Ruan Li fell in love at first sight with the gifted math-olympiad teacher at No. 1 High School, who seemed tough on the outside but tender inside, socially awkward, and sweetly innocent. She pursued him openly and discreetly for ages, but he remained completely unmoved, even when he passed the door of her classroom.

Fairy Teacher: -1, Loser: +1
He Qingyan spent ten years fighting in the capital markets, earning a reputation for being domineering, decisive, ruthless, and efficient. But along with his wealth came nerves that were constantly wound tight. After accidentally taking an overdose of sleeping pills three times in a row, he followed his doctor’s advice and found a laid-back middle school where he could teach at an easy pace. The environment was pleasant, his mood relaxed, and he even found himself enjoying waiting for someone to finish class.
His only worry was that she was beautiful and kind to everyone. Was she only so enthusiastic toward him because she was afraid he was... antisocial?
The day He Qingyan prepared to confess to Ruan Li, he received a message from her.
[Mr. He, I can’t control how much I like you, but it seems my feelings have become a burden to you. I’m sorry. Starting today, I’ll transfer to the branch campus and do my best to let go of you and forget you. Goodbye.]
He Qingyan: ...?
