When Xie Linyue met Chen Yushi in her second year of high school, she thought he was a transfer student who was kind of handsome but cold as ice. Plenty of girls surrounded him, but she didn't pay them any mind. After all, she was the sort of person others found intimidating, too.

She planned to settle her debt and draw a clear line between them, only to realize that the "debt" had long since become something else.
