Ming Xia and Chen Ji have been sworn enemies since childhood, picking fights whenever they meet.
They have competed over grades ever since middle school, all the way through the college entrance exams.
Ming Xia nearly worked herself into bags under her eyes, but finally became the biggest dark horse in the city in the year of the college entrance exams, taking first place.
At her graduation banquet, she thought she would finally get to gloat in front of Chen Ji.
But Chen Ji was so full of himself that he didn't even show up.
A week later, Chen Ji made his debut with the song "She Doesn't Know," sweeping the major music charts and becoming an overnight sensation.
Ming Xia: ...Fine, so you found another way to win, huh?

After graduating with her master's degree, Ming Xia settled into a quiet life and chose to return to her hometown to teach high school.
She refused to deal with all kinds of bizarre blind dates, until her fed-up mother finally packed her off to a cheesy matchmaking show.
Her mother's excuse: "They're all high-quality men."
Unexpectedly, Ming Xia runs into Chen Ji, now the top-tier star of the music scene.
Ming Xia looks him up and down. Though she has to admit he's certainly a catch, she still can't resist mocking him: "Did you join a matchmaking show because nobody wants you?"
The handsome man with exquisite features curls his lips into a humorless smile. "Same to you."
They hurt each other, but hurt themselves even more.
The first time they meet in years, the air between them is already full of sparks.
Then Chen Ji goes too far.
- A master's graduate returning from overseas gives Ming Xia a love letter, but Chen Ji intercepts it.
- A sweet younger guy invites Ming Xia to a candlelit dinner, and Chen Ji forces his way in as the third wheel.
In short, wherever Ming Xia's admirers appear, he drives them off.
One day, Ming Xia finally loses patience and corners Chen Ji in an empty stairwell.
Ming Xia: "What exactly are you trying to do?"
At 187 centimeters tall, Chen Ji looks down at her through half-lidded eyes.
With his stunning face right in front of her, Ming Xia's bravado fades. "You keep ruining things for me. If I can't find a boyfriend, are you going to make it up to me?"
Chen Ji looks down at her, falls silent for a moment, then answers calmly, "Yeah. I'll make it up to you."
-
Everyone knows that top-tier star Chen Ji has been secretly in love with someone for years.
One day, while cleaning out her inbox, Ming Xia finds an email that has lain forgotten for years.
It's the original version of "She Doesn't Know," from long before the song's official release, and a young man's unabashed confession.
-Signed: Chen Ji.
#Could my sworn enemy actually have a crush on me?!
#I still haven't gotten even for him sabotaging my love life!
