Go Ahead and Keep Pretending, Nobody Can Outdo You!

[A chaste mountain guardian priest as the top, a flirtatious city celebrity as the bottom]

Five years after his debut, Jiang Yin's career was still going nowhere. After refusing to submit to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, he went alone to unwind at a sacred mountain called Gewuda. It took only one glance for him to fall for Huo Yu, the mountain guardian priest with deep blue eyes and an otherworldly, holy presence.

As the mountain guardian priest of the Lemo people, Huo Yu never showed his emotions. He was like a statue carved from ice and jade, a true man of the world beyond.

Even getting close to him took a great deal of initiative on Jiang Yin's part.

After several unsuccessful attempts to win him over, Jiang Yin was disheartened. He understood that the priest, untouched by worldly concerns, truly disliked him for being an outsider.

Then one day, Jiang Yin gave Huo Yu a gift: the latest smart wristband.

The wristband could monitor his heart rate and connect to Jiang Yin's phone via Bluetooth.

To Jiang Yin's surprise, whenever he was near Huo Yu, even if they only exchanged a passing glance, Huo Yu's heart rate went haywire...

After that, Jiang Yin launched his campaign to win him over.

Jiang Yin told Huo Yu pitifully, “I lost my job, I'm broke, and I've got an illness.”

Huo Yu: “What illness?” There were elders among the Lemo who knew quite a bit about medicine.

Jiang Yin: “ lovesickness.”

Huo Yu: “...”

Huo Yu: “The Lemo clan rules forbid marriage to outsiders.”

Jiang Yin: “Oh, that's fine. We're not getting married anyway.”

Huo Yu: “...”

A few months later, a movie Jiang Yin had filmed before leaving his company was suddenly released. It became an overnight hit, and his tearjerking performance, good enough to be used as a textbook example, made him a hugely popular topic of conversation.

Huo Yu: “You said nobody liked you...”

“I wasn't lying.” Jiang Yin took out his phone to explain.

But the screen was full of comments like “I love you, bro,” “You're the one I most want to marry this year,” and “Can you just marry me out of nowhere?” There were so many that it was dizzying.

Jiang Yin had no idea how to explain that his fans were just joking. There was no way he could explain them all.

Huo Yu: “Then say it again. You like me...”

1. On Qi Xu's first day as a transfer student, a boy from the class next door named Yan Yue threatened him.

The boy grabbed his arm. “Fatso, you're doing all my homework from now on, got it?”

Qi Xu said nothing. The next day, he told their homeroom teacher what had happened.

2. Yan Ye had no idea what was going on. Out of nowhere, the discipline director summoned him to the office and chewed him out for two whole hours. He even had to write a five-page apology.

“I'm sorry... classmate.” Qi Xu summoned the courage to apologize to Yan Ye. “I wasn't the one who reported you.”

Yan Ye, whose hand had nearly fallen off from writing: “...”

He really wanted to kick this ball-shaped guy out of school.

Qi Xu felt a chill run down his back. “How about I... teach you some homework?”

Yan Ye, a terrible student: “So what if you can do homework?!”

Just you wait!

That settled it: they were sworn enemies now!!!
