The transfer student was gorgeous, but unfortunately rather aloof. Cold and solitary, he spent all day with his headphones in, keeping to himself. She heard that the transfer student liked sweet, well-behaved girls. The next day, Tian Jiu took out her earrings, tied up her long hair, and changed into a neat, proper school uniform. She openly flirted with him and secretly doted on him. She pursued him from high school through college, then accidentally learned that Rui Yang had an undying "moonlight" in his heart. Heartbroken, she finally made up her mind. She drank to drown her sorrows, then, tipsy, went to pound on his door and shouted, "Rui Yang, you jerk! I don't want to like you anymore!" * Rui Yang, the undisputed number-one campus heartthrob, was a flower on a high peak. He kept everyone at a distance, wanting nothing and needing nothing. Wanting nothing and needing nothing? That was what Rui Yang had thought, too, when he heard others describe him that way. After transferring schools, he met a very special girl. Warm and bright, she stirred up ripples in the stagnant waters of his life. Before he knew it, he had grown used to having her by his side, only to watch her fall into someone else's arms. The other guy provoked him, making it clear that he wanted to compete fairly. For the first time, this stirred the desire he had kept buried for so long. He wanted her. #She pursues him + love rivals, from campus to the altar# #At first, she really did fall for his face (￣~￣)Y# Pretends to be sweet and obedient vs. genuinely world-weary * Those who live apart from others are either beasts or gods. - Aristotle Next up: "Luring Him In" ↓ Please add it to your favorites (*^ω^*) Lu Ranran has always known what she wants. Even when her relatives stole all her family fortune and left her with nowhere to go, she could still think clearly and plan her next move. She heard that the stunning young man she had spotted in the crowd was the sole heir to the Qian family. With a clever little play of suffering, she grabbed hold of him in the pouring rain. One "Big Brother" bought her ten years by his side. In the eyes of outsiders, after ten years together, she was the one who had married above her station. And she had grown numb to his countless acts of kindness, taking them for granted. A relationship between giver and receiver was unequal from the start. After careful planning, Lu Ranran finally waited until the day her "wings had grown strong." She decisively proposed a "breakup," ending their ill-defined, twisted arrangement. She had seen the light: building a career was far better than chasing an uncertain love. She had moved on, but he seemed unable to do the same. * Qian Xun, a legend in the industry, was abandoned by the mistress he had raised himself. When someone deliberately mentioned "Lu Ranran" in front of him, he showed no reaction. Everyone said Qian Xun was cold-hearted and probably didn't care about an insignificant woman like her. Perhaps even Qian Xun himself hadn't expected the name "Lu Ranran" to become a knife, carving into his chest again and again. Only a few days after their breakup, he was already regretting it. In the center of the dance floor, her red dress swirled around her. She was dazzling. "Mr. Qian, back with us?" He didn't come to his senses. He reached out to put an arm around her slender waist, but she refused to indulge him and deftly dodged. The edge of her skirt brushed his fingers. She looked back and smiled, lingering in his heart.
