Free-spirited dancer x aloof top student
1
Yang Man of No. 10 High School is bold, willful, and gorgeous, the undisputed school belle.
She's like a wild, carefree wind, and everyone at school likes her.
Until the school anniversary, when the aloof top student Jiang Yan cast his vote for someone else in front of everyone, costing Yang Man her recommendation for a dance program.
"Did you offend Jiang Yan? Why is he always picking on you?"
"There's something wrong with him."
Everyone knows Yang Man and Jiang Yan don't get along, from their grudge over that fateful vote to their later rivalry for first place in their grade.
After graduation, everyone thought they would never cross paths again.
Years later, when invitations to a class reunion were sent out, everyone was shocked to discover that they lived at the same address.

In his second year of high school, Jiang Yan transferred from the top-ranked school in the country to No. 10 High School.
With cool, refined features and an air of nobility, he was not only at the top of his class but also a rising star on the national shooting team and a ten-event athlete. He was the undisputed academic genius.
He'd transferred to Ludao because circumstances left him no choice. All he wanted was to get through the college entrance exams and leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible.
One day after school, someone stopped him at the gate.
"Are you brave enough to compete against me in shooting?"
The slender, graceful girl had striking, flamboyant features.
"Not interested."
Jiang Yan frowned, his tone cool.
But the girl grabbed his necklace, pulling them close. Her radiant smile made his heart race.
"Is the top student afraid to lose?"
During that match, the sharpshooter who never missed for the first time let his aim stray from the bullseye.

The year Jiang Yan was banned from competing, Yang Man left Ludao and became a principal dancer.
Yang Man thought they would never meet again.
Years later, she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Yan at a glittering reception.
The former academic genius had never been defeated. Now the youngest jade sculptor in the industry, he was at the height of his success.
He treated her as if she weren't there, indifferent and emotionless, as though he'd long forgotten their past.
At the reception, someone mentioned that they'd gone to the same high school. Yang Man smiled politely.
"I don't remember."
She had ruined his life. Better not to cause him any more trouble.
But all it took was a photo of her having a late-night dinner with her partner.
That night, in the heart of the capital, where every inch of land was worth a fortune,
Yang Man was pinned against the mirror. At the height of their entangled passion, he roughly lifted her chin.
His voice was hoarse and trembling, barely containing his madness.
"I want to carve myself into your soul. Then will you remember me?"
