The person Tao You hates most in the world is Cheng Mu.

In their senior year of high school, Cheng Mu transferred into Class One at No. 1 High School in the city.

He was 184 centimeters tall, with pale, cool-toned skin, like a pretty boy straight out of a manga.

On his very first day at the school, he became the campus heartthrob and caused a sensation.

Only Tao You knew how awful he was!

Not only did he keep stealing the top spot in their grade from her, making her study even harder,

he also bullied her at every opportunity!

For the Dragon Boat Festival, the class monitor gave her an egg. Cheng Mu snatched it, peeled it, and swallowed it in one bite.

Though the next day, he gave her a whole bucket of eggs.

He had drawn all kinds of smiling faces on them.

Hmph. She didn't want them.

When the college entrance exams were over, Tao You was overjoyed. She could finally escape Cheng Mu's bullying!

On the day she went to register at A University, someone stopped her at the school gate.

She turned around and saw Cheng Mu, suitcase in hand, beaming at her in the sunlight.

"Little You, what a coincidence. You're here to register too."

Tao You: "...Didn't you say you were going abroad to study?"

Waaah!

She burst into tears on the spot!

It was like the sky had fallen!

The little princess of the Mai family, Mai Ye,

was famous for being spoiled and willful.

She stole both of her best friends' boyfriends.

She ran away from three weddings.

She dumped countless boyfriends, always looking for someone new.

She spent all day stirring up trouble.

Her best friends told her, "Mai Mai, you need to find Li Zhiwen to set you straight."

Li Zhiwen was the only son of the Li family of the eastern part of the city.

He was a famously aloof, chaste beauty.

They said he'd just returned from abroad.

At the time, Mai Ye had scoffed.

There wasn't a man in the world who could handle her.

But three days later, she got a face-slapping reality check.

She saw Li Zhiwen for the first time at a business banquet.

The man looked cool and refined, a faint, elegant smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Mai Ye fell for him on the spot.

She pursued Li Zhiwen for three years.

She won over everyone in the Li family, but never managed to win over Li Zhiwen.

"Li Zhiwen, could you please look at me?"

At last, utterly exhausted, Mai Ye said to him.

The man only gave her a cold glance.

One week before the wedding, Mai Ye saw a message from Li Zhiwen's ex-girlfriend: I miss you.

Mai Ye trashed their new home and sent Li Zhiwen a message: I'll set you free. I sincerely hope you two will be happy.

Mai Ye ran away from her fourth wedding and went abroad to heal.

Li Zhiwen was playing ball with his friends when the message arrived. He didn't even raise an eyelid.

The Li family asked, "Should we cancel the wedding?"

Li Zhiwen's expression was cold. "The wedding is still on. She'll come back."

She had worked so hard to win him over. How could she give up on the wedding?

On the wedding day, Li Zhiwen waited alone until sunset.

Mai Ye never came back.

She had actually...

really run away from the wedding!

For the first time, the people around him saw Li Zhiwen fly into a rage.

His expression was so terrifying, it looked like he was about to tear someone apart!

When Xu Ying was little, she was a pampered princess.

She played the piano and wore designer princess dresses.

When she was seven, her father secretly transferred all the Xu family's assets and drove them into bankruptcy.

Xu Ying's mother was left with a mountain of debt and died by suicide after falling into depression.

Meng Qingyun moved into their villa with his first love's illegitimate daughter.

He abandoned Xu Ying at a relative's home in the countryside and never asked about her again.

When Xu Ying was eleven, she fled that dark place in the middle of the night.

She sought help from the police, but Meng Qingyun took her back and sent her right back to her relatives in the countryside.

Three days later, a fire burned down the relatives' home.

In the fire, three charred bodies were found, two large and one small.

From then on, Xu Ying was "dead."

Eight years later,

newcomer Xu Ning burst onto the entertainment scene.

She had a stunning figure and captivating beauty.

The media called her a once-in-a-century beauty.

With her very first film, she won the Best Actress award at the Golden Flower Awards for her superb acting!

At a dinner party,

Fei Nanlu looked up.

Xu Ning had glossy black hair and red lips, and was as lovely as a rose even without makeup.

She tilted her head and smiled at him.

So innocent.

Fei Nanlu raised an eyebrow.

His girlfriend, Meng Xiaoyu, hooked her arm through his and glared fiercely at Xu Ning.
