The One She Doesn't Want to Take Responsibility For

Genius Troublemaker Girl x Frail Honor Student | Intense Push and Pull | Mutual Redemption | He Falls for Her First | Rebellious and Bold vs. Gentle and Steadfast

1.

Yu Qianhuai had been rebellious all her life. She skipped class, dated, talked back to teachers, and did it all without exception.

That year, she climbed over the wall behind the school store every week to feel the free, carefree breeze beyond it. She thought she would always stay so spirited.

Then she fell hard. She failed the college entrance exam, and the legend of her perfect score in a single subject was drowned out by her thoroughly average overall score.

She fell from the top, became just another face in the crowd, and was forgotten by everyone.

Her enemies gleefully spread the news, already guessing which third-tier college she would attend.

She didn't care. She dragged her suitcase back to her alma mater, Changning No. 7 High School.

Before anyone could finish being shocked, they were floored by the news:

Three days later, Xia Gaoyan, the top student in her class, withdrew from Zhejiang University and joined the same repeat-year class as her.

That day, Yu Qianhuai cornered him against a wall, her voice as cold as ice.

"I only slept with you once. Why are you taking it seriously?"

The boy's breath quivered. His fair cheeks flushed bright red, and it took him a long moment to force out a reply.

"I'm repeating the year to get into Tsinghua."

Only later did Yu Qianhuai learn there had been more to what he said.

"...And to be with you."

2.

Xia Gaoyan had followed the rules all his life: study hard, improve every day. He and Yu Qianhuai were polar opposites.

He couldn't understand why anyone would be so rebellious, as untamable as a wild horse, squandering their talent as if it were worthless paper and flaunting themselves without restraint. Her brilliance stung his eyes.

Later, she helped him drive off some troublemakers, get his things back, and told him to live for himself.

So he did the two most outrageous things of his life:

First, he fell for Yu Qianhuai.

Second, he withdrew from Zhejiang University for her.

He never regretted either one.

3.

At the start of their senior year, rumors that the two couldn't stand each other spread like wildfire. Their admirers seized every opportunity, and one rumor followed another, one misunderstanding piled atop the next.

Jealousy bursting out of him, he confronted her, the corners of his eyes red. "What are we, exactly?"

Yu Qianhuai's long lashes trembled. She said nothing, grabbed him, pulled him behind the bookshelves, and silenced him with a kiss.

As their lips and tongues entwined, one of her admirers called her name from just around the corner.

Desire surged through Xia Gaoyan, and he kissed her back with fierce abandon.

The gentle breeze and drizzle became a raging storm.

It was the first time she had felt him take control.

She had always thought it was just one accidental night.

Her last wish before she "died," his fleeting affair.

Nothing to do with "love."

But he gazed at her with deep, watery eyes, kissed her, traced the tip of her tongue, and threaded his fingers through her hair. "I never planned to let you go."

■ A takes-no-prisoners troublemaker who hits back when provoked x a young man who seems amiable but is gentle in truth, and only she gets to see that side of him

■ ENTP (female) x INFJ (male)

■ The Lightsea pairing: a Fallen God and a Heretic

#PS: This is a story about how someone who "never takes the usual road" draws in someone who "always takes the usual road," helping him cross the wall around his heart. In the end, when she has nowhere left to go, the one who "always takes the usual road" helps her find her way back.

Reader's Guide:

1. The female and male leads in the blurb are both first-timers. It happens during the summer after graduation. They're both adults and have graduated, on the verge of starting college.

2. The female lead has a slight everybody-loves-her quality, so please don't act shocked if people like or admire her. She has an ex, the school heartthrob, but they weren't a good match. Along with setbacks in her relationships, she suddenly fell ill during the college entrance exam and didn't perform well.

3. The female lead is a genuine problem student, with a troubled past and plenty of flaws early on. Don't ignore that characterization, then come here to complain. You can criticize my writing if you don't like it, but don't criticize the female lead, or I'll delete your comments!

4. This story favors the female lead and puts the male lead through a little angst. He falls for her first, back when they were still in the same class, while she doesn't realize her feelings until much later. The male lead may seem rather hard done by early on, so readers who are extremely protective of male leads, please stay away!

5. They're each other's only partner, but not each other's first kiss. The male lead is the only one for whom it's his first kiss. He belongs to the female lead body and soul, and he is extremely devoted!

Upcoming pseudo-incest novel: A Guide to the Doomsday Gene (Siblings)

Surviving in the Lowland District is no easy feat, but for Fu Yejin, it's not hard.

Whether slipping away in a flashy escape during a gang brawl, effortlessly dodging traffic in an aerial flight lane, or narrowly surviving one disaster after another, she finds it all easy. Her friends often marvel at how tough she is, joking that she has 999 lives.

Only Fu Yejin knows it's because she has a "gift."

In 2078, gene-editing technology made a quantum leap, ushering human society into the post-genetic era. Seventy percent of the world's population underwent genetic modification.

At the same time, crime related to genetic modification soared. The abuse of activators, theft of consciousness, and illegal genetic modifications were rapidly eating away at this fast-developing world.

Genetic modification expanded the boundaries of humanity, but it also fueled people's desires.

The government urgently established the Biosecurity Bureau to deal specifically with the black-market crimes arising from it.

Fu Yejin resolutely enrolled in the Zhiliansheng Institute of Bioengineering, becoming a proud trainee gene hunter.

She wanted to put her "gift" to use.

During her internship, Fu Yejin was assigned to a bio-enforcement inspection team. She went into the field with her seniors and peers to catch genetic criminals, until she encountered someone she never expected: he was sick, crazy, and dark, and a lock of white hair, like hers, streaked through his black hair.

The young man tore off his liquid-metal handcuffs and smiled brightly at her.

"Sis, come with me, or I'll destroy the world. Pick one."

His voice was light, but carried a chilling power that seemed to steal one's soul.

Fu Yejin was utterly astonished.

"Yu Chen... You're still alive."
