The story begins March 1!
A confident, sunny little ball of energy x a gloomy, obsessive, aloof and alluring Gu King
Before meeting Chu Qingyun, Ji Nian lived freely and loved without a care.
After meeting Chu Qingyun, she regretted everything and just wanted to bash her head in.
Ji Nian, the “study machine” in the eyes of her teachers and classmates, met Chu Qingyun, a cool and aloof engineering student who fell for her at first sight, in the most ordinary political theory class of her sophomore year.
Looking at the boy before her, with fair skin, striking good looks, and a blank expression, she thought: Th-this, this is exactly my type!
So she launched an all-out pursuit:
“Hi, sorry to bother you. I saw that you're a computer science major. Would you be interested in joining our group presentation? I thought we could discuss and consider the topic from the perspectives of two different majors~”
“No.”
Ji Nian didn't give up:
“Your group is amazing! You know so much. Could you send me a copy of your PowerPoint? I'd love to read it.”
“Fine. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me.”
Ji Nian was over the moon. He might not say much, he might be cold to everyone, and he might always carry a strange box, but none of that would shake her determination to win him over!
After that, she joined him in fieldwork, helped him with his studies, and “protected him with her life” when they faced danger, taking care of him at every turn.
Watching the ice in his eyes gradually melt, seeing his heart fill with thoughts of her alone, and watching him willingly bend his proud back for her, Ji Nian knew:
She'd done it.
But then everything changed.
Ji Nian realized that her memories often became jumbled and her chest felt tight. Especially at night, she had the same unspeakable dream for days on end. In it was someone with fair skin and a tender-looking red beauty mark at the corner of his eye.
In a stilt house among lush bamboo, Chu Qingyun knelt on the bed, his throat constricted with painful pleasure. His voice was low and broken, an alluring, ghostly whisper:
“Niannian, I love you.”
!
Terrified, Ji Nian ruthlessly abandoned Chu Qingyun, whose origins were a mystery.
Fate played its tricks, and when they met again, she saw the young man dressed in finery, his silver ornaments gleaming so brightly they hurt her eyes. A pitch-black centipede slowly emerged from beneath the navy lapel of his robe.
He stroked his “pet” with an easy expression, his eyes full of menace. His red lips parted slightly: “Ji Nian, you've been naughty.”
If she was naughty, she would have to be punished.

2. The hero is gloomy and obsessive! Proceed with caution if that's not your thing.
