There's been major gossip going around F University lately: campus heartthrob Lian Huai had a falling-out with his family, going from a wealthy heir to completely broke, with all his bank cards frozen.

Cui Ying has been smiling more lately after hearing the news, temporarily trading her cold goddess persona for a sweet girl image.

Everyone understands. It's only natural to be happy when your sworn enemy hits hard times.

Nobody knows that the very night she got the news, she invited Lian Huai out.

Over a candlelit dinner, she pulled her bank card from her bag and placed it in front of him.

"I know you're used to a certain standard of living, and it must be hard without any money. I've saved 200,000 yuan from tutoring since I started college. Be my boyfriend for a month, and I'll support you. How does that sound?"

Lian Huai: "?!"

They agreed to be a couple until the money on the card ran out.

Everything went smoothly, except...

Cui Ying stared pensively at her bank card.

Why hadn't the balance gone down? Why was there even more money in it?

Don't people say rich kids are spendthrifts? How is he so good at making money?!

At this rate, they'll be dating for a hundred years!!!

#It'll be hard to end this without getting married

#They won't even spend it all in this lifetime, so they'll have to stay together in the next one, too.

Later, Cui Ying curiously asked Lian Huai why he'd fallen out with his family in the first place.

Lian Huai: "Because I didn't want an arranged marriage. I'm in love with someone."

He smiled at Cui Ying.

Cui Ying: "...!"

Mutual pining, incredibly sweet, one-on-one, happy ending

Or maybe I'll write this other idea:

A University has two stunning campus beauties with completely different personalities. One is a typical rich heiress, worshipped like a goddess and surrounded by countless admirers. The other is a top student who won a national scholarship, flawless in both looks and talent, except... she's got a bit of a temper, so she's still single by choice.

And the most talked-about thing of all is that these two prominent figures are roommates.

Cui Ying knows most people probably couldn't put up with a girlfriend like her, so she never even thought about dating.

Whenever she saw her roommate happily stringing along all kinds of men, with a crowd of admirers fussing over her, she couldn't help but sigh.

The more she saw, the more she noticed that one of them was different.

He rarely met up with her roommate, but whenever she contacted him, he'd drop whatever he was doing and come, whether it was the middle of the day or the middle of the night.

Once, when her roommate got drunk, he coldly hauled her, dressed in a sexy outfit, out of the bar and into his car. He never tried to take advantage of her, and even politely offered to drive Cui Ying back to their dorm.

He was very generous to her roommate, always ready to help, whether financially or with anything else, and even putting up with her occasional unreasonable demands. More importantly, he never expected anything in return.

Her roommate's admirers came and went, but he was always there. He never gave up.

Cui Ying felt a little conflicted... It turned out there really were such wonderful people in the world.

Well... if it were him, dating wouldn't be out of the question.

Too bad he liked her roommate.

Then Cui Ying found out that he'd taught himself complex analysis across disciplines just so her roommate wouldn't fail the course, and she realized she really was falling for him.

He'd overcome every obstacle to tutor her roommate, who had failed advanced math and scored zero in higher algebra, until she got an A in complex analysis. Why couldn't Cui Ying get him to fall for her?

So

Cui Ying: "Would you mind if I pursued the person who's pursuing you?"

Roommate: "?!! Ahhh, not at all, not at all! Tell me all about it, I want to hear! Who is he, what's his name, and how did he manage to make you fall for him? The sun must be rising in the west!"

Cui Ying: "..."

Much later

Roommate: "That's... my brother."

Cui Ying: "..."

Roommate: "...My actual brother."

Cui Ying: "..."

Roommate: "Damn, no wonder my brother kept coming over every day around then, delivering the study materials Mom wanted him to give me one sheet at a time, and buying me gifts that he just happened to give to my roommate at the same time."

Cui Ying: "..." I think I've been played.

[Reading Guide]

1. Both leads' first love, mutual pining, one-on-one, happy ending, very sweet.

2. The male lead seems cold and aloof, like a flower on a high peak, but he's actually gentle and an absolute wife-spoiler. The female lead seems talented and independent, but she's brave and wary underneath, with little sense of security. On the surface, the female lead is the one playing the male lead, but in reality, he falls for her first and gradually approaches her and warms her heart.

3. The male lead is Lian Huai.

Theme: If you love him, go flirt with him!
