Short story

Effective Surrender

In her sophomore year, Lu Man's tutoring agency drops a young master into her lap.

And so begins the first major setback of her part-time job.

Her student is Fu Xiuyuan, the infamous spoiled rich brat of Beidu and the young master of the prestigious Fu family.

At their first tutoring session, Lu Man discovers just how fussy the young master is. With no other choice, she "retreats to avoid his sharp edge" and goes to teach in a poor mountain village.

She never expected to run into him again, even after traveling tens of thousands of miles.

Only after spending time together does she realize she wasn't the only one trying to avoid his sharp edge.

She just never expected that this time, she and the young master would grow so close in the mountains...

Before she knew it, she'd fallen for him.

The ice cream beneath the pagoda tree, the rose behind the white T-shirt, the sunset atop Mount Xiaoming... and his eyes, just inches away.

All of it made her fall under his spell before she knew it...

But it was all an illusion.

The eldest daughter of the Lu family of Shang'an has never known how to love anyone... even when her heart is moved.

The once-spirited young master was left behind by Lu Man that summer.

They reunite many years later. At a banquet, as glasses are raised and exchanged, a colleague introduces the two people at the table who are chatting calmly. To her surprise, Lu Man says to him, "Pleased to meet you."

Fu Xiuyuan is too angry to say a word.

Only after the banquet ends, when Lu Man comes out of the restroom and is pinned against the wall, does he lean close to her ear and murmur, "Sis, don't you remember me?"
