Two people topped Huajiao University's confession board.

Wen Ran, a finance major and playboy who loved racing and beautiful women, changed girlfriends as often as he changed clothes.

Meng Manshan, a cool and aloof beauty from the journalism department, was always as untouchable as a flower on a high peak.

.

At some point, the two, who had never had anything to do with each other, began spending a lot of time together. Everyone waited to see whether the playboy would settle down or the beauty would get her heart broken. What they got instead was Meng Manshan accepting a confession from Wen Ran's... best friend.

.

No one knew that Meng Manshan had gone looking for Wen Ran that night.

It seemed like any girl could be his girlfriend, but he told her, "Meng Manshan, you can't be."

.

And no one knew that Wen Ran had witnessed the whole confession.

That night, he spent hours at the racetrack, chasing the limits of speed like a madman. The night wind scattered his whispered words: "Why couldn't I have been just a little faster?"

They met again during an interview. He was a racing driver with trophies from multiple competitions, and she was a reporter for a well-known TV station.

After she asked the first question on her list, he didn't answer. Instead, he said, "Break up with him and be with me. Didn't you say you liked me?"

.

After that, Wen Ran started showing up in front of her from time to time, even making little covert moves right in front of his best friend.

.

When they were alone, she warned him sternly, "Could you try having a little self-respect?"

But he cornered her and leaned in to whisper, coaxing her, "Why should I care about that? I only want you."

.

At one race, she was covering the event on-site and watched helplessly as Wen Ran's car crashed and burst into flames.

On the way to the hospital with her colleagues, she received an email.

.

[If you're reading this email, it means something has happened to me.]

[I've been rotten from birth, and spent half my life breaking every rule. If I have to name one regret, it's that I was blind and heartless back then, and turned you down.]

.

[First university campus, then the city]

[His changing girlfriends as often as clothes is an exaggeration, and there's a reason for it. (The male lead has never kissed anyone else, and every relationship ended amicably.)]

Theme: Love well.
