Hard to Endure

Xu Bujia only changed her name after the Xu family's only daughter was found and brought home.

It meant neither beautiful nor kind, someone neither approved of nor expected to amount to anything.

Xu Qiru's return to the Xu family was when Xu Bujia's nightmare began.

Those days were harder to endure than life in the orphanage.

-

She held on until she had saved enough for tuition and living expenses,

then left the Xu family and got into a high school back in Lin City.

Xu Bujia once thought she would live quietly and obediently in this little city for the rest of her life.

-

But Chen Chuang appeared out of nowhere.

Bright as light and blazing like fire, he drew every eye just by standing there.

-

Xu Bujia didn't like dealing with people like him.

She had suffered enough from living in the Xu family with Xu Qiru for years.

-

But Chen Chuang was different.

He helped her, protected her, adored her, and praised her.

He always stood firmly behind her,

patiently and lovingly gathering up the pieces of her shattered heart.

-

Xu Bujia finally stepped outside the circle she'd drawn around herself.

She chose the country's top university.

The school was in Bei City.

Liu Bo had told her that was where Chen Chuang's family lived.

Part 1

[To everyone's surprise, Chen Chuang returned to Bei City.

After he came back, a rumor suddenly started circulating in their social circle:

Chen Chuang had fallen head over heels for a young girl from Lin City.

Apparently, he was by her side twenty-four hours a day, acting every bit the devoted protector.

-

Everyone scoffed at the rumor.

Who didn't know that Young Master Chen Chuang had never been interested in women?

There was no way he'd go trailing after a girl.

-

At one gathering, a group of well-connected young heirs had gathered together.

They teased Chen Chuang, who had come alone.

“So I hear you've been playing knight in shining armor with some young lady lately, Brother Chuang?”

-

Chen Chuang smiled as he set down his phone.

Meeting the probing gazes around him, he gave a quiet “Mm.”

“That's right. I'm keeping a close eye on her so no one can kidnap her.”]

Part 2

[Xu Bujia is A University's youngest associate professor.

She's not only young, but also pure and beautiful.

After a video of one of her lectures leaked, she went viral online.

-

During a public interview,

a reporter, at the request of countless netizens,

asked Xu Bujia what she looked for in a partner.

Xu Bujia smiled gently

and said softly, “My ideal partner is my husband.”]
