She can’t stand her stepsister. After careful consideration, Wu Qingxue decides to go after her boyfriend.
According to the rumors, Cheng Qiaoyuan is a brilliant student, handsome and refined, but aloof and distant, and very hard to approach. She prepares to play the long game.
But after trying it herself, Wu Qingxue thinks the rumors are way off.
They’ve been seeing each other for less than three months when, on a snowy night, he shields her from the biting wind with his umbrella and confesses his feelings: “Qingxue, I really like you. Will you officially be my girlfriend?”
Keeping her expression calm, she tilts her head and smiles with foxlike cunning. “My family is strict, Senior. You’ll have to get past my father first.”
Her father believes in family harmony. Once she brings the matter to his attention, nobody will need to keep up their masks. The ensuing chaos will be immensely satisfying.

For Cheng Qiaoyuan, meeting Wu Qingxue again was a wonderful twist of fate.
It was the first time in his life he had pursued someone. He was careful and restrained, afraid of doing anything she might dislike.
Though things moved too quickly, a few days after confessing, he still went to visit her family.
The truth came out. All their sweet moments had been lies she carefully spun.
Beneath a ginkgo tree, his fingers trembling with anger, he turned the question over in his mind before finally asking, “Did you ever have feelings for me, even for a moment, in these three months?”
An endless silence fell with the snow.

He had poured his sincere heart into a dog.
Cheng Qiaoyuan decisively chose to leave the past behind.
A little over a month later, after a few drinks, he returned home in a daze. In the empty, silent hallway, he thought he heard her call him Senior. Thankfully, the door was closed, and no knock followed.
But while he was taking a shower, a beautiful little liar appeared in his entryway.
She must have come barging back into his world because she liked him.
Thinking so, he magnanimously decided to give her another chance.

Reader notes:
1. Happy ending, both are virgins, focused on romantic tension.
2. The male lead never dated the stepsister; this is a misunderstanding from the heroine’s point of view.
3. The characters are imperfect. Readers with strong moral standards should proceed with caution.
