Han Yuan, 24, earned her bachelor's degree at A University in Country Z and her master's degree in psychology at D University in Country K. A modern elite and a role model for women, she is the quintessential "other people's child."
Most fatal of all, her character is beyond reproach.
The A University student newspaper, known for its candid reporting, once ran an entertainment interview. With Han Yuan's permission, they conducted a special "investigation" into her.
Question: "What do you think of your senior, Han Yuan?"
A junior who had watched Han Yuan give a speech: "Sh-she's really pretty, and she's so gentle..." Seeing the reporter's approving, slightly encouraging look, he let himself go completely. "I was volunteering at the speech that day, and when I messed something up, she helped me. Her voice is amazing..."
Han Yuan's roommate from her department: "She's so wonderful! Once, I had my period and such bad cramps that I couldn't go to class. Before she left, she made me a cup of brown sugar water, and when she got back that evening, she helped me catch up on my coursework... Sniff, I just love her."
A senior from the psychology club: "Yuan Yuan? She's great. She really cares about people, and she's very capable, too."
In short, the praise kept pouring in, and "gentle" became the word most often used to describe her.
For a while, her name once again flooded the school's confession wall.
Han Yuan: "Heh."
Qin Ji, 28, is the captain of the criminal investigation team at the Xicheng City Public Security Bureau. Young and promising, and handsome to boot, he is the quintessential "son-in-law everyone wants but can't have."
He doesn't offend anyone in official circles, and he handles cases with sincerity and diligence. His superiors have praised and promoted him time and again... Qin Ji gradually became a role model for all those hoping to make a long-term career in this line of work.
But no one knew that, more than a decade ago, he had been one of those people in Xicheng City who gave public security a serious headache. It seems no one ever wondered where that fierce gaze and unyielding resolve had come from.
Han Yuan, sweet on the outside, different within x Qin Ji, respectable-looking on the outside
