Liu University Finance Department has two undisputed top students: Xi Jing, born into a wealthy family, and Zhong Yu, who has nothing to her name.
Their backgrounds couldn't be more different, and even though they're in different years, people are always comparing them.
What gets people talking most is how Zhong Yu beats Xi Jing in every subject.
Everyone thinks the proud heiress won't accept being second best, and that the two are bound to be sworn enemies.
And that's exactly how it seems.
Someone once saw Xi Jing carry her tray over to sit across from Zhong Yu in the cafeteria, only for Zhong Yu to ignore her and walk away with her tray.
No one knows how passionately they tangle together when they share a room at night.
Just as everyone is convinced they're enemies, Xi Jing is certain that she and Zhong Yu are in love.
She never expected to be the one who'd graduate and immediately get dumped, in a sudden, brutal breakup.

Five years later.
The woman who once left without a second thought has returned, now the untouchable President Zhong.
With Zhong Yu seemingly everywhere, Xi Jing asks impatiently, "Zhong Yu, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"I want to pursue you."
After all these years, Zhong Yu is still as composed as ever. Xi Jing hates her now as much as she once loved her.
"In your dreams."
Xi Jing sneers. "Now that President Zhong has a successful career, she wants love too? What do you take me for?!"
Later.
Xi Jing says calmly, "A lot of people never find love in their entire lives. You and I are no exception."
For the first time, Zhong Yu's expression changes in front of Xi Jing, her face as pale as paper.
