Please Stay Three Meters Away from Me

The Ji family has a renowned private academy in Jiangcheng. Wen Tingquan's nouveau riche father racked his brains to get her enrolled, hoping she could marry into a powerful family.

It's hard to fit in with the wealthy. Wen Tingquan is timid, awkward, from a poor family, and ostracized. Everyone says she wants to marry Ji Siyen, the Ji family's heir.

Going to school every day feels like attending a funeral to Wen Tingquan.

At long last, she finds a girl willing to whisper secrets with her. The very next day, Ji Siyen warns her:

A handsome, aloof young man, somewhere between boyhood and adulthood, looks down at the ridiculous girl sprawled at his feet, disheveled and miserable. There's not a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Stay away from my sister."

"And from now on, stay three meters away from me."

Wen Tingquan lies on the ground and looks up. Ji Siyen stands over her, gazing down with cold arrogance. Even the shoe crushing her little cake seems to show how utterly beneath his notice she is.

Wen Tingquan only wants to learn the true art of painting at the Ji family's academy. She has no interest in marrying into a powerful family.

From then on, wherever Ji Siyen appears, Wen Tingquan never sets foot. The farther away, the better.

Even after Wen Tingquan becomes Ji Siyen's wife, she still keeps to the three-meter rule and never crosses the line.

Until one day, Wen Tingquan crosses it.

Ji Siyen corners her against the bedroom wall, his forceful breath filling the space between them.

"Can't we be together?"

"You're the one who told me to stay three meters away."

The cold, proud man laughs in fury and pushes his handsome face toward her. "Come on, hit me hard!"
