Chen Zhengye is just like his name: upright, wild, and popular with so many girls that they could circle the affiliated high school several times over.
Even so, he can't escape the fact that he's dirt poor. He lives in a drafty basement, and in winter he can get by with a single bucket of cold water for a bath.
One day, he climbs over the school wall to sneak out and finds a girl crouching beneath it. She looks sweet and well-behaved, with big eyes and straight bangs. She's so cute it almost hurts.
When he goes home, she follows. When he skips class, she follows too.
She helps him patch up his drafty basement, puts medicine on his wounds, and knits him a lovely scarf for winter.
When she smiles, Chen Zhengye would gladly rip out his heart and hand it to her.

Zhou Zhou gets hit on the head by a basketball during gym class and discovers that she's a cannon-fodder supporting character in a book. In the end, the biggest villain, who adores the heroine, will take her out.
Being the sort of person who's hopelessly bad at things but loves doing them anyway, of course she'll bring some warmth to the biggest villain before he turns evil and make her future enemy into a friend.
So...
She patches the villain's window with a piece of cardboard she finds by the roadside, buys medicine for him with his own money and applies it to his wounds, then buys several scarves in bulk at a wholesale market in Yiwu and gives them to him.
Finally, before transferring schools, she lies and tells him she's going to die, and that her greatest dream is to marry him.
A year later, Zhou Zhou, who successfully faked her death, is living carefree, enjoying a wonderful college life.
Then, at a basketball game off campus, someone suddenly spots her.
She's cornered at the entrance.
Seeing the little rascal still trying to slip away, Chen Zhengye picks her up and sets her on a table. "Before you died, you said your greatest dream in life was to marry me."
Zhou Zhou, feeling guilty: "D-did I?"
He raises an eyebrow. "I'll make your dream come true now. Tell me, which do you choose: getting our marriage license right away, or going through the proper steps first?"
