[Top-tier angst + strangers in public, intimately familiar in private + playboy's road to redemption]
[Gentle, resilient, poor top student x cold on the outside, wild and unruly young master]
A covered walkway at Mingshi High School divided the regular and international programs like a natural border.
Wen Taoning munched on a two-yuan bun from a breakfast stall, watching Ke Jingyi, the international program's dazzling golden boy, admired by everyone. He was radiant and flamboyant, carefree and wild, surrounded and watched over by wealthy heirs.
No one could have imagined that the two of them would ever get involved.
When rumors about them spread, everyone waited to laugh at her face-slapping humiliation.
Outside the international program's classroom building, everyone got their wish: Ke Jingyi treated her with cold indifference.
But later, at an extravagantly lavish yacht party, Wen Taoning accidentally fell into the water. So why did Ke Jingyi jump in after her, his face cold?

In the crowded covered walkway, everyone watched Wen Taoning confront him with red-rimmed eyes:
"You grew up together. You're so close. What about me?"
"Ke Jingyi, what am I to you?"
The whole school saw Ke Jingyi coldly ignore her.
Later, Wen Taoning clutched her admission letter, turned away without hesitation, and severed every tie between them for good.
At the yacht party, Wen Taoning lost her footing and fell into the water. Ke Jingyi smashed his phone and plunged in after her, his eyes red.
After that day, the untouchable golden boy went mad.
In a run-down old alley, Ke Jingyi waited through the night in the bitter wind. His hands red from the cold, he grabbed Wen Taoning's wrist and refused to let go.
"I really know I was wrong."
