What? My Archrival Says She Likes Me?

Told through flashbacks: the present and memories are interwoven at the beginning.

(Rebellious, tsundere heiress x aloof top student who says one thing but means another)

Xu Wenwen looks like she has eight hundred rebellious streaks, but in truth she has eight hundred and one. Tell her to go east, and she'll absolutely go west. This rebellious high schooler wakes up one day to discover that she has accidentally entered a parallel universe and become the daughter of A City's famous richest man.

Question: What should you do when you discover you've entered a parallel universe and become rich?

Xu Wenwen: What is there to think about? Of course I should give up, lie flat, and enjoy myself!

Xu Wenwen quickly accepts that she has transmigrated, and transfers to a famous high school in A City at her father's arrangement.

But she never expected to run into her nemesis at this school: Ye Qiuwei.

Ye Qiuwei is perfect in every way. She's beautiful, gets great grades, has a great figure, and is incredibly charming. She has countless admirers, and even the person Xu Wenwen has a crush on has fallen under her spell.

By contrast, Xu Wenwen can't compete with her academically, and is nowhere near her height, either. Their personalities are just as different.

Xu Wenwen is rebellious, gets bad grades, likes to sleep in class and read novels and comics, and is always "borrowing" the fruits of other people's hard work from the night before. In short, when it comes to anything related to studying, Xu Wenwen avoids it whenever she can.

Ye Qiuwei, on the other hand, has held the top spot for years. She's the teacher's favorite and the model daughter in every parent's eyes.

Yet somehow, these two people who have nothing in common become sworn enemies. (At least, that's what Xu Wenwen thinks.)

1. On the first day of school, Xu Wenwen is a few minutes late, and Ye Qiuwei, strict and impartial, writes her name down.

2. Whenever Xu Wenwen tries to "borrow" someone else's homework, Ye Qiuwei always collects it first.

3. The parent-teacher meeting features two highlights: first, Ye Qiuwei is praised for scoring dozens of points above the runner-up; second, the teacher singles out Xu Wenwen, the bottom-ranked failure, for a thorough scolding. But after the meeting, Ye Qiuwei hands her a notebook filled with densely packed notes. Mockery, sheer mockery. Is she showing off how hard she's worked?

4. When Xu Wenwen finally works up the courage to confess to her crush, that person confesses to Ye Qiuwei right in front of her.

All these experiences make Xu Wenwen realize once and for all that someone as gentle as water and someone as fiery as fire could never get along. When the two of them are together, all anyone sees is what a good-for-nothing she is. So Xu Wenwen decides to stay away from Ye Qiuwei.

But when Xu Wenwen gradually begins to distance herself, Ye Qiuwei forcefully grabs her wrist. "Xu Wenwen, I like you."

Xu Wenwen stares at her in astonishment. What is her sworn enemy up to now?

But the other person involved tells a very different story from Xu Wenwen:

"Writing her name down? I just wanted to tease Wenwen. I crossed it out as soon as she left!"

"It's true I collected the homework, but why did she ask someone else to lend her theirs instead of asking me?" Ye Qiuwei looks aggrieved. "My grades are way better than that person's. If she was going to borrow homework, she should have borrowed mine!"

"Ever since the parent-teacher meeting, Wenwen's been ignoring me. I thought it might be because her grades were so bad, so I spent several days making a study plan for her. But she glanced at it and put it down."

"That guy wasn't a good person at all, but luckily he was after me, so Wenwen wouldn't get hurt. (^_^)v"

Theme: Keep a positive attitude through hardship, and you'll eventually break through the fog and find a new beginning.
