First Spark

Blurb:

[Main story complete, with a short epilogue]

Innocent troublemaker x sweet, scheming girl // redemption story // she pursues him

All the girls in Yan Family Alley like a boy named Shen Zhiren. He's in a rock band, comes from a wealthy family, and is wild and unruly. Girls are falling over themselves to get close to him.

Back then, well-behaved student Chu Cheng always took a detour whenever she saw Shen Zhiren, doing her best not to be noticed. She was a coward.

In 2017, Shen Zhiren was trampled into the dirt.

On a bitterly cold night, Chu Cheng reached out to touch his face and neck, then put her arms around him, trying to pull him back up.

Shen Zhiren grinned with the defiance of a stray dog and threatened her, coldly and heartlessly: "Trying to seduce me?"

Chu Cheng smiled too and answered frankly, "Yeah. You interested?"

+++The first year after Chu Cheng left, Shen Zhiren didn't think much of it.

The next year, someone was still stubborn enough to act like nothing could touch him.

…

Later, Shen Zhiren and his band became famous across the country, with countless fans hanging on their every word. After a celebration party one day, he got blackout drunk and called a number that would never connect again, choking out, "How can you be so heartless? Whether you were using me or taking revenge on me, how could you just ignore me?"

I'm terrible at writing blurbs, ahem, let's leave it at that for now.

Probably a sweet disaster of a story with landmines everywhere. Neither of them is a good kid, and they both pull plenty of questionable stunts, so proceed with caution if those are dealbreakers.

[That person made my youth unforgettable. When he fell into the abyss, I wanted to save him, or her.]

Theme: There will always be girls who can take up a sword and roam the world, and save someone else, too.
