Zhao Nian never expected that the first thing she'd do after starting high school would be to fall for her deskmate.
The deskmate who was still nursing a broken heart and hadn't gotten over his ex-girlfriend, no less.
Lu Ci never expected that the first thing he'd do after starting high school would be to fall for a self-insert romance fan.
One so devoted she'd almost become a nun in real life.
Zhao Nian was heartsick.
Lu Ci lamented his miserable fate.
So one worried that the other still wasn't over his ex and could never love her, while the other worried that past heartbreak had made her unwilling to invest her feelings in real life again. With each fretting over the other, the two embarked on a back-and-forth of unrequited love at Ancheng No. 1 High School.
Wingman Xu Tong: "Honestly, without me, you'd both be alone forever."
·A bubbly girl with a broken heart x a rational, gentle self-insert romance fan. A school story about mutual pining. The pairing is Ci-Nian, and the roles are fixed.
·A story about hurt and healing
·The receiving partner became a self-insert romance fan at the lowest point in her life, relying on an imaginary lover to get through it. She still hadn't stopped being a fan by the time she got together with the pursuing partner (they even met because of her fictional crush). If you can't accept that, please leave.
·An abuser dies in the story (an accidental death, not revenge by the protagonist). If you can't accept that, same as above.
·Contains a little bit of fandom-related material. We recommend looking it up on Baidu Baike as you read. If you can't accept that, same as above.
(Man, why does this story have so many potential triggers?)
Theme: Speaking up for victims of psychological abuse. Life will get better, and the sun will rise again.
