Sensitive, stubborn, and poor girl × healing-type favored son of Heaven
A bitter, competitive love story about stealing someone else's partner
Primarily set on campus, with a touch of online gaming
/If your snow-white hue had once fallen on my branches/
Jiang Chun only wanted to marry her high school boyfriend as soon as possible.
She had no romantic fantasies about marriage, only a longing for a secure life.
So, on her very first day of college, after traveling 2,800 kilometers from home, she decided to cut off all other romantic possibilities.
She could ignore her useless, bad-tempered boyfriend, but seeing how timid and submissive she was made Yu Hu furious.
Invited to lend his support, Yu Hu was placed unquestioningly in the center of the spotlight. As he listened to the flattery filling the room, he clenched his fist behind the screen.
Why should he meddle? She was someone else's girlfriend.
Then one day, by chance, Yu Hu saw that "someone else's girlfriend" on campus.
She was clever and resilient, yet spent her days distant and aloof, like a figure standing in the middle of a stream.
Self-respect and wicked thoughts fought back and forth inside him. He admitted he had bad intentions.
She had wings strong enough to weather the storms at sea. That tiny harbor was no longer any use to her.
"She's a little different with me."
His best friend perked up, grinning like a proud aunt. The man who'd been single his whole life had finally fallen in love.
"She usually won't even speak loudly, but she dares to snap at me."
To Jiang Chun, Yu Hu was carefree and easygoing, raised in the lap of luxury. No matter how sensitive and overthought she was, he could always handle her.
Most importantly, he was in poor health and probably couldn't keep up with much.
She never expected that one day, after they became a couple, this seemingly harmless, frail man would pin her wrist against the wall. His nimble fingers traced circle after circle in her palm, making her whole body tingle with helpless sensitivity. Stubbornly, she turned her face away.
He admired her angry expression, lifted her chin between two fingers, and leaned close enough for his breath to fall on her.
"If I beat you, we'll go public. Dare to take me on?"
Only then did Jiang Chun realize he was a bad man pretending to be a puppy so he could eat the kitten.
If Heaven shuts the door and locks the window, then tear off the roof.

To avenge her, Yu Hu grabbed that guy by the collar and beat him up.
By the time Jiang Chun hurried over, the one who'd been beaten was already gone. Yu Hu lay half-reclined on the bed, clutching his chest as he weakly said:
"Your ex-boyfriend hit me too hard. My heart doesn't feel right."
Afraid something might happen to him, Jiang Chun clung to him, on the verge of tears.
Unable to bear seeing her cry, he reached out and stroked her cheek.
"Could you kiss me?"

One day, the top-ranked player on the leaderboard, a champion who'd held first place for years, actually begged in the public chat:
"Anyone have spare quest items? I want to use them to make my girlfriend happy."
A friend asked curiously, "You sure you want them? I've got one."
No one replied. Passersby kindly warned them:
Don't bother. He's been posting in public chat for ages, just showing off his girlfriend.
