【A seemingly reserved, calm, gentle woman who is actually a straightforward beauty fanatic and lovesick stalker vs. a seemingly aloof, proud, tough man who is actually insecure and obsessive】
Campus | Healing | Reunion After Years Apart | Reconciliation
Blurb One:
Feng Nianchu is a beauty fanatic who only loves faces as pure and natural as “a lotus rising from clear water, unadorned by artifice.”
The school she attends is a combined middle and high school in a newly developed district. Most of the boys in her new high school are ones she already knew from middle school, so they offer nothing new. Many of them also care too much about their appearance, which does nothing for her.
But on the first official day of school, just as she thinks high school will pass by like flowing water, one boy leaves her stunned.
He is so fresh and refined, so pure and natural, that he strikes straight at her heart.
From then on, she deliberately gets close to him, follows him around, and showers him with boundless kindness, only to be coldly rejected again and again.
Eventually, he comes around, and the two agree to attend university together in Huaifu City.
But she breaks her promise and disappears that summer, just after the college entrance exams.
Six years later, she is shopping at a mall with a child when a long-fingered hand grabs her arm from behind. A dark, ghostly voice asks, “We haven’t seen each other in six years, and you already have a child?! Then what am I supposed to be?!”
Blurb Two:
Wen Zhiyan is a top student who got into a high school in a newly developed district from a small town. His family is poor, and his looks and grades are the only advantages he has.
As soon as he arrives at his new school, a lovesick stalker latches onto him.
He always feels out of place among his classmates, so he can only protect himself with a hard, cold exterior.
But the stalker invades his life by every means possible, uncovering the insecurity hidden beneath his haughty mask. Once he gives up resisting, he discovers how wonderful she is and comes to see her as the light of his life.
Later, he falls for her, and they agree to apply to the city she wants to go to together. Then she disappears from his life.
Consumed by intense hatred, he suffers for six years, obsessively trying to find her. At last, one afternoon, he sees her with a child and is instantly consumed by jealousy.
How can she marry and have a child with a clear conscience after abandoning him for six years?!
He strides over and grabs her tightly. Looking at her stunned expression, he secretly delights: This time, he absolutely will not let her go. So what if that makes him the other man? He'll do it!
Reader's Guide:
1. One-on-one romance, devoted to each other, sweet with a little angst, happy ending. The characters aren't perfect and all have flaws.
2. It's a short novel. The child is a misunderstanding, and the male lead is not the other man.
3. They don't define their relationship while they're in school. They only start dating after graduating from university and beginning their careers. No harmful messaging.
4. The heroine doesn't disappear because she did poorly on the college entrance exams, and her studies aren't affected! The male lead's studies aren't affected either! Though the heroine is the one pursuing him, she isn't submissive.
5. The story isn't told entirely through flashbacks. Present-day scenes are interspersed according to the plot, though the school-years storyline makes up most of the novel. Present-day and flashback chapters will be marked in the chapter titles.
6. The blurb is a bit exaggerated, so please bear with it. There are no real-life inspirations, and every detail serves the story.
Message: It begins with beauty, deepens with talent, and lasts through good character.
