✨ In the Rift, she keeps missing her skills with Xi Shi, so he plays Yuan Ge and stays right by her side as her bodyguard;
At her desk, she cries over advanced math, so he stays up all night breaking down problems as her personal tutor.
She always thought this gentle, protective “bestie” was a little gift from heaven.
Then, on the anniversary of their pact, he finally confesses: I’m a guy. I lied to you, and I’ve liked you for a long time.

They save their first meeting for the fireworks on New Year’s Eve.
It turns out the best kind of love is when the tenderness I’ve kept hidden for a whole year can finally be given to you in person.
