Looking for books similar to The Campus Beauty Senior Had Never Been in a Scandal, Until I Started College (Heartbeat Engine). Preferably not about a senior student, though those are fine too.
A Love Song Across Time: Lin Xiao, a female college student passionate about astronomy, unexpectedly encounters the mysterious transfer student Su Ran during a school-organized stargazing event. Su Ran is always a loner, exuding an elusive aura, yet Lin Xiao is inexplicably drawn to him. During stargazing, Su Ran's unique insights into constellations and the universe astound Lin Xiao, leading to a lively conversation. In their conversations, Lin Xiao discovers that Su Ran possesses an extraordinary understanding of the universe, as if he himself has traveled there. As time passes, they stroll together on the campus playground, sharing their dreams and secrets, their feelings subtly deepening. However, Su Ran always avoids discussing his past and background, filling Lin Xiao with doubt. One day, Lin Xiao discovers strange symbols and records about space travel in Su Ran's notebook. Just as she is filled with confusion, Su Ran frantically snatches the notebook, losing his temper with Lin Xiao for the first time. Lin Xiao is wronged and bewildered, and the two fall into a cold war. Soon after, a sudden meteor shower descended. Lin Xiao, recalling the beautiful times she and Su Ran had spent stargazing together, couldn't resist going to their usual rooftop. There, she saw Su Ran gazing sadly at the sky alone. Su Ran finally confessed to Lin Xiao that he actually came from the distant future, accidentally stranded in this era due to a time-space experiment. He knew he would have to return sooner or later, so he had always been hesitant to get too close to Lin Xiao. Upon learning the truth, Lin Xiao didn't back down; instead, she firmly told Su Ran that she was willing to face the unknown with him. Just then, a spacetime rift suddenly appeared, a powerful force pulling at Su Ran. Lin Xiao held Su Ran's hand tightly, unwilling to let go. On the verge of life and death, their love unleashed a mysterious power, temporarily stopping the rift from engulfing Su Ran. To help Su Ran return to the future, Lin Xiao and Su Ran consulted various materials, searching for a way to repair the spacetime rift. They discovered in ancient texts that a mysterious stellar power deep within the universe might be able to repair the rift. Thus, the two embarked on an adventure to find this stellar power. They traversed vast deserts, arrived at ancient ruins, unraveled numerous mysteries, and obtained clues pointing to the power of the stars; they also dived into the mysterious ocean, battled guardian beasts, and acquired crucial items. Throughout this process, their feelings deepened, and their trust in each other reached its peak. Finally, they found the power of the stars. With Lin Xiao's help, Su Ran successfully repaired the spacetime rift. At their parting, the two embraced and wept; Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with reluctance, and Su Ran gently wiped away her tears, promising to return to find her. After returning to the future, Su Ran used his knowledge and abilities to continuously research time travel technology. After countless failures, he finally found a stable method for time travel. When Su Ran reappeared before Lin Xiao, she was both surprised and delighted, and the two embraced tightly. This time, time was no longer an obstacle; their love transcended the boundaries of time and space, ushering in a beautiful ending. A Love Song at the Time Rift: Su Nian is an antique restorer, introverted and gentle, with a unique obsession with old objects. One day, while sorting through his grandfather's belongings, he discovered an exquisite pocket watch. The pocket watch was old-fashioned, its hands frozen at a mysterious moment, strange symbols engraved on its back. Su Nian curiously fiddled with it when suddenly, a bright light flashed, and he was sucked into a strange space. When he opened his eyes again, Su Nian found himself in Shanghai during the Republican era. Rickshaws crisscrossed the streets, cheongsams swayed, and the melodious strains of a gramophone filled the air. In his haste, he bumped into a girl, scattering her books on the ground. Su Nian quickly apologized and helped her pick them up. As he looked up, their eyes met, and the girl's clear eyes made Su Nian's heart flutter. The girl's name was Lin Yue, a progressive female student, enthusiastic and brave, full of anticipation for the new world. Lin Yue noticed Su Nian's strange attire and unfamiliar accent but didn't ask any questions, assuming he was a lost stranger, and kindly showed him around. Gradually, they became acquainted, often strolling together in the alleyways, sharing their secrets. Su Nian marveled at the unique charm of the Republic of China era, while Lin Yue was filled with curiosity about the future world Su Nian described. They went to see open-air movies together and attended gatherings of progressive students, their feelings quietly blossoming. However, this idyllic period was short-lived. Su Nian discovered that whenever a solar eclipse occurred, the surrounding spacetime would fluctuate, and his body would become ethereal, as if he could be forcibly pulled back to his original era at any moment. He was afraid of losing Lin Yue and desperately searched for a solution, but to no avail. Lin Yue noticed Su Nian's strange behavior and, after questioning him, Su Nian reluctantly revealed the truth. After her initial shock, Lin Yue hugged Su Nian tightly, saying she wanted to be with him no matter what. Another solar eclipse was approaching, and Su Nian had a premonition that this would be the most dangerous one. He decided to take Lin Yue to their beloved riverside before it happened, to create a final memory. The eclipse arrived, and the spacetime rift tore wildly apart. Su Nian held Lin Yue tightly, but was still separated by a powerful force. Lin Yue cried and reached out, trying to grab Su Nian, but could only watch him disappear into the light. Back in the modern era, Su Nian was consumed by pain and longing. He pored over countless ancient texts, searching for a way to return to the past. Finally, in an old notebook, he discovered records about time-space nodes and special energies. It turned out that by collecting five antiques imbued with special energy at specific time-space nodes, a portal to another era could be opened. Su Nian began his arduous journey, searching for these five antiques. He endured hardships, collecting them one by one from ancient auction houses and mysterious collectors. When he arranged the antiques in a specific order, a familiar light flashed, and he was transported back to the Republic of China era. Lin Yue stood by the river where they had parted, gazing blankly at the water, her eyes filled with melancholy. Su Nian softly called her name. Lin Yue turned sharply, her eyes first flashing with disbelief, then overflowing with joy and tears. The two ran towards each other, embracing tightly. This time, the barriers of time and space were broken by love, and they were finally able to stay together forever.
