The Heir's Exclusive College Boy

In a single night, Wen Chengyue lost both her parents. Before the eighteen-year-old could even emerge from her grief, she was thrust into the position of chairwoman.

Before her lay a family business on the brink of collapse. Behind her lurked a half-brother, born out of wedlock, watching her like a hawk.

Just stepping into the adult world, Wen Chengyue could only grit her teeth and struggle forward, relying on herself every step of the way.

In her spare time, a friend told her, "You're so rich. Why not sponsor a college guy?"

It was just an offhand joke, but she never expected a boy in a white shirt, with a clean-cut, handsome face, to show up and ask, "If you're going to sponsor someone, could it be me?"

His eyes were moist as he looked down, a book on linear algebra tucked under his arm. He looked just like a poor, pitiful puppy.

Wen Chengyue was impressed by his attitude. Especially when she saw that, despite being washed nearly white, his clothes were still spotless, she opened her phone with interest and held it out to him. "Add me."

After they exchanged contact information, Wen Chengyue turned him down without a second thought. It had been nothing more than a joke between friends, until she saw Jiang Xubai's younger sister receiving dialysis at the hospital with her own eyes.

She sighed and agreed. Strangely, he refused to accept any extra money from her.

At first, Wen Chengyue thought Jiang Xubai was just a poor college student. She would support him, and he would provide her with emotional comfort.

But whenever she came home dead drunk after a business dinner, it was Jiang Xubai who carried her home, thoughtfully prepared hangover soup, and carefully removed her makeup.

When she was exhausted from clashing with her negotiating opponents, he would gently take her hand and say in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'm here."

He could always see her vulnerability, yet never crossed the line.

Until one day, she happened to find an old, yellowed photograph in his wallet. It was a picture of her at fourteen.

She was smiling brilliantly, her face radiant.

Wen Chengyue stared at him and demanded, "Why do you have a picture of me?"

Jiang Xubai looked at her with burning eyes, his throat bobbing. "I came here for you. I always have."

Even if she didn't remember once helping a little boy who had endured loneliness and bullying in an orphanage.

Even if he was nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in her world.

To him, she was the most dazzling presence of all.

The one and only light he would pursue with all his strength, no matter how many twists and turns he had to endure.

[Strong female lead. The male lead appears in chapter three, and the romance takes center stage after that.]
