C City's top private high school has two famous figures.

South Building's heartthrob, Jian Xingshu: fierce, roguish, and bad-tempered.

North District's top student, He Zhiye: cold, cocky, and not to be messed with.

At the start of their second year, their classmates noticed a girl often tagging along with Jian Xingshu.

The little girl had almond-shaped eyes, porcelain skin, and a sweet, docile manner. Tugging at his sleeve, she murmured, "Uncle..."

Jian Xingshu cut her off, looking impatient. "I told you not to call me...!"

"Who gave you the nerve?" His sworn enemy's voice suddenly rang out from the side. The boy glanced over with cool phoenix eyes, swaggering like he owned the place. "How dare you bully my deskmate?"

Jian Xingshu gave a cold laugh and pulled the girl into his arms. "I'm talking to my great-niece. What's it to you?"

He Zhiye suddenly became very obedient. "...All right, Uncle."

Jian Xingshu: "???"

Years later, Jian Xingshu watched in bitter resentment as He Zhiye held his great-niece close, bullying her until her eyes turned red, then shamelessly asked in a low voice, "You like me this much, got it?"

#What the hell do you know, He Zhiye! I don't have a great-nephew like you!!#

Cen Zhi was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome as a child. The year her foster parents returned her, she was "lucky" enough to be reunited with her family.

She thought her new deskmate was a really good person. On the first day of school, he (coldly) smiled and told (warned) her, "Try sitting next to me, I dare you."

Cen Zhi obediently sat down. "Okay."

He Zhiye: "...?"

★ Coming soon in my column: Hidden Glow. Synopsis ★, Rolling around and begging for follows~

Song Chaohuan understood that Yan Xun married her for two reasons:

The Song family was weak and easy to control.

She was unloved in the Song family and had no one to support her, so she couldn't keep him in check.

After the wedding, Young Master Yan could keep defying convention and living it up.

Everyone said marrying Yan Xun was a step up for her.

What couldn't Young Master Yan give her, apart from his true heart?

Song Chaohuan obediently married into the Yan family.

She watched a glamorous female companion light his cigarette at a banquet.

She heard him take a call in the middle of the night and stay out until morning.

She stayed quiet and dutiful, so meek she was almost invisible.

-

No one knew that the little bit of pity Yan Xun had condescended to show her in their youth had made her heart flutter for years.

How long could the delight of being dazzled by someone in your youth last? Song Chaohuan took seven years to stamp it out.

Her love burned to ashes in a corner no one ever saw.

Song Chaohuan thought some people simply couldn't be warmed.

She wanted to leave.

Yan Xun sneered. "Do as you like."

-

Everyone sighed that Young Master Yan really was cold and heartless. His properly wedded wife had left, yet he carried on living freely and prosperously as before.

Until one day, at a high-society banquet, Song Chaohuan appeared as the designer invited by the hostess.

Outside the hotel, Song Chaohuan wore a cheongsam, graceful and cool, and gave him a faint smile and nod.

Her usual gentle voice was now so calm it felt distant. "Mr. Yan, could you please step aside?"

Song Chaohuan brushed past him. Fine rain dampened the man's brows and eyes, reddening them.

Footsteps stumbled behind her, and suddenly a hand clamped around her wrist.

"Chaochao." With trembling fingertips, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and lowered his head cautiously. "You don't have to love me."

He pleaded, almost humbly. "But don't... don't leave me."

#I want to love you, to share every morning and evening with you, year after year#

Independent, gentle beauty in a cheongsam x carefree, heartless young master

1v1, happy ending, the scoundrel grovels as he chases his wife

Premise: Study hard and build a brighter future together.
