1. The first time Su Guiyue saw Jiang Xingzhi was on a stormy day.

Class had just ended. She had no umbrella and was sheltering from the rain beneath the teaching building.

Her roommate, the campus belle, had no umbrella either and was waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up.

Soon, Jiang Xingzhi arrived, and her roommate threw herself into his arms.

Through the hazy curtain of rain, the tall, slender man caught Su Guiyue's eye. Just then, he lifted his gaze, cool as snow.

Su Guiyue's heart stirred.

2. On a day off, it was pouring again outside. Su Guiyue was woken by her roommate arguing with her boyfriend and threatening to break up.

It wasn't the first time.

Su Guiyue pulled back the curtains and looked down.

In the downpour, Jiang Xingzhi stood stiffly upright without an umbrella, drenched from head to toe, alone as if he would wait until the end of time.

Su Guiyue went downstairs and held her umbrella out in front of him. He was so tall that her arm began to ache. She asked him, "Will you come with me?"

She hadn't expected an answer, but Jiang Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long moment before reaching out to take her umbrella and lifting it higher, making room for them to stand close together.

"Where to?"

3. At S University, Jiang Xingzhi was a favored son of heaven, aloof and refined, and everyone knew he and the campus belle were the perfect couple.

Su Guiyue was a notorious bad woman who specialized in seducing other people's boyfriends. She had a chaotic private life and a terrible reputation.

Even after Jiang Xingzhi and the campus belle broke up, no one would have linked the two of them.

Until one day, someone saw Jiang Xingzhi kneel on one knee and tie Su Guiyue's shoelace with his eyes lowered.

Many years later, Su Guiyue finally learned that Jiang Xingzhi had paid his girlfriend to pretend to be his girlfriend for her sake.

P.S. The heroine has an emotional disorder. She only likes people who don't like her, and has never seduced anyone.
