If you like it, please add it to your favorites 🥺 It means a lot to me [Heart]

[Resilient, shy, sweet girl x suave, laid-back prodigy]

[Naturally sensitive, frosty-faced cutie x unrestrained, unruly, fake playboy]

Zhou Ying has been quiet and introverted since childhood. She seems gloomy and withdrawn, but in truth, she is simply bad at socializing. Many people think she is strange, aloof, and boring.

Over the years, people have come and gone from her life. Fu Xingluo is her only friend.

Fu Xingluo is easygoing and detached by nature. He is a celebrated prodigy, and he has no shortage of pretty girls pursuing him. His girlfriends come and go, but no one ever gets close to his heart.

The only girl who has stayed by his side all these years is Zhou Ying.

Rumors say she is his childhood sweetheart, the one who is different from everyone else.

But some say that if Fu Xingluo had feelings for Zhou Ying, they would have gotten together long ago.

Zhou Ying stands closer to him than anyone else, but she knows they belong to different worlds.

Fireflies may look a lot like stars, but the distance between them is beyond reach.

Zhou Ying still remembers when she first met Fu Xingluo. His girlfriend was throwing a tantrum and shouting that she wanted to break up.

The tall, long-legged boy stood where he was, slowly lifting his eyes. The corner of his mouth curled up as he replied coolly, "Fine."

When the girl regretted it and tried to take back her words, he walked away without looking back, leaving her crying where she stood. His departing silhouette was cold and heartless.

But years later, when Zhou Ying asked him to break up, Fu Xingluo's languid, half-smiling manner vanished, and his expression changed at once.

His eyes darkened. He gripped her wrist and refused to let go, forcing her into a corner beneath his shadow.

The boy's gaze was deep and dangerous. He raised a hand to grasp her delicate, fragile chin and sneered:

"Break up? Don't even think about it."

Knowing full well that she was flying into a flame, she still lost control and fell deeper, willingly.

You don't have to try to pluck a star. It will fall into your hands of its own accord.

Note:

1. Both are each other's first and only; unrequited love becomes mutual, fake playboy turns devoted, with equal parts bittersweet angst and sweet romance.

2. The male lead is still a first-kiss virgin. From the beginning of the story's timeline, he has no other girlfriends. The female lead only starts to fall for him at this point.

3. The female lead will date a male supporting character first, and she is still a first-kiss virgin.

4. Neither lead is perfect. Both lack love and have complicated relationships with their parents. They save each other.

Early on: unrequited love, shy sweet girl x laid-back fake playboy type.

Later: gloomy, possessive type x doting lover who becomes even more possessive after being asked to break up.

5. They do not date before adulthood or during high school, and there are no intimate scenes.

Theme: Love and beauty are waiting to be discovered.
