[Blurb]
Wen Du was a legend at No. 2 High School. He was the campus heartthrob and had held the top spot in his grade for years.
Then, during the placement exam before the start of senior year, someone shattered the legend.
“Tan Xi? Who's that? I've never heard of her.”
Wen Du raised his eyes and glanced at the transfer student walking toward him.
At ten that night, after evening study ended, Tan Xi and Wen Du silently walked one after the other into the same villa.
Wen Du went upstairs to the study with a terrace. Tan Xi entered the maid's room in the basement.
*
Rumors about Wen Du and Tan Xi were spreading everywhere.
Some people said they had seen Wen Du studying with Tan Xi, taking her to the infirmary, and waiting for her to go home. They even said the tips of his fingers carried the scent of Tan Xi's hair.
They said the untouchable beauty had descended from her lofty pedestal.
*
On the night the college entrance exam ended, Tan Xi didn't come home, and Wen Du went out to look for her.
On a run-down street, he saw Tan Xi stand on tiptoe, smiling up at a strange man and watching him intently.
Under the dim yellow streetlights, Wen Du could clearly see that the man's features looked sixty or seventy percent like his own.

*[Pre-release story Wild Grass blurb]
The first time Xin Nian met Shi Yi, she was desperate and helpless, surrounded by darkness.
She stood on the edge of a rooftop, cold wind rushing against her. Looking down, her legs trembled and her whole body shook.
Just as she was about to jump, a cool, indifferent voice sounded beside her. “Could you not jump here? You're affecting the business downstairs.”
The second time Xin Nian met Shi Yi, he was in a narrow alley.
He was taking on three men at once, striking viciously with every punch, before finally collapsing onto the cold ground, gasping for breath.
Trembling, Xin Nian pulled out her math test paper to offer him as a tissue. Shi Yi shook it open.
“Fifty-eight. Tch. With grades that bad, why are you even still in school?”
The eighth time Xin Nian met Shi Yi was on the eve of the college entrance exam.
Her parents saw her as a burden. They wouldn't let her continue studying and wanted her to start earning money and get married early so she could support her little brother.
Xin Nian crouched by a second-floor window, longing to sneak out by jumping down, but afraid she'd get hurt.
Shi Yi held out a hand. “Come down. I'll take you away.”
Xin Nian shut her eyes, gritted her teeth, and jumped. She fell into someone's arms.
Shi Yi hit the ground with a muffled groan.
From behind her, Xin Nian heard him say coolly, “You're afraid of heights on the second floor, but what was that stunt you pulled last time?”
Theme: Knowledge changes your destiny
Why didn't the heroine say anything about the substitute? Obviously the male protagonist really cares about it
I feel like it was good before the reunion. I really like the internal ambiguity. The male protagonist is also very kind to the female protagonist. He is also very flirtatious sometimes. I really love his character. The female protagonist was also very good in the past. But why can't the female protagonist make it clear that I like you when she leaves? We should make it clear whether we are together or not. It is really nonsensical. Is it for the sake of the plot behind? I don't understand. Can you explain clearly that we meet at the top? It's better if the male protagonist hates her. After the reunion, the female protagonist didn't seem to say how much she likes him or loves him, nor did she explain some of the misunderstandings she had at the time. The female protagonist later said that she didn't care, but the other one was really angry. It was obviously you who hurt someone, but you still want him to coax you. I really don't understand and feel speechless. There are more than 20 chapters that I really can't watch anymore, but the heroine's father when he was a student really made me cry...
It is rare to find a campus romance article that is smooth and full of vitality. I really feel that the female protagonist is special. Unlike other "excellent" female protagonists, Tan Xi's studies are really better than the male protagonist. Her heart is really strong and independent. I think she is the most dazzling advantage of the campus part of this article. It is really rare to find an author with this kind of consciousness. The heroine is really good. I feel that I really love Tan Xi! What's super amazing is the restrained yet precise writing. I was particularly impressed by the endings of many chapters: he went up to the second floor, she went into the basement, and the identity gap between the male and female protagonists was highlighted. It was particularly textured, and the campus part was really excellent and gripping! But the urban reunion part at the end is really inferior. It is quite oily and ordinary, especially in the refreshing and beautiful early text. The gap is even more obvious. Although the plot is about the struggle of the protagonist, it still loses the unique vitality of this article. Personally, I feel that this is because the professional words, deeds and appearance of the male and female protagonists are more common among the public, and they lose the freshness of being on campus. In short, I support you greatly and support excellent articles!!
I've finished watching it, it's so good ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
In fact, if you think about it from another angle, the unconscious loss of control of a person who has always been cold and affectionate is also very profound. Tan Xi would not reveal her true emotions in front of anyone, but when her father passed away, at her most painful moment, she could cry in front of Wen Du without any precautions, showing her fragile side honestly. After the college entrance examination, because she knew Wen Du saw her and Cheng Zeyu together, she lost consciousness at that moment. Apart from Wen Du, there will never be anyone else. I think this superficial inequality is actually correcting the actual inequality. The gap between them determines that they cannot be together at the age of 18. She must love herself first before she has the ability to love Wendu. This kind of love is a healthy and benign relationship. For Wen Du, I am really sad for those eight difficult years. He spent one-third of his life waiting for his lover to grow up. Fortunately, although the years are long, they are worth the wait. The sacrifices and gains... All these seem to be no longer important, because they are the unique pair of soulmates in the ocean.
What a treasure trove of articles, the best I've read in half a year
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Gaga looks so good and the flowers are finished
I saw someone recommended watching Douyin. It's so good!!! I love it. I hope Wen Du and Tan Xi will get better and better in the parallel world (*? I`*)
Wow, the next stage of life
