Poverty-stricken, disillusioned female college student x cruel, dangerously unhinged young master
-
Chen Qingxu works part-time at a convenience store and gets the chance to tutor a young master from Beijing's elite circles.
The young master has just turned eighteen. His grades are average, just enough to get into a non-elite university, but he's exceptionally handsome. His striking, flirtatious eyes always hold a faint smile, and with his good manners, he seems both refined and gentle.
They get along well, but gradually Chen Qingxu begins to feel that something is off.
For instance, during lessons, Lin Luocheng likes to rest his face in his hand. His gaze doesn't land on the test paper, but travels from her slender, pale wrist to her collarbone, then finally settles on her soft, full lips.
For instance, there are strange brushes of skin. The warmth of a young man's body presses against her from behind. His warm palm briefly touches her slender waist, then he steps back to a safe distance and politely tells her to watch where she's going.
After it happens often enough, Chen Qingxu senses a hint of danger. Unsure whether she's just being oversensitive, she can only quietly keep her distance and claim she already has a boyfriend.
Unexpectedly, Lin Luocheng doesn't care at all. In fact, he seems deeply interested.
"Why give you a necklace? Of course it's because your collarbone is so pretty, Teacher."
"Does that count as flirting?"
"Teacher, are you really dating someone?"
"I see. Have you kissed him, Teacher?"
Chen Qingxu nervously makes it through the end of the tutoring sessions and decides to stay far away from Lin Luocheng from then on.
But Lin Luocheng intercepts her pay from his mother, holding it as he drawls, "Teacher, if I get into your university, will you date me once?"
Chen Qingxu is surprised that he really has feelings for her, but for the sake of her pay, she softly agrees. "...Okay."
With his grades, there's no way he'll get in anyway.

When the new semester starts, Chen Qingxu returns to school.
During freshman military training, a handsome new student's photo goes viral across campus, drawing countless curious onlookers to the sports field.
Chen Qingxu isn't interested, but her roommate drags her along. They happen to arrive during a break in the training.
There are lots of people around the field when Chen Qingxu hears a familiar, clear voice:
"Little Teacher."
Chen Qingxu turns around and sees Lin Luocheng in a crisp, neat military uniform, one hand lazily in his pocket and a triumphant smile on his lips.
Her roommate excitedly grabs her hand. "Ahhh, that's the handsome freshman! You know him?"
Chen Qingxu goes rigid, as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over her from head to toe.
How did he get in?!
