Blurb:

When Xin Rou was fourteen, she moved in next door to Zhou Qiang and fell in love at first sight with the handsome young man who played the erhu on his balcony.

They grew close, and from then on, they were inseparable on their way to and from school.

During a shot put competition in her sophomore year of high school, Xin Rou won first place with her astonishing strength. Excited, she scooped Zhou Qiang up in her arms as he watched from the stands.

On the way back to class, someone teased Zhou Qiang. "Brother Qiang, you're so strong! You like a girl as bold as Sister Rou?"

Zhou Qiang spotted Xu Xiwei coming toward them and hurried to deny it. "What a joke. How could I like a tigress? We're just buddies."

Not long after that, Zhou Qiang saw Xin Rou walking with Su Yu, a senior in their second year of high school, every day.

He didn't know why, but beneath the setting sun, the sight of them together always rubbed him the wrong way.

It was as if someone had taken his place, and a mouse had gnawed away a piece of his heart.

After graduation, Zhou Qiang resolutely enrolled at a university next door to Xin Rou's. He followed her around every day, buying her meals and picking up her deliveries, willingly acting like a lovesick puppy.

Her roommates were envious as they gathered around the two of them. "Sister Rou, your boyfriend treats you so well."

Xin Rou replied coldly, "We're just buddies. I don't even think of him as a man."

Her roommates stared at Zhou Qiang in surprise. Just as Xin Rou was privately celebrating her revenge, he kissed her forcefully in front of everyone.

The young man looked carefree and confident. "Sorry. I was young and stupid back then, so I let you keep thinking of me as a buddy. Now you'd better be careful, because..."

"Wife, I'm going to make advances on you."

Zhou Qiang: What a joke. Xin Rou's practically a man. There's no way I could like her.

Xin Rou: Oh? You look like a pretty boy. Who'd ever fall for you?

Zhou Qiang: I hope that's true.

Xin Rou: Don't try to take that back.

A sweet childhood-friends romance. She has a one-sided crush on him at first, then they fall for each other.

Blurb:

During her sophomore year of college, Gu Chacha met Zhou Shangyu through a popular comment on NetEase Cloud Music. They listened to music together online, quickly hit it off, and became a long-distance couple.

Zhou Shangyu was a passionate fan of M-killer, an indie singer. Loving the singer by association, Gu Chacha also began following him.

After three years together, the distance made Zhou Shangyu grow increasingly cold toward Gu Chacha.

After an argument, Gu Chacha bought tickets to an M-killer concert and took the high-speed train to apologize to her boyfriend, only to be dumped on the spot!

At the time, Gu Chacha caught her boyfriend being all over a woman in black stockings outside her apartment building.

She slapped Zhou Shangyu and ended things with the scumbag.

Later, when Gu Chacha went to a bar to drown her sorrows, she met a handsome man and bought him a drink, but he ignored her.

So, emboldened by the alcohol, she teased him: "If you won't drink, are you afraid I'll drug you?"

She hadn't expected the handsome man's gloomy eyes to carry a hint of fanged menace as he replied, "Go ahead and try."

Handsome man: "I won't drink unless you drug it."

Only later did Gu Chacha gradually realize that the handsome man she'd been teasing was none other than Zhou Shangyu's idol, M-killer.
