Nam Chengyu had always thought of himself as the most boring, stiff bookworm imaginable.
He was the quintessential small-town exam grinder, and only made it to New York on a full scholarship. He spent years wearing glasses and burying himself in the lab, always believing he was practically invisible on campus.
Until one rainy night, when he found Samuel, filthy from head to toe, in the alley behind the school.
The little empathy he had left made Nam Chengyu take him home.
Who could have guessed that the next day, this campus celebrity would insist, with an innocent, harmless look on his face, that they were passionately in love?
Nam Chengyu had wanted to toss this hot potato out, but Samuel was offering far too much.
Not only did he hand over an outrageous amount for living expenses, he also took it upon himself to handle every chore, from cooking to keeping the bed warm.
Nam Chengyu decided to treat it as a tribulation he was being paid to endure.
Samuel had known he was charming for as long as he could remember.
But he had always set his sights high and thought no one was good enough for him, until he met Nam Chengyu.
A sexy, smoking-hot bookworm really exists in this world!
Mom, I'm in love.
Everyone had always regarded Nam Chengyu as an untouchable beauty, but Samuel refused to accept that. He was determined to win him over.
So he staged an elaborate act of being down on his luck and suffering from amnesia, threw money around, and played the obedient sweetheart until he had successfully moved in.
But he wants to devour him every single day!
Camille University has an unofficial campus ranking called the Must-Eat List.
At the top is Nam Chengyu, who has held first place ever since he enrolled. The new second-place student is Samuel.
One is an Asian hot nerd, the other an all-American blond sweetheart.
Though their styles couldn't be more different, they have one thing in common: both are hard to get close to.
Until one day, the whole school was stunned to discover that the two had gotten together.
Seriously, how did you two get so lucky!
