    A single glance was enough to recognize him, a second glance was enough to spark a connection, and a third glance was enough to seal the deal – this description perfectly captures the male protagonist's feelings. Their youthful love was pure and innocent, a gentle and quiet type of well-behaved girl versus a sunny and humorous type of devoted boy. They confirmed their relationship during the first snowfall, but later, due to studies and other reasons, they each pursued the same goal, promising to reunite after the college entrance exam. The entire story avoids melodramatic plots like reconciliation or parental separation; it's a normal romance. The male protagonist is a top student, and the female protagonist is equally impressive, each possessing her own unique strengths.

    Who would understand?! My childhood sweetheart must have been my nemesis from a past life! My mom and his mom were best friends, got married and pregnant in the same year, and even because his mom got so excited watching a TV series that her water broke, my mom also went into premature labor on the way to the hospital. So, Zhou Ming'an was born more than an hour before me, becoming an inescapable curse. I've been compared to him by elders in terms of grades and personality since I was little, and yesterday, in a moment of madness, I threw two coins at him—basically telling him not to expect me to take responsibility. The way he held those coins, lost in thought, I'd be grateful! The person Shen Xinning hates most in this life is none other than Zhou Ming'an!
