[Easygoing and detached x Hates evil with a passion]
Not-quite-sisters / Rivals-to-lovers / Six-year age gap
Su Ci and Gao Leyi have a complicated relationship.
Years ago, her aunt fled to Hong Kong Island to escape the turmoil. After many twists and turns, her husband died, leaving behind an illegitimate daughter.
Gao Leyi is that illegitimate daughter, and Su Ci's cousin in name only.
Her parents are getting on in years and like keeping in touch with relatives, so every holiday she has to see that outsider.
To be honest, Su Ci can't stand her.

After graduation, Su Ci failed to get into grad school.
To rescue her devalued degree, her parents had a sudden brainstorm and sent her to study in Hong Kong Island.
They even arranged for her to stay overnight at her enemy's home.
At the time, her roommate was moving out with her luggage. When she saw Su Ci, she asked Gao Leyi in Cantonese:
"Who's this?"
The person smoking on the balcony glanced inside and replied unconcernedly:
"Some relative, I guess."
