When Zhang Yan was eighteen, she returned to China with her diplomat father and enrolled at a prestigious high school in the capital.
To her surprise, the day she registered, her beauty caused a sensation across the school.
Word spread through the gossip mill, and students rushed to crowd around the entrance to Zhang Yan's classroom during breaks.
Lu Yu was the school's notorious rich playboy and heartthrob. Looking at the packed hallway, he scoffed, "Is the transfer student really that pretty? I doubt she's anything special."
Later, Zhang Yan realized she kept running into Lu Yu, and the two began crossing paths through one coincidence after another.
But the lovestruck Zhang Yan had no idea that she was just the subject of a bet among the boys.
After the college entrance exams, Lu Yu said he had a surprise for Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan happily went to meet him. She didn't get the long-awaited confession, though. Instead, she overheard Lu Yu talking with his friend at the door.
"Brother Yu, I think the campus belle really likes you. Why not humor her and make the fake relationship real?"
Lu Yu chuckled. "How could I force something like that?"
The next second, Zhang Yan blocked Lu Yu and never replied to another one of his messages.
Seven years later, Zhang Yan returned from studying abroad. To help her best friend out, she appeared on a popular dating show.
After the show aired, Zhang Yan became a regular trending topic.
Countless eligible male contestants came just for her, but none of them managed to win her over.
By then, Lu Yu had become a rising star in the capital's business world and the CEO of a publicly listed company.
When he happened to see Zhang Yan on TV, he immediately told his assistant to contact the production team.
The assistant didn't think much of it. "Mr. Lu, are you looking to discuss a partnership or sponsorship?"
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Sign me up for the show. I'm bringing her back with me."
