The first time Ran Chunjiu saw Cui Xiyu was behind a shabby, leaky little house.
Even crouching on the ground, the man, who stood well over six feet tall, had an imposing presence. His half-long black hair fell over his eyes. His fingers, pinching the scarlet flame between his lips, were long and slender, with prominent knuckles.
Hearing a noise, the man looked up.
His eyes were cool and narrow, slightly narrowed as if sizing up prey that had invaded his territory.
The ruins, bricks, weeds, wildness, and flame between his lips all ran together into a dotted line stretching endlessly into the distance.
It was only after they got to know each other that Ran Chunjiu discovered the truth.
This unruly, stunningly handsome man was the legendary top talent in the school's art department.
Underground rock shows that drew huge crowds, a London street art exhibition covered by the media, cover model for fashion magazines...
But the gorgeous man's type was men. He was a well-known gay man.
Ran Chunjiu figured that the wild stallion vibe of art students like him was nothing like the strong formaldehyde smell that clung to a biology student like her.
Cui Xiyu stood beside her and shot her a cold glance. "What do you mean, wild stallion vibe? If you can't talk properly, shut up."
Recently, Ran Chunjiu had fallen for a handsome junior from the School of Humanities. His abstinent aura had her utterly obsessed, leaving her completely beside herself.
Believing that sincerity deserved sincerity, the great poet Ran racked her brains to write the junior an eight-hundred-character love letter. He returned it without mercy, saying he couldn't understand it.
Cui, the handsome man, had been run ragged and annoyed by Ran Chunjiu all day. At last, he couldn't take it anymore and rewrote the letter for her, turning it into a masterpiece with quotes from Shakespeare and Shelley.
Ran Chunjiu's eyes instantly filled with tears. "You're the best guy friend I could ever ask for!"
She had always been an optimist.
With Cui Xiyu's help, surely it was only a matter of time before she won over that handsome junior!
That is, until one inexplicable rainy night, Cui Xiyu wrapped an arm around her waist, pinned her against a corner, and kissed her.
A gorgeous man with eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs stood before her, his face a work of divine craftsmanship. As a biology student, Ran Chunjiu just couldn't resist. Half-heartedly, she gave in.
Afterward, that bastard Cui Xiyu showed no sign of remorse. With a cigarette between his teeth, he leaned close to her ear and asked maliciously, "Darling, does your junior kiss you like that, too?"
Optimistic Ran Chunjiu could no longer stay optimistic.
A looks-obsessed, science-minded, completely straight woman x a domineering, gorgeous male art student
A cheerful, sunny woman with no ulterior motives x a possessive, scheming man
"Welcome to a world where romance never dies. I am your dream-maker."
