Reunion after years apart | Rekindled romance | A playboy turns over a new leaf

-

Yanda University's Law School is famous for three things: its high scores and difficult admissions, its overwhelming number of female students, and its abundance of beautiful women.

The male students from other departments aren't the only ones who dream of dating them. Students from several nearby universities often try to poach them, too.

Among them, the department's belle, Xi Xue, is the hardest to pursue. She always wears a frosty expression and keeps everyone at arm's length. So plenty of people who can't have her sourly badmouth her, calling her a fake snob or saying that aside from her pretty face, she's dull as dishwater.

But no one could imagine who might actually win the department belle's heart.

Until one night at a university gala, You Zhao, the equally famous playboy from the School of Management, took her hand.

-

Xi Xue never thought she would see You Zhao again.

"Hello, You Zhao." Compared with the telltale fluster she couldn't hide, he seemed especially distant in every gesture, as if he'd never known her and she were just a stranger.

Well, even though she'd been the one to break up with him first, how could someone like him possibly stop at her?

Xi Xue suppressed the faint flicker of excitement in her heart, regained her usual composure, and took his hand. "Hello, I'm Xi Xue."

-

Later, at a blind date arranged by mutual friends, Xi Xue waited in the coffee shop from opening until closing, but her date never showed.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw You Zhao standing beside a roadside tree, staring intently at her. She had no idea how long he'd been watching.

Xi Xue looked surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Are you that unhappy to see me?"

Under the dim streetlights in the deepening night, You Zhao pressed her against the wall, his grip on her hand tightening. "Am I really that terrible? So terrible that you'd rather go on a blind date with a stranger than spend a couple of minutes making it up to me?"

Princess Syndrome x Knight Syndrome | Married first, love later | Angsty, sweet romance

Jiang Tingyu is an obscure actress on the verge of being cast as a background extra.

A netizen's blunt review: Pretty face, terrible acting. She should switch careers and focus on being a pretty prop.

Jiang Tingyu's agent: Likes it wholeheartedly.

If she weren't saddled with massive debt, who'd want to work in show business?

Jiang Tingyu scooped up a spoonful of cold boxed food and chewed it once, then again, before spitting it out.

It was too greasy and awful to swallow.

"Miss Jiang still thinks she's the young lady of Wenjiang Manor, huh?" The actress playing the third female lead glanced at the boxed meal in her hand, making no effort to hide her contempt.

Jiang Tingyu wanted to change her attitude, so she forced a smile that looked even worse than crying.

She really wasn't suited for this line of work, and she couldn't kick her rotten princess habits, either.

The words slipped out before she could stop them: "What's it to you?"

"Just you wait." The third female lead knocked the boxed meal out of her hand, and that night, they added a scene to the schedule in which a young lady slaps her maid.

Jiang Tingyu played the maid.

Who had lied to her back then, saying that once you got into show business, you could just lie around and earn 2.08 million a day? Fine, she hadn't made any money, but why did people manage to take a swipe at her wherever she went?

"How about we go have a meal with the investors?" Her agent looked completely righteous, the exact opposite of how he'd sounded when he suggested it a moment ago.

"Or what about your old friends? Surely there's someone you can ask for help?"

People flock to whoever has something to offer. Her life had once been bustling with people, but now she was utterly alone.

"No one." Jiang Tingyu pointed at the page on her agent's phone, where the number eleven trending topic on Weibo read: #Liang Heir to Take Over Tianyu#.

"And he's got a grudge against me, too." Liang Jianyan, who was about to become her boss.

-

Liang Jianyan was known throughout Rongcheng as a refined gentleman.

A favored son of heaven, a brilliant young man, a man of impeccable virtue...

The media had piled countless glowing labels in front of his name.

Women who wanted to be Mrs. Liang could have formed a line all the way to France.

"My wife is a beautiful and charming woman." In his first public interview, Liang Jianyan made no effort to hide his wedding ring.

Liang Jianyan was married. The hearts of young women shattered everywhere.

"Couldn't he praise me a little more?" Jiang Tingyu grumbled as she closed the livestream.

Her agent sighed. "Your Highness, if you weren't carrying his baby, he'd have blacklisted you by now."

Saving the princess is a knight's destiny.
