Blurb:

Xiang Yu wakes up one morning to find herself six years in the future. Zhou Songyan, who has been at odds with her since kindergarten, wakes up at the same time.

It feels like the sky has fallen.

She also discovers that they are married and have a daughter.

Xiang Yu looks horrified. Could the world be ending six years from now, with humanity facing extinction, and has she reluctantly, listlessly, and bitterly married Zhou Songyan for the future of mankind?

In everyone else's eyes, they are a loving couple.

Xiang Yu cannot believe it. What on earth happened in the past for her to fall in love with Zhou Songyan after hating him?

She was the happiest person when she found out Zhou Songyan's unrequited crush had failed and he was unlucky in love. She had not only gleefully discussed it with her friends, but also looked forward to the next five exams, big and small, sure she would effortlessly take first place and steal the show.

Now, with their sweet, clever daughter and relatives eyeing their property, the two agree to deal with outsiders first, then each other.

In an interview with Finance Weekly, the reporter asks all sorts of questions about their compatibility as a couple, and Zhou Songyan answers fluently.

Reporter: "It's clear that you and your wife have a wonderful relationship, Mr. Zhou!"

Xiang Yu and Zhou Songyan meet each other's eyes. Seeing the meaningful look in his, she thinks: How disgusting. He secretly investigated me behind my back just to win!

Zhou Songyan says he's had feelings for her since they were students. The interview video gets a little popular, and netizens in the comments happily ship them, showering them with extravagant praise.

After watching it, Xiang Yu gets goosebumps. She rolls over and shakes Zhou Songyan awake on the other side of the bed, complaining, "You acted so convincingly, and your insults were so filthy."

Zhou Songyan says lazily, "I wasn't lying."

Xiang Yu nods perfunctorily. She understands. Of course he has feelings for her. They've been silently fighting over first place in their grade for ages!

Later, after the outside threat is dealt with, she waits for Zhou Songyan to bring up divorce. But, as usual, he looks after their daughter at breakfast and thoughtfully reminds her what to keep in mind at the evening banquet.

He doesn't seem like someone who's about to divorce her. She suddenly remembers what he said that night. Could he have meant that he has good feelings for her?

Aren't they rivals? How can they be in love?
