1. A new boy transfers to a county high school.

He is exceptionally handsome, aloof and distinguished, and ranks first in his grade every time.

Shi Jiang notices that Jiang Chi always wears the same white shirt, and assumes he's poor.

As his neighbor, of course she should look after him.

Who knew that after one thing led to another, she'd end up being called to the principal's office for looking after him?

2.

Shi Jiang is a girl from the mountains.

For the first decade or so of her life, she had never gone farther than that mountain.

On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony after the college entrance exams, Shi Jiang takes her admission letter from T University and goes to find Jiang Chi.

Only then does she learn that the boy who made a promise to her comes from a distant metropolis, where he has always lived in comfort and privilege.

Between them... there is a world of difference.

His father gives her, fresh out of her ivory tower, a lesson she won't forget.
