Blurb: *Tsundere, arrogant top student x sweet-voiced, chatty little sunshine

*Mutual crush, sweet school romance

Liang Muting is the famously aloof and proud top student of his year, a lofty flower on a high peak who never gives anyone a second thought.

Until the high school entrance exam, when someone else took first place.

No one knew he'd held a grudge over it for three years.

Later, on the day freshman military training ended, he ran into Gu Ximeng, the girl from his middle school class whose name he'd never remembered, yet who had beaten him on the high school entrance exam.

For the first time in his life, Liang Muting found something he wanted.

He wanted to beat Gu Ximeng.

Just as everyone waited to see how he'd win back the top spot, he sat in a Ferris wheel singing "Cola Ring" as he confessed his love.

No one could have guessed that Gu Ximeng would be the rumored girl involved.

New story "Moon Entwined in Mist"

1. In high school, Lu Jinyue was a well-behaved student who followed the rules and went unnoticed.

Her only act of rebellion was sneaking away to a temple during a school outing to ask whether her crush would ever return her feelings.

Before she could finish, Lin Qiheng, a boy from her class, caught her.

Lin Qiheng was handsome, brilliant, and from an excellent family.

Though easygoing and approachable, he was a heavenly favorite she didn't dare get close to.

On top of that, he was the younger brother of the person she had a crush on.

But he approached her first, his gentle smile especially bewitching.

Caught in his beautiful eyes, she heard him ask, "You like him. Want me to help you?"

Lu Jinyue looked up at the boy standing so close and, for some reason, nodded.

2. Lin Qiheng had never known love or warmth, and was used to keeping his true feelings hidden.

He deliberately approached Lu Jinyue, never expecting to grow greedy for her affection.

After learning that his brother and Lu Jinyue had mutual feelings for each other, he stopped Lin Yiyun from confessing and told him, "I'm sorry. She's in love with me."

In the end, Lin Qiheng got what he wanted and became her boyfriend.

They promised to stay together forever, but she was the one who asked to break up.

3. Years later, Lin Yiyun and Lu Jinyue meet again and unexpectedly decide to get engaged.

When Lin Qiheng hears the news, he's in the middle of holding a charity art exhibition and rushes straight over.

By then, Lu Jinyue is already a little drunk and heading down a quiet, empty hallway.

Lin Qiheng puts an arm around her as she stumbles, but she pushes him away.

He bends toward her slightly, his warm breath curling around her neck as if he means to kiss her.

"You think it's all over, don't you? But for me, it's only just begun."

Lu Jinyue's breathing turns unsteady.

[He promised to be with her forever. Now he's come to make good on that promise.]
