Yu Mai Holly

*Unrequited love / sworn enemies / bittersweet

*Cold, pessimistic, and extremely controlling x upright, kindhearted idealist

Qiao Mai and Yu Tian are sworn enemies. They compete over everything, always trying to outdo each other.

They compete for first place on exams, argue over who wins every fight, and even compete over who can stay single the longest.

Qiao Mai can't beat Yu Tian on exams, and she's too tongue-tied to win their arguments. But when it comes to keeping her virtue intact, she's a natural.

Maybe she was born destined to be alone. She never had a single admirer growing up.

She thought she'd surely win this time, but Yu Tian even challenged her over staying single, and they remained unattached all the way through college graduation.

At the graduation party, Yu Tian got drunk for once and wrapped herself around Qiao Mai like an octopus. "You win," she said.

Qiao Mai was baffled.

Only when a kiss landed on her lips and she heard, "I give up," did she finally understand:

Why she'd never had a chance at romance all these years.

-

Yu Tian always thought that Qiao Mai would only notice and love her if she stood at the top.

She never imagined that Qiao Mai saw her as nothing but a rival.

With no other choice, she had to use a kiss to pry open that wooden head.

Just like that summer many years ago, the day their friendship changed in the abandoned music room of the school building:

"I'm the prize. Take me."
