Who on Earth Is the Male Lead? (GB)

Li Chengan is the heartthrob of Wanjing No. 1 High School, a rich young master who's arrogant, domineering, and looks down on everyone.

He has a heart condition and can't handle stress, yet he's developed an addiction. He takes care of himself two or three times a day, but his body keeps wanting more. So he sets his sights on the owner of the fruit shop across from his school, an ordinary-looking woman who seems easy to talk to when she smiles.

He thinks: She's pretty and looks clean. I'll trick her into bed, have my fun for a few days, then dump her.

Lin Fengyu, twenty years old, owns a fruit shop. Her arms are muscular, her palms calloused, and she has a harmless smile.

She sees through the pretty high schooler's act at first glance. He thinks he's hiding it well, but his little schemes are as clear as day to her. She doesn't call him out, because he's exactly her type.

She thinks: I've got nothing better to do, so I might as well play along.

But she doesn't expect a bespectacled, refined upperclassman to stop by the fruit shop, too.

Yin Zhengyi is in the computer science department at Wanjing University, and everyone agrees he's easygoing. He's always smiling, always polite, and always beyond reproach.

The first time he passes by the fruit shop, he catches sight of the taut lines of her arms as she unloads a delivery.

He goes back and digs up all the information he can find on her, then shows up at the shop the next morning, right on time.

He says he's only there to buy fruit.

Every word he says is true, but he doesn't tell her the whole truth.

He thinks: There's no need to rush. I have all the patience and time in the world.

One came first, the other came later.

One claimed her heart, the other fit her body.

And she wants them both.
