Lu Jiangli always thought his new transfer-student desk mate was a model student through and through.

After all, Gu Jing was only 158 centimeters tall, pretty and well-behaved, and spoke in a soft, gentle voice. Anyone would think she was a little crybaby who'd burst into tears if you so much as picked on her.

Until that day.

On his way home after school, Lu Jiangli saw Gu Jing being cornered by a group of people in a narrow alley.

Thinking of the soft little girl's usual demeanor, and out of basic human decency toward his desk mate, Lu Jiangli decided to go save her.

Before he could get close, he heard Gu Jing say in a soft voice, “Don't come any closer, ”

The other party burst out laughing.

A few seconds later.

Gu Jing glanced at the people lying on the ground and clasped her hands together.

She sighed, looking both innocent and sincere. “I told you not to come any closer. Why wouldn't you listen?”

Then she looked up and met the eyes of Lu Jiangli, who had witnessed the whole thing.

Lu Jiangli: “…”

Was she going to have to kill him to keep him quiet?

#I thought my desk mate was a soft little girl, but it turns out she's a big bad boss. What do I do? Help, anyone online?

Lu Jiangli has only ever lost two bets in his life.

The first was a thumb-wrestling match with Gu Jing. He lost a month's worth of snacks.

The other was when a buddy joked, “You don't have a crush on your desk mate, do you?”

He casually replied, “N-o w-a-y.”

What he lost was the rest of his life.

“I fear no taboos, I can take on a thousand foes, and I like you so much.”

The heroine is a sweet, violent girl who's innocent on the surface but sly underneath. The hero is a gentle, cool guy who's sly on the surface but sweet underneath.

Jing is the strongest person in the world. That's a law of this novel's universe, and it's beyond question (x).

This should be a goofy campus rom-com (.
