Zhou Ren'er was Cheng Yi's classmate in high school. More precisely, he was the enemy she had unilaterally cut off all contact with.
When they met again after years apart, she treated it as a chance to get revenge, refusing to back down and determined to trample him underfoot.
Later, to give him an explanation and satisfy her own physical needs, she proposed becoming exclusive partners.
Zhou Ren'er laughed in disbelief and trapped her in the narrow space between them. "What do you take me for? And what do you take yourself for?"
She turned her head, trying to escape the grip of his fingers. "I gave you the explanation you wanted. If you don't agree, then forget it! Just pretend I never said anything!"
"If you're still not satisfied, I can let you touch me in return. It's just a touch of my abs. What's the big deal?"
He lowered his head, his breath scorching. "Fine. But I'll be the one setting the rules."
And then, somehow, they started dating.
As fragments of dreams about another version of him grew ever clearer, she finally understood: he had come from another world to save her.
But by then, she was already hopelessly entangled in her ex-boyfriend's schemes. She often fought with him because of it, treating his sincere love like dirt.
In the end, he stood amid the freezing snow of the northern lands, frost on his lashes, and said to her, "If you insist on going to find him, don't come looking for me again."
His gaze was like dying embers. After that, he remained as handsome as ever, but he no longer loved her.
Later, Cheng Yi stood in that same snowy gale, calling his number again and again. In that moment, she suddenly understood the meaning of carving a mark on a moving boat to find a lost sword: as long as the boat was still there, she would have countless chances to search for the sword.
But the boat had long since sailed away, leaving only... the deepest and most painful scar he had carved into her life.
Content warning: The latter part of the story features the heroine chasing after the hero and trying to win him back. The hero suffers first, then the heroine.
Theme: People! Sometimes, there's no need to be too nice. It's okay to be a little sharp-tongued and selfish.
Woohoo, I want to cry, there may not be any list in the next month! Leave a comment!!! It's so painful to write an article. It's 50 chapters and I haven't even written the content in the introduction. Please come and condemn this author! It's almost like I was born to write a long Eucharist. It's a lot of verbosity and I haven't even written about cooking yet!
Isn't there a better way to spread rumors when you were a student? I always feel that the male protagonist's handling method is a bit excessive. He "belittles" the female protagonist to divert the attention of the boy who spreads the rumors? This is quite hurtful to the heroine.
This is somewhat similar to some of the plots in the Japanese version of "Please Marry My Husband". The female protagonist jumped off a building and died in front of the male protagonist in her previous life, and the male protagonist traveled back in time to be the female protagonist's boss.
