[Youthful Campus Romance + Mutual Secret Crushes + Mutual Healing + Cocky Guy and Sweet Girl]
On the rainy day they first met, she was beneath an umbrella, and he was out in the rain.

Xu Suisui, a sweet girl pretending to be rich while actually poor, versus Shen Jue, a cocky guy pretending to be cool while secretly soft-hearted and stubborn. A boy's secret crush is one person's battlefield of chaos.

On her first day in the city after getting into school from a small town, Xu Suisui stumbled upon the school bully Shen Jue in the middle of a group fight.
From then on, the name Shen Jue became part of her youth.
She's a well-behaved girl pretending to be rich, and all she wants is to keep up the act quietly throughout high school. She never expected Shen Jue to keep catching her in the most mortifying situations.

Xu Suisui thought keeping her distance would bring her peace, but the farther she tried to stay away, the more she was forced to get close.
