Chen Yanqing was a notorious playboy at school, always looking arrogant and untamed, never short of girls by his side.
Zhou Di, on the other hand, was always well-behaved and composed, and didn't talk much.
To outsiders, the two of them seemed to have nothing to do with each other.
Until one day, Chen Yanqing knelt by the stairs to tie Zhou Di's shoelace. A student passing by happened to see them, and soon everyone at school knew: Chen Yanqing had changed his type.
But Zhou Di knew the truth: Chen Yanqing had only approached her to get revenge.
At their college graduation ceremony, Zhou Di stood onstage and watched Chen Yanqing flirting with another girl below.
She had long since gotten used to it, but seeing it with her own eyes, she realized she wasn't as magnanimous as she'd imagined.
After that night, Zhou Yu never went looking for him again.
Before leaving the country, she sent him just one message:
"Mountain birds and fish follow different paths. From now on, may our paths never cross."
No one knew that Zhou Yu had been secretly in love with Chen Yanqing for seven years.
[The female lead changes her name later in the story because of her family background.]
