(The title is from the male lead's point of view, while the synopsis is from the female lead's point of view.)

Du Xiyue knew of Shen Jian'an, or rather, she knew his name even earlier, from the city's mock-exam rankings. She was fifth, and he was sixth.

The first time she noticed him at university, he walked into the classroom dressed to the nines. Du Xiyue was drawn to him, and when she looked his way, he was looking at her, too. Their eyes met by chance, and he walked past with a slight smile.

Like all the other girls, she fell for him at first sight and harbored a little hope.

But those thoughts vanished in an instant.

She might as well forget it. He was a heaven-blessed prodigy, a rich second-generation heir, a young master, a top student, and all the rest.

He was in a league of his own, nothing like an ordinary girl like her who had worked hard for good grades.

She gave up on wanting him, only to unexpectedly become his friend.

Everyone wants to fall in love. Du Xiyue didn't dare like him, so she chose to like someone else: his good friend, Chen Zheng.

Then one unexpected intimate encounter made her fall for Shen Jian'an's looks and want to find out what it felt like to kiss him.

Well, she could only dream about that.

Du Xiyue didn't dare overstep.

But that thought gradually grew stronger until she was thinking about him day and night, unable to forget him.

One day, Shen Jian'an messaged her: "The person you like is Chen Zheng, right?"

She didn't dare tell him it was him, so she replied, "Yeah."

That was one huge misunderstanding.

Shen Jian'an chased after love in the rain. "I can accept that you like him, but please accept me as your boyfriend first."
