Ning Yusheng and Shen Chuji are the kind of people whose names alone make you think of each other.
In fact, they really are connected, in a way that no one else can quite figure out.
They've been childhood friends since before they were born. Boys tend to become aware of romance earlier, and Shen Chuji buried his feelings for Ning Yusheng in his heart from the time he first fell in love.
But he doesn't seem to have hidden them very well. Everyone except the two people involved seems to know that Shen Chuji likes Ning Yusheng, including their parents.
Ning Yusheng's father even rages helplessly over it, because thanks to Shen Chuji, he's never once been allowed to braid his precious daughter's hair!
Everyone thought they'd naturally fall in love and get married, but the classic story of a new arrival beating the childhood friend played out in their lives after all.
Ning Yusheng realized she liked Shen Chuji one morning in her second year of high school, when she dreamed that the two of them were kissing!
Shen Chuji pushed her down beside the bed, holding her in place as desire grew more intense, while their breaths came in ragged waves...
Ning Yusheng was terribly embarrassed, but little did she know that not long afterward, she would swear never to forgive Shen Chuji, never to miss him again, and even decide to hate him.
Yes, she told herself that over and over, each time she woke from a midnight dream.
Every childhood-friend pair is a pair of heavenly boy-and-girl immortals, so reluctant to part that they won't even leave for the human world separately.
And so midnight between September 27 and September 28 became their birthday. Hand in hand, they came to the human world to continue their past-life bond.
