"What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done?"
Jing Yao opened the trending topic and calmly typed a sentence: "I stole my 'best friend's' boyfriend."

Jing Yao and Chen Jia had been friends for seven years.
Jing Yao clearly remembered how, during the days after her breakup, Chen Jia invited her to her new apartment.
Chen Jia showed off her Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Harry Winston jewelry, bragging to Jing Yao, "He Yiqian bought these for me. He gave me this apartment, too. My boyfriend is seriously loaded."
Jing Yao took a sip of cola, turned to her, and asked, "You're telling me all this in such detail. Aren't you afraid I'll steal him from you?"
Chen Jia was clearly taken aback, then waved her off mockingly. "Oh, he would never be interested in you."
Then Jing Yao really did make a move on He Yiqian.

Ten years ago, a love letter Jing Yao had written to someone else was accidentally delivered to He Yiqian.
The day he returned it, she took it from him, held the pink envelope between two fingers, and waved it before his eyes. She smiled brightly. "Thanks, campus heartthrob."
Ten years later, she cornered him in a narrow alley and provocatively undid two buttons at his collar. "Want to give us a try?"
Reader beware:
1. The female lead didn't set out to steal the male lead. The friendship between her and the female rival is extremely, extremely fake.
2. Looking for something thrilling? A change of pace now and then can be fun.
3. The leads were never secretly in love with each other. Their feelings develop over time.
4. Don't judge the characters' values without reading the actual story. If it's not for you, don't read it.
5. Friendly discussion is welcome. Comments that go too far, especially harsh criticism of the female lead, will be deleted.
