Fang Hexiao is the universally adored goddess of China's national diving team. Everyone likes her, except Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan thinks Fang Hexiao is fake, always putting on a smile for everyone. And having grown up hearing stories about her, Mu Yuan has always resented her.
One day, Fang Hexiao accidentally catches Mu Yuan at her lowest.
After that, Mu Yuan can't even be bothered to keep up appearances, and lets her temper show whenever Fang Hexiao is around.
Then one day, Mu Yuan hears that her coach wants her to partner with Fang Hexiao in synchronized diving. In that moment, she feels like her whole world is about to collapse.
#I Fell for My Nemesis After Becoming Her Partner

At first, everyone thought that two geniuses born in the same era were doomed to the tragedy of Yu being born when Liang already lived.
But when the two of them stood hand in hand on the podium, draped in their country's flag and representing the highest honor, all the rumors fell apart.
The broadcast director cuts to the matching bracelets on their wrists. At the post-event interview, a reporter asks, "Is your relationship really as people have speculated?"
Mu Yuan raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Then, as if remembering something, she gives a soft laugh. "Oh, right. Fang Hexiao and I don't get along."
The audience: "Who laughs that happily while talking about their nemesis?!"
That night, Mu Yuan calls her big sister's name again and again, begging for mercy. In a sulky, aggrieved voice, she says, "I only meant we don't get along in that particular way. Who knew someone who looks so gentle would be like this in private?"
