My campus novel, The Only Thing I Long For, is out now. Feel free to check it out~

[Apology: I failed to cite my source for information about “anaerobic respiration.” I apologize here.]

*The published edition, titled My Boyfriend Is a Formula from the Top Student, is now available.

[Blurb]:

The new transfer student, Bei Yingying, is gentle and soft-spoken, a little “softie” anyone can push around.

And she gets assigned to sit beside Yu Han.

Yu Han, the school heartthrob and top student at No. 1 High, is aloof and cold, an intimidating presence.

Everyone says Bei Yingying is only going to get bullied.

One of his buddies asks what he thinks of his new deskmate. Leaning against a limewashed wall, the boy stubs out his cigarette, his expression cold and indifferent. “Like her? Am I crazy?”

Later.

After the New Year's Eve party, the whole class heads out for dinner, only to discover that Yu Han and Bei Yingying are the only ones missing.

Someone says they saw Yu Han drag her off to the lounge, looking furious. A few people rush over to find them, only to see the lounge door half-open in the darkness, with several voices coming from inside:

“How many times have I told you?”

“Twice...”

“If I catch you talking to him a third time, crying won't help.”

Then the lounge door opens. Yu Han steps out in a white shirt with his collar undone, holding a girl with swollen lips and red-rimmed eyes by the hand.

He sees the group standing there, frozen like statues. Frowning, he presses the girl's head against his chest, looks up, and says coldly:

“What the hell are you looking at?”

Everyone: ...

So this is what bullying looks like.

2. Yu Han, the newly risen CEO of a top technology company, supposedly started from nothing and built a fortune worth hundreds of millions.

Once, he took part in a media interview.

The staff working with him were swooning and exclaiming, “This man is so damn cold and celibate. He must be completely uninterested in sex.”

But before the interview began, Bei Yingying, who had been assigned to take photos, was sent to bring Yu Han some water. As she approached him, his voice came through the microphone he had forgotten to turn off: “Honey, if you don't come home and sleep with me tonight, I'll be up all night again.”

Everyone: “...” What do you mean, uninterested in sex?

[A sweet, lovely, soft-hearted heiress who seems easy to bully] x [A possessive, domineering, taciturn “poor” boy/CEO]

Both are each other's first love, and neither has been with anyone else.

University campus | Flirting and push-pull tension | Sweet romance | Dark-hearted prince x radiant girl

-

At eighteen, Yan Jiaxia is the most dazzling heiress in Beijing's elite circles. Raised in luxury, she is beautiful, free-spirited, and beyond anyone's control.

Jiang Huaili, meanwhile, is a poor university student sponsored by the Yan family, an outstanding student who is cool and reserved.

The night they first meet, rain dampens the summer air.

A boy walks Yan Jiaxia home. Beneath the umbrella, their flirtation is hard to make out. Yan Jiaxia casually glances up and sees Jiang Huaili standing on the balcony. She smiles lightly, her foxlike eyes rippling with warmth.

Yan Jiaxia's father tells Jiang Huaili, who is temporarily staying with the family, “When you have time, help me keep Xiaxia in line.”

He answers softly and politely. Yan Jiaxia looks up and sees the boy's tall, lean frame, his deep, calm brown eyes, and the black mole on his Adam's apple shifting as he swallows. His aura is as cool and distant as the moon.

He's handsome, but looks like a bookworm.

Who knows what he's like when no one's watching...

Intrigued, Yan Jiaxia starts teasing him and ordering him around for fun. He warms milk for her, wakes her up, skips class to buy her medicine, and repeatedly fixes the computer she breaks, yet always respects the boundaries and never takes things a step further.

The heiress gets bored and gives up, no longer paying him any attention. Soon, she's surrounded by other boys again. But one night, when she returns from a bar after midnight, a hand pulls her behind a door.

Jiang Huaili's lips press into a straight line, his eyes dark and intense. “Is that another new boyfriend tonight?”

Her cheeks are flushed with drink, and her delicate brows curve as she smiles.

“What's the matter, jealous? Are you better than him?”

The boy looks at her for a few seconds. The desire he'd kept buried finally breaks free, and he answers in a hoarse voice, “Then let's find out.”

She never expected that trying to seduce him would leave her caught in his trap. Yan Jiaxia is pulled into the room.

From then on, her almond-shaped eyes are tinged red, and he leaves her thoroughly subdued.

-

Jiang Huaili is a top computer science student at Qinghua University, admitted through a special recommendation. Gifted at algorithms, he is cool, quiet, and distant, a lofty flower many girls find impossible to approach.

Yan Jiaxia is a top student at Qinghua's School of Fine Arts. She has studied dance since childhood and is naturally striking and radiant, a goddess many boys dream of but could never hope to win.

No one ever imagined the two of them would have anything to do with each other.

Then came the university New Year's Eve party, where students from every department gathered. Yan Jiaxia's dance stunned the crowd, and after the event, the boys bringing her flowers followed her backstage.

People come to offer their congratulations and go looking for her. They push open the partly closed lounge door and see, under the dim lights, Jiang, the top student who never gets close to women and is always so cold, holding Yan Jiaxia captive in his arms. He grips the back of her neck and bends down to kiss her passionately.

The boy's tall frame almost completely envelops her. His voice is breathless, burning, and low with jealousy he can no longer contain. “Baby, who said you could tell me you like me and then accept flowers from someone else?”

Everyone: “??!!!”

That night, after they are caught, Jiang Huaili wraps an arm around the girl in his embrace. Facing the gossip swirling around them and the displeased looks of his rivals, he declares his claim without hesitation:

“Yan Jiaxia is my girlfriend.”

True love begins with losing control, with a fall that cannot be stopped.

She tears away his facade, only to find a love as fierce as fire beneath it.

Tips:

1. Both leads are each other's first sexual partner. The heroine has a brief, disposable boyfriend at the start. Please skip this if it bothers you~

2. The hero is full of contrasts: cold on the outside, overflowing with sex appeal. He falls head over heels for the heroine right from the start and indulges and spoils her in every way~

3. The heroine never loses her fortune. She stays radiant and glamorous from beginning to end. The hero climbs the social ladder and becomes wealthy, but will always be her knight, an exceptionally devoted puppy type!

4. Sweet romance, sweet romance, incredibly sweet!!!

4. Part of the same series as Silent Passion and The Secret Marriage Contract, with crossover appearances.

Theme: A love that helps both people heal and grow
