- Early: ice queen * sunshine
- Later: broken vs. even more broken
In their first year of high school, Zhou Nianzhi was seated beside Song Yuli because she talked too much.
Everyone knew that although Song Yuli was beautiful, she was an iceberg who spoke as little as possible. She barely said a handful of words to her classmates each day.
Zhou Nianzhi refused to believe it. There wasn't anyone she couldn't befriend.
So no matter how piercing the frost,
Zhou Nianzhi kept inching closer to Song Yuli.
She really was good to Song Yuli.
So good that even she could barely explain why.
Back then, all she wanted was to see Song Yuli every day.
She promised to give Song Yuli the best things in the world.
But those were just childish words.
At twenty-two,
after a night of intimacy, with the air thick between them, she buttoned up the other woman's shirt, hiding the bruises scattered across her body, and said coldly, "Song Yuli, let's never see each other again."
-
At sixteen, Song Yuli wrote with utmost care in her prettiest notebook:
"Zhou Nianzhi is a noisy little bird, a howling gale, and the sunlight I long for."
Six years later, Song Yuli crossed out those words, crumpled up the paper, and tossed it into the trash. She murmured, "Liar."
But fate took its twists and turns, bringing her face-to-face with Zhou Nianzhi again.
So, when they met again in the second year after their parting,
she gazed at Zhou Nianzhi's back as if watching her prey, her brows arched and lips curved as she murmured, "So I did get to see you again."
"You can't leave me again, Zhizhi."
[Blurb focused on healing]
That year, Zhou Nianzhi closed her eyes and kept falling, wanting to remain forever in the darkness and sink into an endless abyss.
"Splash."
She opened her eyes.
And saw Song Yuli reach out her hand, asking her to hold on.
A shaft of light pierced the darkness.
At that moment, daylight arrived.

Blurb for After the Breakup, the Obsessive Heiress Regretted It:
- Groveling-to-win-her-back / dog training / switches
- Early: trashy woman, later clingy puppy vs. early: pitiable girl, later dog-training master
"The year I hated her most was the year she loved me."
-
That year, Ji Wan Mian was framed and left without anyone to turn to.
It was the heiress Pei Jinyue who stood up for her and spoke on her behalf.
After that, Ji Wan Mian, newly awakened to love, secretly admired Miss Pei for countless years.
She became the heiress's little shadow, running errands and doing whatever she asked.
Just one smile from Pei Jinyue was enough to make her happy.
Later, Pei Jinyue did smile at her.
Ji Wan Mian still remembered that night, when the heiress was so drunk she could barely stand. She hooked an arm around Ji Wan Mian's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Do you really like me that much? You just saw it yourself. I'm nice to other people too."
"Ji Wan Mian, I can fall for lots of people, but I won't fall for you. You're not my type."
The truth was, Ji Wan Mian had known all along.
Every time they sweated together, Pei Jinyue buried her face in Ji Wan Mian's shoulder, exhausted and breathing softly, yet whispering someone else's name.
In the end, Pei Jinyue hurriedly got dressed and left, giving Ji Wan Mian just one parting line:
"You probably hate me, don't you? I'm going to take all the love you've given me and use it to love someone else."
-
Hate her? How could she not?
Ji Wan Mian nearly hated Pei Jinyue to her bones.
But three years after they parted, she ran into Pei Jinyue again.
This time, Pei Jinyue became Ji Wan Mian's little shadow.
The heiress had turned into a clingy puppy, following Ji Wan Mian everywhere.
After being ignored for the tenth time, Pei Jinyue stopped Ji Wan Mian and poured out her endless love.
Ji Wan Mian didn't want to get entangled with her again. Before walking around the woman in front of her, she answered firmly, "But I hate you."
Pei Jinyue leaned down to look at Ji Wan Mian, putting herself in a humble position, her eyes shimmering. "Often, hate leaves a deeper mark than love. So, Ji Wan Mian, you still can't let me go."
Reading Guide:
1. Pei Jinyue is genuinely a bit of a jerk early on. Later, she nearly fails to win Ji Wan Mian back, making it a real groveling-to-win-her-back story. Ji Wan Mian is a bit of a lovesick fool early on, but becomes completely clear-headed later, so there's character growth.
2. Their family backgrounds are very different. Pei Jinyue is a rich heiress.
3. 1v1, imperfect characters.

Zero o'clock is so good, I immediately fell into a dream after watching it.
What good will it do you to take away my tears?
So cute, classmates Zhou and Song
Congratulations on the completion ~ scatter flowers,
Life must get better, it must! Let's get well, two bitter babies 💪
As a gift, I have to say that he seemed to be very quiet and organized in his work. Zhizhi had to take a bath and had his clothes ready in advance [Cat Head]
Giving a gift is also a hard-earned treasure 😭
I feel so sorry for Zhizhi, I don't dare to ask for a little bit of warmth, for fear that I will drag down Yuli 😭
Um. . I haven't watched it since I was busy with school for a while. I didn't expect it to be finished. I'll book it all first and watch it after the college entrance examination.
