"So you were only passing by my side, but I mistook you for a rainbow descending from the heavens."

The first time Lan Shuzhou saw Zhong Sheng, she started avoiding him. But the world is round, and things don't always go as expected.

She heard he was a playboy, and that his name had spread from the affiliated high school all the way to college.

Lan Shuzhou ran into him again and again. The night they finally connected, the stars in the sky were beautiful.

That connection brought a ray of light into Lan Shuzhou's dim life, and she thought she was the one who was special.

Until that private room in a glittering, decadent bar.

Someone asked, "Zhong Sheng, don't tell me you've actually fallen for Lan Shuzhou?"

Everyone around them waited for his answer as if they were watching a joke.

The boy she had seen as her light leaned lazily against the sofa, his brows and eyes still as handsome as ever.

Yet beneath that handsome face, he said something utterly cruel, without the slightest concern.

Zhong Sheng heard the question and gave a mocking laugh. He didn't answer directly. "The way she dances is pretty similar to that person's."

Lan Shuzhou leaned against the wall and slowly slid to the floor, her face streaked with tears.

So the so-called playboy was genuine and false by turns. She simply wasn't the one who could make him settle down.

Her trial period had expired. It was time to wake from the dream.

When they met again, Lan Shuzhou was clear-headed and kept her distance, but he crossed the line again and again, pressing closer at every turn. She no longer lost herself in him. Before the rainbow appears, there is a storm.

One day, Zhong Sheng blocked Lan Shuzhou's path. She snapped, "What are you trying to do?"

Zhong Sheng smiled, his deep eyes fixed on her. "I built you a rainbow bridge. I'd like to invite you to come see it with me."

[Reading Notes]

1. The quoted line in the title and blurb is from the song Borrowed Time.

2. Gentle dance student x free-spirited playboy

3. A touch of fake-playboy flavor

4. More campus life than city life

5. A very slow-burn story

6. A little melodramatic

7. 1v1, both leads' first relationship

Blurb for the upcoming novel Star and Moon:

Ling Erxi, eighteen, had to take a leave from school because of an illness. When she returned, everyone in her class was a stranger to her.

Both an "upperclasswoman" and a "new student," she missed the chance to choose a deskmate. In the end, she had no choice but to sit with the only person who had a desk all to himself.

But her new deskmate seemed difficult to get along with.

"Hi, I'm Ling Erxi. We'll be deskmates from now on, so I hope we get along," she said, taking the initiative to greet him in hopes of fitting into her new class.

"Stop talking. You're annoying." His cold, irritated voice froze the smile on Ling Erxi's face.

From then on, she stuck to the principle of leaving each other alone and stopped bothering him.

But after the college entrance exams, her ill-tempered, hard-to-approach deskmate looked at her pitifully, held her hand and shook it, then pleaded in a soft voice, "Sis, please say yes~"

[Reading Notes]

1. Older woman-younger man romance, one year apart

2. They don't become a couple until after she's eighteen

3. Irritable at first, affectionate later x gentle from beginning to end

4. It should be an incredibly sweet romance, 1v1, both leads' first relationship

Theme: A love that goes both ways, a chance encounter with love
