Synopsis:

Ji Qinghe returns from studying abroad with nowhere to live, so her friend Zhao Xingfan brings her home as a guest. They happen to run into each other.

Perhaps because she lives alone and has more freedom, Zhao Xingfan privately asks her to look after Ji Qinghe.

She agrees, but ends up looking after her right into her own bed.

For the next two years, in the bedroom, in the car, and in deserted parks, they are as intimate as lovers, yet pretend not to know each other in front of everyone, keeping up their delicate relationship as secret lovers.

Blurb: Blurb:

After being cheated on by her first love, Xi Zhi can't accept being heartlessly cast aside.

To prove her own appeal and get one over on her first love, she sets her sights on Dai Ran, her first love's ideal type.

To seduce Dai Ran, she takes the roundabout route and starts with Dai Ran's boyfriend.

After winning his heart with praise, flattery, and just the right amount of feigned vulnerability, she sells him out without hesitation and confesses her feelings to Dai Ran:

"He already has you, so why isn't he satisfied? If I could be with a girlfriend as perfect as you, I wouldn't look at anyone else for the rest of my life."

Dai Ran believes her.

After starting college, Dai Ran dates a well-matched second-generation heir to appease her family.

But her boyfriend is always nitpicking her work style and the way she dresses.

By comparison, his ambiguous love interest is not only beautiful and gentle, but often looks at her with shining eyes and praises her. So Dai Ran decides to dump the jerk and get together with her instead.

After changing partners, she has someone checking in on her, someone accompanying her to and from class, and someone carefully preparing all kinds of surprises and romantic gestures for her, always making her the center of attention.

She realizes this is the kind of love she wants.

--- But only after truly falling in love does she learn that she was nothing more than a pawn Xi Zhi used to get back at someone else.
