Devoted to the point of obsession, warm on the surface but gloomy underneath, a social enchantress and top student x a forceful, sharp-tongued beauty of a department head with avoidant attachment
"The spotlight fell on me, illuminating the days when you walked beside me in obscurity."
The story begins with a huge fight between them.
Afterward, Jiang Huailin, still seething with anger, has a strange dream... From then on, she is forced to keep an eye on the cold, rigid head of student affairs.
At first, her interactions with this person amount to nothing more than her own one-sided pranks.
Jiang Huailin never imagines that this person will become the only anchor she can breathe by in a world that feels nothing like home.
Then she catches Jin Ruilian caught up in a storm of workplace bullying, and the indomitable image she had of her finally crumbles in Jiang Huailin's eyes. She cries.
In the end, Jiang Huailin faces down every misunderstanding surrounding her with nothing but her courage, standing in front of her and putting everything right.
From that day on, it is as if they become co-conspirators.
Jin Ruilian gives her a desk, a breakfast she made with her own hands, the words "You should become a diplomat," and countless silent days and nights when she catches every one of Jiang Huailin's breakdowns.
Jiang Huailin gives her a stuffed sheep, a few letters, several songs she has practiced countless times, and her soul.
She stakes all her burning love, obsessive hatred, desperate struggle to survive, and fierce resolve to die on this woman. To Jiang Huailin, Jin Ruilian's very existence is one of the greatest blessings of her life.
"I hate that I can't turn her into someone worthy of my love, but I love her all the same."
