[Master of disguise and gentle honor student × tough, aloof, foul-mouthed school bully who's secretly starved for love | Saving each other · Mutual secret crushes · Evenly matched]
Everyone fears Cheng Ye and calls him a womanizing jerk. Only he knows that his carefree attitude is a shield, hiding the wounds inflicted by his family. That is, until the first time he sees her, and for the first time feels the urge to protect someone he likes.
She is the “perfect child” teachers and parents always hold up as an example: obedient, sensible, and top of her class. But all she wants is to break free of this cage. Then she sees Cheng Ye, growing wild and untamed.
They meet when they are young and unknown, and become the “worst enemies” of each other's youth.
Then they bury a “time capsule,” slipping in notes about feelings they don't dare to confess, tying their lives tightly together.
He is the only light that sees through her disguise; she is his only salvation in the mire.
For her sake, the school bully who has always been cold learns to tread carefully, giving her all his tenderness and obsession. “Qiao Yi, you're the only one who gets to tell me what to do. Because... you said so.”
Qiao Yi hugs him. “Cheng Ye, it's not that nobody wants you. You're mine.”
“Time tears away the disguises, yet brews love into wine.”
