A gloomy, tsundere bottom x a sunny, scheming top
Jiang Yu is the archetypal gloomy loner. She doesn't socialize, take the initiative, or draw attention to herself.
The thing she does most often is nap in an empty spot on the school rooftop.
Of course, what she enjoys most is lurking in this hidden corner where no one can find her, spying on everyone's secrets.
There's nothing new under the sun.
The filth and dirty secrets got boring after a while, until one day Jiang Yu discovered someone interesting.
Nan Li, the top student at their school.
A model student.
Outgoing, generous, beautiful, and kind, with a clear, radiant presence.
She usually spends her time making friends with everyone and collecting all kinds of scholarships at school.
A seemingly flawless person, without a single imperfection even under a magnifying glass.
Maybe Jiang Yu had maxed out some unknown gossip-watching buff when it came to Nan Li, because she always seemed to catch her in the act of being nothing like the person she appeared to be.
1. Faced with a difficult customer, she patiently kept up a smile for over half an hour.
With a deft flick of her fingers, she pulled a little trick.
The next day, the customer personally hung a thank-you banner at the shop.
2. Faced with a delinquent girl who bullied others, she didn't fight back or talk back.
Then she followed up with a smooth little combo.
Without losing a single soldier, she sent the delinquent girl meekly packing back to her hometown.
It was quite a show, with plenty to admire.
Who knew how many times it had happened by now?
After tossing aside her melon rind, Jiang Yu was satisfied and about to sneak away when someone hooked a finger into the back of her collar.
She turned around, stiff as a board, to see Nan Li wearing a dangerous smile as she gently asked the gossip addict who never missed a chance to watch the drama unfold:
"Did you enjoy today's performance?"
