I have a secret everyone knows:
The campus heartthrob, Shao Chen, and I are together.
I carefully planned our future:
The worst school I could get into was Imperial College, and the best school he could get into was Imperial College, so we were definitely going to Imperial College.
Only later did I find out that while I stayed up late highlighting key points in his PowerPoint slides, he was walking out of a movie theater shoulder to shoulder with Fish Pond Girl No. N.
I came to my senses overnight.
To hell with Imperial College.
Is Oxford not good enough, or Cambridge not cool enough?

Raise fish for a thousand days, drain the pond in a moment.
Ever since Xia Zhi broke up with Shao Chen, all the fish in his pond vanished one after another.
Master Angler Shao: "You can mess with me, but don't mess with my fish!"
When Shao Chen heard that Xia Zhi had made it to the ACM International Finals, he decided to go there and get some answers.
But strangely, the programming competition, which should have drawn no audience, was surrounded by a sea of glowing fan signs!
Shao Chen was baffled and could only ask someone else.
But as he looked around, all the people sitting in front, behind, and beside him seemed familiar.
The person on his left had dinner with him just last week, and the person on his right went to Disneyland with him last month.
Shao Chen: "?"
Aren't these his fish?
As he questioned his entire life, Shao Chen heard the host ask the champion, "Xia Zhi, what would you say is your biggest flaw?"
Without hesitation, Xia Zhi replied, "I was blind."
The crowd around them erupted.
Fish Pond No. 1: "Xia Xia is so beautiful!"
Fish Pond No. 2: "Xia Xia is so cool!"
Fish Pond No. 3: "Aaaaah, Xia Xia is right!"
Shao Chen: "?"
I crossed mountains and rivers to find my fish, only to discover I was the one wearing the green hat.
[Sunk costs aren't costs. The path I'm taking no longer leads to you.]
Reader notes:
1. This is not meant to disparage Imperial College. It's a great school.
2. The female lead is strong-willed, has sound values, and is straight. The story is mainly about putting the male lead through the wringer.
3. The scumbag doesn't deserve love. After he gets his comeuppance, the second male lead gets the girl.
