    A sweet campus romance novel. Although the protagonist's identity has a tiny bit of fantasy, neither of them has any special abilities. They come to the mortal world simply to be ordinary people. There's no competition between female characters, no abuse of the female lead, just heartwarming everyday moments. [Crying emoji]

    I highly recommend this book! It's a typical high school campus novel without any rebirth or other special settings, but it's really good. It features two top students, a super cool female lead who pretends to be well-behaved after transferring schools, and a handsome, strong, and tragic male lead. They are mutually attracted, their unrequited love becomes real, and the female lead takes the initiative. I was smiling like a proud aunt the whole time!

    Reader note

    Give this a try. It's an ordinary campus romance novel; there's no Tsinghua University that anyone gets into easily, and no genius who becomes the top student in the entire school just by staying up two all-nighters. Start reading from chapter 37.
