When Wen Yuning was seven, a young man came to Xizhen to film a show. His name was Lin Qian.

He was from a big city and had the bad temper typical of a rich young master.

Everyone said he was unruly, spoiled, and overbearing, and kept their distance from him.

Only Wen Yuning had once caught a glimpse of Lin Qian's lonely, vulnerable side. So she was willing to approach him, care for him, and give him all her tenderness without holding anything back.

She believed that beneath the Demon King's exterior, his heart could melt with warmth too.

But when filming ended, just as she was holding the number he had solemnly pressed into her hand, about to call him, she happened to see this scene on TV:

"Who likes her? She's always chattering away. She's such a pain."

His merciless words were like freezing rain, instantly dousing all her hopes.

-

They met again ten years later. For reasons beyond her control, Wen Yuning had to head north to study and stay at the Lin family home.

Remembering everything that had happened, she warned herself not to try to get close to Lin Qian again. If she wanted to get through her senior year in peace, she had to keep her distance from him.

She held onto that resolve for two whole months.

Until one day, rumors that she was using her looks to land a rich man spread like wildfire online and swept through the school.

On a dark, gloomy autumn night, a group of thugs dragged Wen Yuning into a narrow alley. Their leering gazes clung to her like malicious flies.

Cornered with nowhere left to run, she was on the verge of despair when Lin Qian pulled her into his arms and threw punches to shield her from the storm.

-

Afterward, Wen Yuning held some ointment and treated the bruises on his arm, anxiously asking Lin Qian what he wanted in return.

She saw the usually proud young man lower his eyes, blushing, and looking so cautiously hopeful as he said, "Then, from now on, don't avoid me anymore, okay?"

Misunderstandings are easy to create, but hard to resolve.

He only understood that when he fell in love with her.

-

After that, Wen Yuning really did stop avoiding him.

Even on the night Lin Qian kissed her.

#A boy's love may be hard to put into words, but he never hesitates to show it.#

[Childhood sweethearts | College campus | Cohabitation | Lighthearted daily life]

Fu Zhilin and Cen Wu drank from matching baby bottles and slept in the same crib as children, yet by the end of adolescence, their relationship had turned into that of sworn enemies.

After graduating from high school, their parents openly tried to set them up, and for once, the two of them stood on the same side.

Cen Wu replied without a shred of mercy, "I'm too busy with school, and I haven't made enough money. I don't have time to support a man yet."

Fu Zhilin lazily raised an eyebrow and played along. "What a coincidence. I have no ambitions. My life's greatest wish is to cling to a rich woman's coattails."

"..."

In short, they were incompatible by birth and wrong for each other.

Until one day.

A sudden car accident caused Cen Wu 1.0 to break down, leaving her with a second, completely different personality.

-

To keep Cen Wu from frightening her roommates during her episodes, Fu Zhilin was given an official mission by their parents: rent a place off campus and live with her.

One night, a few months into living together,

Cen Wu got up to use the bathroom and unexpectedly saw Fu Zhilin standing in front of the mirror, trying to rub the fresh, strawberry-shaped marks all over his neck away.

She watched coldly from the doorway for a while, then couldn't help asking, "What careless girl could possibly be so rough with you?"

Fu Zhilin slowly looked up and gave her a seemingly aggrieved expression. "Half an hour ago."

"While your second personality was out."
