Money-loving, sweet girl x aloof, scheming man
Secret crush from the male lead | Deliberate approach | Roommate trope | Secret identity revealed
While working a part-time job, Fang Zhixia got a one-week gym pass. In keeping with the traditional virtue of not letting things go to waste, she decided to use it.
The gym was packed that evening. At just five foot three, she accidentally bumped into someone before she could watch where she was going.
Her cheek bounced off a chest that was both soft and firm. Still dazed, she got bumped again, burying her whole face in it.
"I'm so sorry!"
Red-faced, she apologized. When she looked up, she saw a cold, expressionless face.
"It's fine," Lin Sun said calmly, lowering his eyes.
Fang Zhixia: "..."
He was fine, but she wasn't!
Wasn't this her high school classmate, her sworn enemy from back then?!

Fang Zhixia had hated Lin Sun in high school. He was taciturn, always at the top of the class, and effortlessly came first on every exam, leaving her in second place. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't surpass him.
He was a total natural, making all her hard work look like a joke. More importantly, if she wasn't first, no one would buy her study notes, and she'd make less money. Ugh, how infuriating!
So at the celebration party after the college entrance exam, Fang Zhixia deliberately kissed him to get under his skin and win a bet.

Lin Sun had been in love with Fang Zhixia throughout his entire youth.
But even after they moved in together, he never expected her to have absolutely no interest in him, with her eyes focused entirely on money.
When she saw him cooking in an apron with his shirt off, she frowned in displeasure.
"Tsk. Being improperly dressed is an eyesore. That's a 200-yuan fine."
He was doing push-ups in the living room and blocking her way, so she kicked him.
"Ow. Don't block the way. Your sweat's dripping on the floor. Mop it up, and that's another 200-yuan fine."
Even when he pretended to be drunk and deliberately fell asleep in her room, she still remained unmoved.
"Let's see, there's the cost of washing the sheets and the fee for invading my privacy. You owe me 2,000 yuan altogether."
Lin Sun: "..."
His teeth practically ground together as he gave a cold laugh.
"I'm not paying."
Fang Zhixia instantly sprang up to argue, but the next moment he had her pinned against the wall behind the door.
Lin Sun's eyes were dark and bright as he stared at her, coaxing and tempting her at once.
"I don't have any money, but I do have myself. You can have me."
[Please Note]
1. The male lead is rich and only pretending to be poor. Don't ask why he doesn't just shower her with money. Would love gained that way really last? (Though I have a feeling our girl would definitely say yes, haha.)
2. The female lead isn't completely uninterested. She just doesn't think of him that way and believes he's a shameless flirt who doesn't behave like a gentleman.
3. The high school chapters contain no inappropriate behavior involving minors. The leads are both adults during intimate scenes.
4. A light, sweet romance. One-on-one, single-couple.
5. The first version of this blurb was completed on July 5, 2026. Please don't plagiarize. I'll add more if I think of anything else.
Theme: Exercise is good for your physical and mental health.
