    The female protagonist finds the gang leader. She proposes marriage because she's pregnant. "Xie Qingxiao, I'm pregnant," Lin Xiangyi says to the tall, burly young gangster sitting opposite her in a state-run restaurant with a distinctly vintage feel. In her past life, she and Xie Qingxiao were in different classes and grades, but he always seemed to provoke her, pulling her hair, stealing her books, and even secretly following her home many times! Based on his public image and the rumors surrounding him, she always had a bad impression of him, naturally assuming he was a lecherous scoundrel and never giving him a friendly look. In the novel, when she learns she's had a relationship with him, she's filled with hatred and anger, believing Xie Qingxiao framed her. She hates him intensely, preferring to endure the strange looks rather than marry him. Three months later, she discovers she's pregnant, and coincidentally learns that the one who drugged her might not be Xie Qingxiao, but Lin Huihui. Enraged, she went to confront Lin Huihui, but was pushed by Lu Dingyuan and miscarried.
