When T University heartthrob Yan Chi first met his nominal fiancée, Si Qiuhuai, he once declared in public:

"Even if every other woman in the world died, even if I stayed single for the rest of my life, I, Yan Chi, would never marry her."

Years later, T University held an interview with its distinguished alumni. Over the phone, a young reporter brought up the incident and asked, "And what happened after that, Senior Yan?"

There was a commotion on the other end, then CEO Yan's deep voice came through:

"After that... I quietly got out the washboard and knelt on it."

1.

A new boy transfers to a county high school.

He's handsome, cool, and distinguished, and he ranks first in his year every time.

Seeing Jiang Chi wear the same white shirt all the time, Shi Jiang assumes he's poor.

As his neighbor, she naturally makes sure to look after him.

Who knew that, before long, she'd end up looking after him with her first kiss?

Only after Shi Jiang is called to the principal's office does she learn that Jiang Chi's father is the county magistrate, seconded to the area.

"You're a good student. But people have always said that a marriage should match in status, and your family..."

Shi Jiang feels humiliated in front of everyone.

Looking at the boy standing beside her, his eyes lowered and silent, she understands.

So she isn't good enough for him.

2.

More than ten years later, Shi Jiang becomes T University's youngest and most beautiful associate professor.

What's more, she has a foot in both academia and business.

City leaders compete to bring her company's team to their cities, hoping to attract investment.

At a banquet during an international academic conference,

Shi Jiang wears a wine-red evening gown with bare shoulders. Her skin is fair, and she is as haughty and elegant as a swan.

Amid the clinking glasses, just as she's getting tipsy, a cool-looking man in a sharp suit puts an arm around her waist.

A foreign colleague quietly asks what she is to the handsome young politician.

Shi Jiang's eyes glisten as she studies Jiang Chi for a moment, then swirls her champagne and slips away.

She smiles nonchalantly, parting her red lips to say:

"Just an ex-boyfriend."

3.

Her best friend says that, in theory, a university professor can be matched with a man of any status.

Shi Jiang props her chin on her hand. "You mean I can find someone better?"

Jiang Chi tightens his arm around her waist and murmurs hoarsely in her ear, "A Jiang, don't even think about it."

Reader's Guide:

1. One-on-one, happy ending.

2. A second-chance romance, with flashbacks to their first love.
