Spring Tide with Rain

"Cool, aloof, possessive, and gentle x A gorgeous drama queen who always has a sharp comeback and never lets things eat away at her"

One day, a gorgeous drama queen with a fortune to her name goes bankrupt. Her old enemies come knocking one after another to settle their scores.

Enemy No. 1: stunning, brilliant, highly educated, cool, and quiet.

She says she'll forgive Miss Situ for every past offense, no strings attached, including but not limited to slander, online harassment, stalking, and all kinds of shameless behavior, as long as Miss Situ gets together with her. Then she makes the following declarations:

"Don't hate me, okay?"

"Today, I'm standing here feeling sad for you. I hate you so much, and I swear I'll never see you again. But I know that tomorrow, before the sun even rises, I'll go on loving you again."

Enemy No. 2: black hair, red nails, a black heart, and breathtaking beauty.

She says she's very sorry to be the culprit who caused Miss Situ's bankruptcy. Of course, if Miss Situ will go to America and marry her, she'll transfer all her assets into Miss Situ's name as an apology. Then she makes the following declarations:

"When I do something, I always give it my all."

"Even if all I'm doing is waiting for a chance to be chosen."

The gorgeous drama queen thinks it over, dumps Enemy No. 2, who keeps wanting to become her mother without the pain of childbirth, and decisively chooses the highly educated, highly intelligent, tall Shen Moqing. They get their happy ending.

On a winter night, the wind was cold and the snow fell heavily.

The railway tracks stretched on and on. Snowflakes clung to the girl's hair as she stood on the platform beneath the dim yellow lights, gazing toward the approaching train.

Everyone in the story would leave this place, then come from somewhere far away.

Coming soon

Xia Ran is a guitarist. She's incredibly timid, afraid of people and strangers.

Though she's timid, she's always dreamed of starting a band and dazzling the audience onstage.

In reality, she never dares to take her guitar out of the house.

She's always cowering in the corner of the classroom. She doesn't even dare to speak loudly.

One day, the school band needs a guitarist. She gathers her courage, takes out her guitar, and gets ready to audition.

*

Xia Ran never gets to fulfill her dream. She's in a car accident.

When she wakes up, she discovers that she has transmigrated into a book, becoming a minor female character in The Moonlight of the Elite Academy.

This character has done nothing but cause trouble. She offended the female lead's love interest, Lin Ziqiu, the school's aloof moonlight and student council president; secretly ripped up the pretty dress of the female lead's love interest, a delicate, sickly younger sister from a blended family with no blood relation to her; put cockroaches in the drink of a doomed female love interest, the red-haired school bully; and stole the gold-rimmed glasses of the school's gentle but scheming female doctor.

Because of all her troublemaking, the character meets a miserable end.

Her parents abandon her completely and send her abroad. She spends her days drinking and partying, then dies alone of alcohol poisoning.

But none of that matters. What matters is this:

This character...

Is the school's band...

Guitarist and vocalist!

She's the guitarist and vocalist of the Charis band!!

*

Everyone notices that the guitarist, whose playing is unbelievably awful and whose temper is unbelievably bad, has suddenly become everyone's darling.

Someone passing through the woods sees the student council president, face cold, handing Xia Ran a hot drink and reminding her that her period is coming soon, so she shouldn't eat anything cold. Then she asks whether Xia Ran is free for a date this weekend.

The red-haired school bully always talks about Xia Ran with impatience, as if she wishes Xia Ran would disappear from the world. But one day, someone sees Xia Ran sitting properly behind her on her motorcycle. The bad-tempered red-haired girl asks her seriously, "Aren't your legs cold like that?"

The gentle, popular, pitiful younger sister who is always bullied by her older sister is constantly waiting outside Xia Ran's classroom. Whenever someone asks, she blushes and says shyly, "Xiao Ruan is waiting for her big sister to finish class."

Even the school doctor, who always seems gentle and polite but is actually distant and cold toward everyone, is seen stroking Xia Ran's hair and saying tenderly, "You've gotten so thin. Remember to take your medicine on time."

The students: "????" What's going on?

&

Everyone notices that Xia Ran has changed.

She's become timid, weak, and cautious, as if anyone could bully her.

What's going on?

Why don't the people who used to be bullied get revenge?

Then, one day, Charis begins its official tour.

The girl takes her guitar and steps onto the stage.

Brilliant clouds, violent winds, vibrating strings, and the girl's eyes shining like lightning.

She's so breathtaking, dazzling, and radiant!

With the wind and clouds surging, the whole world becomes her willing servant in that moment.

*

Who could fail to love her?

Everyone loves her.

*

"Aren't you worried about your future?"

"Outside the band, I don't care."

"What about love?"

"..."

Facing the gazes coming at her from every direction, Xia Ran guiltily looks down at her toes. "Emmmm..."
