[Blurb]

1.

Not long after the semester began, Luo Shu got herself a boyfriend. In her roommate's words, Fang Qingzhuo was something else: his family had been in business for three generations, he was a walking golden signboard at Shenzhen University, a permanent fixture on the campus confession wall, and top-tier in both looks and personality.

But over the month they'd been together, this darling of the heavens had been hot and cold, like an indistinct fog that might vanish without a trace the moment the wind blew.

On Singles' Day, staring at the pinned chat that was still as silent as a deep pool, Luo Shu reflected on her situation and wondered how to break up with him gracefully. Just then, a call appeared on her screen.

"Where are you?"

Glancing at the lively mixer in front of her, Luo Shu guiltily answered with two words: "My dorm."

As soon as she said them, an inexplicable chill ran down her back.

The reply came quickly, full of suspicion: "Are you sure? Then was that jerk sitting across from you and staring at you also your roommate?"

At the same time, amid the noisy crowd, an arm possessively hooked around her waist. The pleasant voice that should have been coming from her phone instead sounded right behind her head, sending a shiver through her.

"Luo Shu, I'm still breathing, you know."

But the fog still cleared.

One day, Luo Shu accidentally overheard her boyfriend proudly telling someone else, "Don't worry. I wouldn't be interested in a woman like Luo Shu, who has ten guys on the go at once."

The ridiculous thing was, in this absurd world, she really did have "ten other boyfriends."

2.

Fang Qingzhuo first heard the name Luo Shu during a gaming duo match. His teammate and buddy couldn't stop praising the newly crowned campus belle. The guy on the other end of the screen extolled her to the skies, while Fang Qingzhuo remained unmoved and deftly scored the first kill of the match.

The next time he heard about her was in the men's dorm, where another buddy had fallen head over heels and started a secret online relationship with her. Fang Qingzhuo couldn't help but start paying attention to her.

The most recent time was at the hospital. She'd toyed with his buddy, taken his money and his heart, then driven him to do all sorts of foolish things for her. Fang Qingzhuo thought that a villain would eventually meet their match.

But what goes around comes around, and it turned out he'd taken things too far.

When they met again, he trapped her right in front of him.

"Besides hugging and kissing you, what else did he do?"

"..."

"Could you fall for me again and get back together with me?"

"..."

"You can lie to me. You can keep in touch with him, too. Just remember to do it behind my back. Don't let me find out."

"..."

"Once a month."

"..."

"Once a week, Luo Shu. I really can't let you do it any more often."

"In your dreams."

[Reader Advisory]

1. This is a groveling-exes story. If that's not your thing, don't read it. Peace and love!

2. The male lead isn't perfect. He doesn't have an all-knowing perspective, and some of his early actions may be unlikable. Everything serves the plot, so if you can't accept that, please read with caution. Don't judge the values of the story from a single detail. And if you decide to drop it, there's no need to tell me. One more thing: later on, the female lead trains the male lead into an obedient puppy! P.S. If you like wholesome, righteous characters, try my completed neighboring novel. There are no misunderstandings, breakups, or melodrama, just a happy ending!

3. Is this a dual-purity couple? Absolutely: both leads are virgins!

4. Is the writing any good? A little, maybe. (Sincere face.) But not much!

1.

As the student council representative, Duan Yifu spent all three years of high school either preventing young love or catching students dating.

The first time he caught Mo Deling dumping someone was on the grass during PE: "You don't drink Mixue Bingcheng. We're not right for each other."

The second time was in the corridor after evening study: "Your Adam's apple is too small. I'm not into that."

The third time was at the Hundred-Day Oath Ceremony: "Your surname is Wang. Our birth charts don't match."

Duan Yifu was outraged. Could the reasons get any more ridiculous?

The most recent time, she finally had a serious reason. Unfortunately, it happened to him.

"Baby, now that we've graduated, let's break up."

2.

The next time Duan Yifu saw her was at a deafening nightclub. Mo Deling had come with her fiance, whom she was preparing to marry, to a social gathering a friend had arranged.

On the DJ platform surrounded by beautiful women stood a man with a cold expression, curly hair, and tattooed arms. He looked nothing like the exemplary boyfriend she'd dumped years ago. The Duan Yifu she remembered was a brilliant student, well-rounded in every way, but in private, he'd cried right along with her.

The sight of him backlit, eyes full of tears and looking utterly pitiful, awakened a nameless, dormant kink deep within her.

Just after midnight, she cornered him in the hallway.

"Tattoos?"

"Temporary."

"The hair?"

"One-time dye."

"I don't know those women, either," Duan Yifu clarified before she could ask anything else.

Mo Deling only smiled. "I was just curious and asking casually. You think I'm jealous?"

The air around them seemed to freeze. Duan Yifu knew she'd played him again, and was just about to turn and leave when her next question derailed all his thoughts.

"Duan Yifu, do you still cry in bed?"

After that, the hotel became the only place they met.
