How Arrogant Can He Be? [The Long Road to Reconciliation]

[Complete]

Sheng Cheng comes from a wealthy family, is exceptionally handsome, and excels at school. Unfortunately, he loves to party, and he's always surrounded by friends and beautiful women.

Lately, Sheng Cheng has lost interest in everything. A friend suggests, "If you want to try something new, find an innocent girl to fool around with. It's not like you can't get whatever woman you want, Sheng Cheng. That freshman who's just been named the campus belle seems pretty good."

Sheng Cheng grins carelessly. "Sure. Let her come keep me entertained."

Song Chuijin foolishly hopes to keep Sheng Cheng for life. She changes herself for him and puts up with everything he does. Even when his so-called "girl friends who are just like the guys" mock her from time to time, she can take it.

But Song Chuijin decides to let go.

The night before graduation, she sees a birthday party photo on social media. Sheng Cheng is celebrating with his "girl friends who are just like the guys," his arm around a girl as they flash peace signs. Cake has been smeared across the girl's innocent face like cat whiskers. They look so happy together, like a perfect couple.

On graduation day, Song Chuijin says calmly, "Sheng Cheng, let's break up."

Sheng Cheng has spent the night drinking with his friends. Thinking Song Chuijin is throwing another tantrum, he replies impatiently, "I just forgot to go to your graduation ceremony. I'll buy you a present to make up for it later. Stop being so petty."

Song Chuijin replies coldly, "I think you're disgusting when you smoke, drink, and get tattoos, so we're breaking up." See, Song Chuijin? When you don't love him anymore, you can come up with so many different reasons.

Sheng Cheng's mind goes completely blank, and he feels inexplicably panicked.

Later, Sheng Cheng quits smoking and drinking, and has his tattoos removed. The always-proud man finally lowers his head, carefully offering Song Chuijin his sincere heart.

Song Chuijin breaks his pride and tramples that heart underfoot.

"Sheng Cheng, I hate it when you wear black from head to toe. Are you in mourning every day? Stop hanging around me. You bring bad luck."

Beside Song Chuijin stands a boy in a pure white shirt, his sunny smile making Sheng Cheng look like a stray dog, lifeless and desolate.

"I can change all the things you don't like," Sheng Cheng says, his eyes reddening. "I'm slowly changing."

Sheng Cheng knows she doesn't hate people who smoke, drink, and have tattoos, nor does she hate people who wear black from head to toe. She just doesn't love him anymore.

1. From university to the city.

2. The groveling-ex arc begins right after graduation!

3. The male lead stays the same. Both leads' firsts. Happy ending.

4. Neither lead is perfect.
