A fiery, avoidant ostrich of a heroine x a tsundere, sensitive-skinned peacock of a hero
01
"You're not one of us."
The young master of Qiao City's prestigious high school said this to the wicked girl from a nouveau riche family, his eyes full of mocking arrogance. He knew perfectly well that the senior she had a crush on was there too.
Years later, the wicked girl fell from the heights of fortune. The once-proud young master, however, had put away all his arrogance. His gaze on her was obsessive and feverish. "I can never let go of your hand. Not in this lifetime. Never."

The biggest mistake Helanze made in the first half of her life was yearning for happiness that wasn't hers.
One such mistake was betraying her benefactor and stealing her crush's boyfriend for the sake of the senior she secretly loved. In the end, she hurt both herself and others, nearly lost her life, and fled back to her hometown like a stray dog.
She thought that if she just buried her head in the sand, she could pretend none of it had ever happened.
But fate clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook.
A scheming junior, a gentle first love, a younger artist, and the rich boy who had looked down on her since high school... One after another, old acquaintances appeared like ghosts, and she realized her comeuppance was far from over.

Cheng Yunsheng had always known exactly what he wanted. Helanze was the one brief, singular exception.
She toyed with his body and trampled on his feelings.
He really shouldn't still be thinking about her.
He should make her pay. He wanted her by his side day and night, repenting for what she'd done.
One day, a lunatic claiming to have transmigrated into a book told him that Helanze was merely the villainess in a campus romance, and that whoever she ended up with, she was doomed to a miserable fate.
He laughed. "Good. I've never been one to believe in fate."
