The Qi and Lu families are two of S City’s most prominent families. Lu Cheng spent fourteen years as the daughter of the Qi family’s nanny before the Lu family finally brought her home.
Back then, her mother, the nanny, said every day:
"You could never hope to have the life they have." "It's a good thing those children from the prominent families are willing to bring you along. Don't provoke them. Help them whenever you can." "Don't go looking for a chance to compete with them."
So she bought breakfast for Qi Jian, ran errands, copied homework, and accepted love letters on his behalf.
Now, Lu Cheng is once again the young lady of the Lu family.
Facing the apologies of her biological parents, Lu Cheng feels utterly lost.
When she turns around, she sees a handsome young man with smiling, flirtatious eyes, acting as mean as ever.
Her face expressionless, she finally says the words she's been holding back for so long: "You asshole."
Qi Jian: "?"

Why would someone choose one person so resolutely?
--Because, over the years, they have seen the kindness buried deep in that person's bones, a kindness that hardship could never erase.
--May time never betray anyone's kindness or sincerity. May we all make peace with the world.
*A coming-of-age story. Neither the male nor the female lead is likable, but I love them.
