Before awakening, Lu Qingyuan was controlled by the plot. She willingly ran around and sacrificed everything for Song Zhe, becoming the pathetic simp in everyone's eyes.
After awakening, she saw through the deception, struck back, and vowed to escape the tragic ending written for her.
Xie Yanci, her childhood friend from a family close to hers, is the aloof top student everyone at school agrees is best left alone. Whenever they meet, they trade barbs.
No one knows that beneath this arrogant, cold exterior, this big shot has a childish heart. He fell for her long ago, without even realizing it.
Even fewer people know Lu Qingyuan has a secret: she can hear everything he thinks beneath his calm exterior.
The villains keep setting traps, but she deftly turns the tables. The two rivals keep bickering, while love quietly takes root.
This time, she is no longer a supporting character in a book. She will have a life of her own, and the affection hidden behind their endless banter.
[Bonus Scene]
Seeing another boy strike up a conversation with Lu Qingyuan, Xie Yanci steps forward and cuts in coldly. Then he turns to Lu Qingyuan and says, "What are you dawdling for? The research group is about to meet."
His thoughts: [What kind of taste does Lu Qingyuan have? That guy obviously has ulterior motives, and he's so ugly too. Isn't she afraid of getting eye strain? And she's smiling at him so happily. Is she that desperate?! Damn it, damn it! This young master is about to die of anger!!]
Lu Qingyuan follows at a leisurely pace, hearing his muttered thoughts and chuckling softly. "Xie Yanci, are you jealous?"
Xie Yanci turns away haughtily and gives a soft, cold snort. "As if. Only an idiot would get jealous."
Lu Qingyuan smiles. "Right. I still like childish idiots who say one thing and mean another."
