An Luo has a secret she would rather die than admit.
She once had a crush on the boy next door. He was perfect in every way, except that he was such a little jerk and was always teasing her.
Years later, An Luo runs into Shen Lancang again. He's now a famous author with countless fans, but he's still a little jerk, bullying her every day as if he'd die if he didn't.
Word has it that Shen Lancang published a novel called Secret Crush, claiming it was based on his own experiences and recalling the awkward, youthful days of being seventeen.
An Luo secretly read the masterpiece.
...Why does the heroine seem a little like her?
-
"I, An Luo, would rather starve, die of thirst, or die poor than get together with that bastard Shen Lancang!"
Famous last words.
