Just after Sang Ling got into college, her family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Their only hope was an arranged marriage with the Chi family.
Though it had been years since she'd last seen him, Sang Ling still remembered the Chi family's eldest son, Chi Yu.
As a child, Chi Yu had been so fat that even walking was difficult. He had no friends and was constantly bullied. Only the honest Sang Ling never minded his size and always played with him.
But playing together was one thing. Sang Ling wasn't willing to marry him!
Knowing the Chi family had strict rules, she gave herself a rebellious smoky-eye look and went to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.
There was a huge fat guy in the restaurant, along with an elegant, handsome young man in a white shirt.
Sang Ling plopped down across from the fat guy, crossed her legs, and pulled out a cigarette with a swagger. "Brother Chi Yu, long time no see. Want one?"
The chubby guy looked utterly bewildered.
Just then, the handsome boy in the white shirt beside him gave a chuckle and stood up. "Little Sang Ling, I'm Chi Yu."
Blushing with embarrassment, Sang Ling awkwardly switched seats, stunned by Chi Yu's unbelievably good looks.
The chubby kid from her childhood had turned into a gorgeous swan!
He was so handsome it made her swoon!
Chi Yu looked at her with fondness and deliberately asked, "Have you ever been to school, little sister? What do you usually smoke?"
Though she regretted it deeply...she'd already committed to the act.
Sang Ling could only grit her teeth and say:
"I barely got my high school diploma."
"Usually Marlboro, and sometimes Yellow Crane Tower when I feel like it."
Then she asked him, "Do you have a type, big brother?"
Chi Yu answered without hesitation: "I've always had a thing for rebellious girls."
Sang Ling: ?
Chi Yu and Sang Ling were both under the legal age for marriage, but to comfort Chi Yu's seriously ill grandfather, the Chi family held a banquet and arranged their engagement early.
Chi Yu was exceptionally handsome and brilliant, a flower on a lofty peak who never said more than a word or two to girls.
Only Sang Ling knew how clingy he was in private.
When they happened to meet, Chi Yu would corner her in an empty stairwell, kiss her, then call her "wife" in a breathy voice.
Cool, tough guy vs. goofy girl
