A Thousand Ways to Be Good to You

1. Su Hao is the undisputed queen of Nan Zhong, arrogant and domineering, with everyone at her beck and call. Xu Lie is Nan Zhong's most famous top student, proper and self-controlled, pure and unsullied. When the queen falls for the top student, everyone assumes it's a story about a seductress tempting a scholar. But one day, when Su Hao is chased by thugs, she runs for her life and crouches in a narrow alley by a bar, crying and calling for her dad. Xu Lie, who just happens to be passing by, sighs, rolls up his sleeves, and takes down the whole crowd in thirty seconds. From then on, two jokes circulate around Nan Zhong: Su Hao, the domineering queen, and Xu Lie, the pure and unsullied top student. And one scandalous rumor: after Xu Lie rescued her that night, he apparently carried Su Hao home and made her call him Dad? 2. On the day Su Hao goes from the bottom of the class to near the top, she messages Xu Lie: “Can I be your girlfriend now?” Xu Lie, busy working through practice problems, finds a moment to send a voice message: “No.” But he presses the “hold to talk” button a beat too late, so it only records the last two characters. Overjoyed and moved to tears, Su Hao starts making heart-shaped lunch boxes for her boyfriend and throwing herself into his arms every day. Xu Lie remains unmoved. Half a month later, Su Hao snaps: “I've been your girlfriend for ages. Do I not even deserve to hold your hand?” Xu Lie slowly replies: “?” They scroll through their chat history, and the truth comes out: I thought we were dating, while you thought I was stalking you? Su Hao: “Starting right now, we're breaking up. I'm out.” Xu Lie: “...” “Come back.” A chuunibyou girl who pretends to be a big shot × a truly formidable, brooding guy who keeps wondering whether he should cure her with some shameless flirting *Blurb archived on August 27, 2019.
