(★Synopsis★)

[Hot-tempered, jealous athlete childhood friend x occasionally bold bunny-like childhood sweetheart]

[Sour-and-sweet campus romance, childhood friend and deskmate wins her heart. The male lead has had a crush on the female lead for years.]

Jiang Qiyue excels at her studies and is well-behaved and sensible, a model good girl. The most outrageous thing she's ever done is confess to the refined and elegant school heartthrob.

But she doesn't know that a gentle, gentlemanly manner and innocence can both be faked.

The day Jiang Qiyue discovered the heartthrob's disgusting true nature, she cried terribly.

Even worse, her childhood friend and deskmate saw her in that miserable state.

The foul-mouthed, hot-tempered boy wore a dark expression as he stood in front of her with an umbrella, shielding her from the wind and rain. Gritting his teeth, he scolded her:

"Jiang Qiyue, you've really outdone yourself. Is it worth crying like this over some guy? If you like someone, at least pick someone you know well."

"Can't you look at me instead?"

Jiang Qiyue looked up in confusion and met a pair of eyes full of urgent concern.

In a daze, she finally realized that Huo Zhiyang liked her.

[Hopelessly old-fashioned, loyal-dog male lead x dazzling, spoiled young lady born with a talent for training dogs]

[Boarding-school campus story. The female lead is not perfect.]

Yu Xiaoran comes from a prominent family and is stunningly beautiful. Though she's spoiled and loves to have fun, she never lacks for high-quality companions.

Compared to the dazzling and flamboyant Miss Yu, Xie Che has an accent, calloused hands, holes in his shoes, and faded clothes. He looks especially simple and easy to bully. His only good point is his academic performance.

These two people, who ought to have lived in completely different worlds, become acquainted thanks to Yu's mother's kindness.

The first time Yu Xiaoran saw Xie Che, who had come to board at her home, she couldn't help frowning in disdain. "Tsk, so tacky."

Xie Che's ears turned bright red. He lowered his head awkwardly and didn't dare keep looking at her.

His only thought was that his little sister was really pretty, and her voice was lovely too.

Seeing that, Yu Xiaoran found him even more annoying.

She silently added to her assessment of Xie Che: timid, stage-frightened, and not fit to be seen in public.

*

It wasn't until they started attending the same high school that Yu Xiaoran realized Xie Che was unbelievably bold!

With Xie Che around, she had an inescapable tattletale following her. No matter what mischief she got up to, her family found out, and even the love letters in her desk were disposed of completely.

Even more infuriatingly, her parents praised Xie Che to no end for all this.

Unable to take it anymore, Yu Xiaoran declared war on Xie Che without stopping to consider why he did it.

The problem was, Xie Che took everything in stride, so bullying him gave her no sense of accomplishment.

After the college entrance exams, Xie Che spent all his savings on a gift Yu Xiaoran liked and worked up the courage to confess.

That same day, Yu Xiaoran boarded a flight abroad.

*

Five years later, the Yu family went bankrupt, and Yu Xiaoran returned home in disgrace.

On the night she came back, an unusually heavy rain fell at the airport.

Yu Xiaoran stood soaked through in the pickup area, waiting for her rideshare to match with other passengers.

Before her ride could be matched, a luxurious car appeared.

The car door opened. A tall man in expensive casual clothes walked up to Yu Xiaoran with an umbrella. His rugged face was taut, and he spoke perfect Mandarin. "Let's go home."

The boy who used to be hopelessly tacky had transformed into a hot new business tycoon, with not a trace of his old country bumpkin look.
