We first met at university. Back then, Chu Shen was outstanding in every way: handsome, wealthy, and the center of everyone's attention. Lu Li was practically his opposite: poor, unattractive, and of little consequence. As for me, I was lucky enough to live under the same roof as these two campus celebrities and witness their relationship as both rivals and friends, enemies and lovers. Chu Ange was clever all his life, but let his guard down once. He meant to target Lu Li, but ended up losing both the battle and the girl. Lu Li was like a stubborn plaster that wouldn't come unstuck. If he wanted something, he would fight for it bit by bit and never give up.
We met again six years after graduation. Chu Shen had completed his studies and returned like a king. He and Lu Li hit it off at once, and started a business with us. The road was full of twists and turns, tears and laughter, bitterness and sweetness, even sacrifice, but thankfully, it all ended well. And through all the storms along the way, none of us remained the same people we had been when we first met.
We wanted to change our lives, but life changed us completely.
