[The prologue is in first person; the main story is in third person]

Blurb One:

During her senior year, Shi Chen was sent to deliver some materials to a neighboring university while working on a project with her advisor.

That day, a post went viral on Q University’s campus forum.

[I saw a girl drag Xu Linqing into the little woods on campus, holy crap! And God Xu didn’t even seem to resist. Is that what he’s into?! If I’d known, I would’ve confessed to him that way too!]

Who was Xu Linqing? A star student in Q University’s computer science department, he’d won every scholarship and award under the sun. Even more impressive was his astonishingly handsome face and cool, distant demeanor.

Everyone in the thread consoled the original poster, saying that even if someone like Xu Linqing, a flower on a high peak, really had been dragged into the woods, it didn’t mean the confession had succeeded.

As for the people involved...

"Have we met before?" Shi Chen thought for a moment.

Xu Linqing, who was said to have made half the girls at Q University swoon, raised an eyebrow.

"Have I," Shi Chen continued, thinking it over, "borrowed a hundred yuan from you?"

Blurb Two:

Xu Linqing later thought that if he’d known lending her a hundred yuan would make her remember him...

Back in high school, he would have gone without meals and given her every last cent, just so she’d remember him for the rest of her life.

His youth was all about her, while she never even noticed him.

A story about a secret crush coming true.

[The starry sky you want, I’ll give you all of it]

[Even when you shine, I’ll still gladly bow to you]
