Spring Comes to the Desolate City

*

When Duan Yunchu was in middle school, she went to No. 4 Middle School in Nanqi City.

"Could you please not sit next to me? I made plans with someone else."

"No. We can choose our own seats, and I picked this one first. Who can you blame?"

*

He Lin transferred to Donglin City in eighth grade. By coincidence, Duan Yunchu also ended up at the same high school as him.

So...

"What, don't want to kick me out and sit somewhere else this time?"

"I-I do, of course! I-I'm just hoping you'll have enough sense to leave on your own!"

A kidnapping took place in Donglin more than ten years ago. Duan Yunchu and He Lin were among the children abducted.

The police suffered heavy casualties, and the ransom involved was enormous. In the end, only three of the dozen or so kidnapped children were found and brought back. The case became widely known.

But what everyone knew was only the surface. The case was named the 910 Major Kidnapping Case. Its files are still kept in the deepest part of the provincial police department's archives, in the highest-security section for major unsolved cases.

Duan Yunchu is assigned a top-secret undercover mission. Reunited with He Lin, the two join forces to break through the shadows, restore clear skies to the city, and bring peace to the fallen heroes.

A cocky, ridiculously handsome guy who fears nothing, except Duan getting hurt or angry x A fair-skinned beauty with exceptional looks and grace, who seems innocent but is secretly wicked and a hidden bad-boy king.

Things I think might be deal-breakers:

1. Both leads come from wealthy families. The female lead's family goes bankrupt during high school, and her parents treat her badly.

2. The female lead's grandparents are extremely wealthy. Because her father treats her poorly, they cut ties with him.

4. Both leads are talented and excel at school. They don't do anything overly intimate in high school~

3. The female lead develops depression and other mental illnesses because of various events at different times. She gets better later.

4. The female lead's mental health worsens during high school, and she starts smoking. The male lead smokes too. Later, when she and our handsome Lord He end up together, she will quit, and He Lin will quit too.
