*The heroine wins back her ex, sweet romance, not a competitive sports story!

Both her parents died, and Zhimian grew up alone. Then she met a headstrong, unruly boy who became the only light in her life.

He took her home, and they fell in love. But all her love earned her was his telling his friends, "Having a cat around is pretty fun."

On a stormy night, she dragged her suitcase away.

When she first left, a friend asked about her, and the boy replied carelessly, "She's just throwing a tantrum. She'll be back in a few days."

He never imagined she wouldn't come back.

Duan Zhuo is the captain of a team in a certain survival sport. Everyone knows about the tattoo of the letters "ZM" on his right wrist.

When a friend asks if it means anything special, he falls silent, then gives a self-mocking smile.

"The person I love most."

"But I lost her."

Then someone spots him at Zhimian's comic exhibition. Everyone understands, but when asked about Zhimian, she only smiles faintly. "I don't know Mr. Duan. Maybe ZM is the name of a cat he used to have."

That night, Duan Zhuo corners Zhimian beside a car. His eyes are dark and bloodshot as he tries to hold her back. "Jiu'er, come home with me."

Zhimian steps back and looks at him, her expression calm. "I haven't had a home for a long time."

A few days after Duan Zhuo's team wins the world championship, reporters photograph him at a shopping mall, holding hands with a girl with glossy black hair and red lips.

The girl takes a bite of her ice cream. He kisses her, his sharp features full of tenderness and affection.

That night, the trending topics explode. Duan Zhuo changes his pinned post:

"In this life, I've kissed two things: a gun and you. The first is my dream, and you are my faith. @Zhimian"

--- Best Friend's Novel: Tempting ---

[Blurb]: Pei Chen, the top student and school heartthrob at Lincheng No. 1 High School, has fair skin and cool eyes. He's reserved and aloof to the extreme, comes from a poor family, and cares about nothing but his studies.

Liang Zhiyi, whose family background is worlds apart from his, is a beloved heiress from a prominent family. With glossy black hair and red lips, she's dazzling and willful. As soon as she arrives at school, she pursues him enthusiastically.

But the boy remains unmoved, as cold as ice. Everyone privately says Pei Chen has a strong backbone and won't give in no matter how persistently she chases him.

Hearing this, Liang Zhiyi props her chin on her hand, her eyes curving into a smile. "He'll only ever like me."

-

A wealthy young man suddenly appears by Liang Zhiyi's side, and rumors spread around school that they're made for each other.

On the night after the college entrance exams, Liang Zhiyi and Pei Chen walk down an empty alley. The girl hooks a finger into the hem of his shirt and smiles slyly. "He Ming confessed to me today. If you don't like me, I'll get together with him."

The boy's jaw tightens. He lowers his eyes and says nothing.

Thinking he's reacting as he always does, the girl turns to leave. Then he grips her wrist, and a feather-light kiss lands on the corner of her lips.

Pei Chen looks at her, his dark eyes burning, his voice restrained and controlled. "Can you please not say yes to him?"

-

Later, Pei Chen becomes a tech tycoon worth over a hundred million, and gives Liang Zhiyi an incredibly romantic, lavish wedding.

After they marry, she happens to find the diary he once kept. The writing is blurred:

"If I came from a wealthy family, I would kiss her without restraint, part her lips, and lose myself in her."

His coolness back then wasn't because he felt nothing. It was because you stood so high above me, while I was low and unworthy.

[A dazzling, willful heiress who's a master at flirting] and [a restrained, devoted, outwardly cold but warm-hearted poor student]

Theme: Everyone deserves to be loved
