*A princess who knows she's beautiful X a bad-boy BKing who says one thing but means another
On the first day Qiao Lizhi transferred to Yingcai, she took the school by storm with her beauty.
One day during a break, the girls around her checked her horoscope, and the results said she was destined for romance that day.
Qiao Lizhi had lived for seventeen years. She believed in neither gods, nor Buddhas, nor horoscopes. After hearing the prediction, she found it absurd and funny. "It's not spring. Where would real peach blossoms come from..."
Before she could finish, a handsome guy appeared at the classroom door. "Excuse me, is Qiao Lizhi here?"

Jiang Ye was a celebrity at Yingcai Middle School. He topped the grade rankings every time, an unattainable beauty everyone was too intimidated to approach.
But the flirtatious Qiao Lizhi had her eye on him. Under cover of a moonless night, she waited outside Jiang Ye's house and stopped him on his way home, then confessed without a second thought.
To her surprise, Jiang Ye, pinned beneath a streetlamp, didn't get angry. The corner of his mouth lifted with a hint of insolence. "Sorry, I don't go for anyone who isn't first in the grade."
"You're thinking too small, bro. How about the top student in the whole school?"
"You?" A hint of doubt showed in the eyes of the haughty academic prodigy. Qiao Lizhi gave him a sweet smile. "Being the most beautiful girl in the whole school means I'm number one too."

Later, the tables turned. Qiao Lizhi returned to the company after finishing a promotional shoot and ran into Jiang Ye in the elevator.
After rejecting her boss time and time again, the celebrity Qiao was feeling a bit bold. With a smug, arrogant air, she brought up their old argument. "Sorry, Mr. Jiang. If you don't have a hundred million, I won't even consider dating you."
"You're thinking too small."
Jiang Ye stepped closer, took her hand, and pressed it against his heart. "Win this, and this whole building is yours."

One day, employees at Jiangsheng Pictures were buzzing in the group chat, wondering where the slap mark on the big boss's left cheek had come from!
The culprit, Qiao Lizhi, was sprawled in the company van, bored out of her mind as she read a script.
Her manager sighed. "You little menace, aren't you afraid of being blacklisted?"
Qiao Lizhi replied, "He tried to harass me last night. I was just defending myself."
*One-on-one, both are each other's first. In the first half, the heroine pursues the hero at school; later, the hero chases his wife in the entertainment industry.
*A short, sweet story written just for fun. Don't overthink the logic.
