Sweet, well-behaved girl x bad-tempered playboy | 1v1, both sexually inexperienced

In her sophomore year of high school, Jiang Zhi was in a car accident. She lost her parents, became deaf, and her once-pure, pretty face was ruined. The pearl was now covered in dust. She moved in with Auntie Li and began living under someone else's roof, gaining a nominal older brother in the process.

He had a terrible temper, was arrogant and unruly, and couldn't stand her.

She was gentle and obedient, always giving way. At last, she got into college and left, only to die a tragic death in a foreign land.

Reborn, she wanted to make the most of this life.

But Auntie Li's depression flared up, and she took her own life. With her dying breath, she begged Jiang Zhi to help Bian Ye and stop him from going down a path of no return.

Bound by a debt of gratitude, Jiang Zhi obediently agreed and earnestly urged him to study.

But because of his dislike for her, his clueless friends took advantage of the situation to humiliate her, making her suffer terribly.

Jiang Zhi endured it again and again, holding on and refusing to give up.

Until Auntie Li's death anniversary, when she went to persuade him to come home from the gaudy nightlife, only for him to fling away the flowers she had carefully prepared for Auntie Li.

The boy was proud and unruly, his eyes full of malice. "Stop pretending to be so sincere. You got into the Bian family's good graces with a car accident. Doesn't that feel great?"

For the first time, Jiang Zhi's eyes reddened. She grabbed the drink on the table and splashed it in his face, then left without looking back.

She couldn't save someone like him.

Bian Ye refused to be controlled. He was a rich playboy, so wild and rebellious that everyone knew it.

But with his wealthy family and outrageously handsome looks, countless girls still flocked to him. For the first time, though, an ugly girl was always hanging around him.

Everyone waited to see Jiang Zhi make a fool of herself.

Sure enough, before long, the ugly girl stopped appearing by Bian Ye's side.

But to everyone's astonishment, someone as proud as him actually lowered his head for Jiang Zhi.

He searched the whole city through the night, all for a birthday present.

Unfortunately, the gift ended up scattered on the floor, and the two of them argued. Bian Ye even got slapped.

Everyone secretly thought Jiang Zhi was done for. Yet the arrogant, unrestrained boy showed no anger, only abject misery.

The girl was calm and cold. "Let's stop here. It's over. Don't show up again."

Later, Jiang Zhi went to a university far away. To everyone's amazement, Bian Ye built his success from scratch. The two went their separate ways.

Until one day, they ran into each other by chance.

Bian Ye had become a hotshot in his industry, surrounded by beautiful women and as carefree and unruly as ever. He didn't even glance at Jiang Zhi, as if he didn't care at all.

But when he saw her standing beside the rival he'd once been jealous of, his restraint finally crumbled.

His eyes bloodshot, he pinned her against the wall. Jealousy was churning inside him, yet he still begged abjectly: "Don't fall for him, okay?"
