Self-deluding male lead x fake-good-girl female lead
[School romance / Rekindled love / Forced love / Domineering CEO type]
Chen Chi is famous throughout school as a wild, arrogant young master. On top of coming from a good family, he's brilliant at his studies. He's so handsome that gifts and letters pile up on his desk every day, but he couldn't care less. His only focus is studying.
One day, he finds a little follower tagging along on his way home, and it leaves him bewildered.
The boy looks back at the girl following him, his tone impatient. "Hey, stop following me. I don't want people getting the wrong idea about us."
After both her parents die, Li Yao is taken in by the Chen family. Chen's mother had told them to walk to and from school together, so Li Yao follows behind him.
Looking at his handsome face, she gives him an innocent look and says softly, "After today, I'll keep my distance."

But as they spend day after day together, Li Yao gradually falls for him and decides to win him over.
After the college entrance exam, she accidentally catches a glimpse of his good looks, and for several days afterward, she can't stop thinking about him, by day or in her dreams.
Yet no matter how many times she tries to win him over, Chen Chi only grows to hate her more.
In the end, she gives up completely.

Years later, the two meet again at a coffee shop in London on a rainy day.
When Li Yao sees him again, she isn't embarrassed. She simply walks past him.
"Li Yao, you showed up in front of me again. Are you planning to pursue me again?"
"Mr. Chen, don't flatter yourself. You're about to get married!"
"Oh! Since when? I didn't know I was getting married. You're so concerned about me, and you still say you're not trying to pursue me?"
After returning to China, Li Yao and Chen Chi's names appear together on a marriage certificate.
