’s quiet and aloof, and supposedly immune to women. He doesn’t get angry when she splashes him. He just studies the stain and says, “The angle of the splash is textbook-perfect.”
She starts getting curious about him. Later, she learns he figured out long ago that she’s “Tangxin.” He never lets on. Instead, he helps correct the chemistry mistakes in her novels while awkwardly trying to get closer to her in his own logical, science-minded way. When people gang up on her, he’s the first to stand up for her. When her wrist hurts, he brings her medicine in the middle of the night. When she’s feeling down, he messages her: “The data shows you’re unhappy today. Do you need me to show up?”
His painfully earnest, straight-laced concern is enough to melt anyone’s heart.
This is a story about two “odd ducks.” She writes about love but doesn’t believe in it; he doesn’t know how to express himself, but proves his feelings through his actions. When you meet the right person,
you’ll realize that the sweetest romance doesn’t need a script at all.
