Synopsis:

The once well-behaved and sensible young master, Gu Yao, was kicked out of the Gu family.

It turned out he was a fake. For over a decade, the family had cared for him only because of his blood ties to the Gu family, not because of who he was.

At twenty-two, after enduring the darkest, hardest time of his life, Gu Yao died alone at home and returned to the summer when he was sixteen.

Back then, he was still the beloved young master, a heaven-blessed favorite.

To hell with being heaven-blessed!

After being Reborn, Gu Yao knew that being well-behaved and sensible was useless. He flung the paternity test results in the Gu family's faces and moved out, going from obedient to unruly.

He smoked, drank, picked fights, and got tattoos. He'd live as brazenly and swaggeringly as he pleased. He was going to be the baddest kid on the block!

Gu Yao discovered that he had a strange neighbor across the hall in his new home. The neighbor was about his age, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and came and went at odd hours. The first time he saw Gu Yao, who was scowling and icy, he greeted him enthusiastically. He was handsome, but his smile somehow looked awkward.

One night, the neighbor came home looking grimy and disheveled, and happened to run into Gu Yao.

Unable to hold back, Gu Yao asked, "What were you out doing?"

The neighbor replied, "Buying exam prep books."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger fell out of his pocket.

The neighbor thought for a moment and explained, "Oh, I was haggling."

Xu Qing, a former school bully, noticed that his new neighbor across the hall had put on his temporary tattoo crookedly, then come to show off his new tattoo.

Later, he happened to pass an alley near the school and saw the kid next door swagger up to a bunch of gangsters and crook his finger at them. "I'll pay you, but when you leave, tell everyone I beat you."

A sweet, clever student who pretends to be bad on the bottom VS a big-shot school bully who pretends to be good on top. A very sweet one-on-one romance.
