Qiao Wanqing is beautiful and fair-skinned, weighs 50 kg, and is 168 cm tall. She has a visible six-pack from skipping breakfast.
She's broke, and her family is poor. Her father is a gambling addict, her mother is unfaithful, and the best they can do is not bleed her dry.
At least she's pretty, so everyone's willing to spend money on her. The owner of the restaurant by the school gate gives her an extra-large plate of egg fried rice; a motorbike driver brakes right outside her home and leaves only reluctantly; her roommate in their shared apartment stays up at night to do her laundry...
All right, all right. Qiao Wanqing knows it's all small favors.
But so what? She's young and pretty.
Being young means she can take the pressure, and being pretty means she has plenty of opportunities.
Take Li Kongyi, the famous heartthrob from the school next door.
Rumor has it he's from a wealthy family, elegant and noble, with countless admirers... In short, he's rich, handsome, and powerful.
She needs a man like that to cover her tuition and living expenses for the next few years, ward off all the delusional toads, and give her a little vanity boost.
But Qiao Wanqing hadn't expected Li Kongyi to be not only broke, but sick, too.

Qiao Wanqing angrily yanked away the white shirt beneath her. It was covered in dark, damp marks. Lying on a bed made by pushing two single beds together, she snapped, "Stop spending money on me. Save it to pay for your own medical bills!"
That was when Li Kongyi dragged her back home after Qiao Wanqing asked to break up for the first time.
Li Kongyi wasn't fazed. With his damp hair hanging down, he casually lifted her leg, propped it on her white skirt, and lowered his head to get on with it without a word.
He knew the outside world had all sorts of theories about him. He hated this looks-obsessed world, because it dismissed all his hard work.
That was until Qiao Wanqing came along. She said she loved his exceptional intelligence, his thoughtful care, his excellent character, and how focused he was when editing papers.
Qiao Wanqing understood him. He planned to marry her.
Sure, she wasn't very smart, and she was always cynically convinced that the world treated her unfairly.
But he had a bright future ahead of him, and he could afford to pamper her.
Well... He liked keeping this wicked woman who was always making all sorts of demands on him.
Insult him? No problem.
Hit him? That was fine, too.
After all, he was sick, and now that she'd seen it, she had to take responsibility.
