Yan Ran is the kind of soon-to-be senior who is still in class after every other classroom has emptied. His daily routine is sneaking naps during class, wolfing down food between classes, and gossiping and ranting on the side, helping fuel the school's ghost stories.
Like all teenagers, Yan Ran loves to daydream and has a mind that jumps from one thing to another. But unlike most...
When he sees couples being lovey-dovey on campus:
Yan Ran: So campus novels really are all lies. There aren't any good-looking guys at private high schools.
When he comes across a bizarre new dish in the cafeteria:
Yan Ran: That'd probably be a hit in some weird-food novel. People from the stars would definitely love it.
Clearly, Yan Ran is a passionate novel reader. He has no qualms about what he reads, and neither the pairing nor the genre matters. His only requirement is that it be satisfying. Tragic stories? No, thank you!
Yan Ran loves sharing his interests, and soon finds a whole crowd of like-minded people online. They ship couples together and recommend good reads. He also meets an incredible artist who's exactly his type: with a soft, beautiful style and delicate emotions, their art is somehow alluring despite the characters being fully clothed. They always have something to share, even though they draw for a tiny niche. Yan Ran considers them his goddess.
But the arrival of a new transfer student disrupts Yan Ran's peaceful life: an art student with sun-kissed skin, an eight-pack, a height of 195 centimeters, and a buzz cut?
"So my goddess is a guy..."
"So I'm gay?!"
Lou Xuezhou is a handsome, aloof guy with an aura that keeps people at arm's length. His incredible physique makes him look like an athlete at first glance, but he's actually a phenomenal artist with a huge following.
To escape his obsessive admirers, Lou Xuezhou transfers to the city where his grandparents live. High school isn't as peaceful as he'd imagined, but it's pretty interesting.
For example... there's this little fan who keeps chattering away around him.
An outgoing, cheerful, slightly long-winded guy who may have broken his brain reading novels x A cool, aloof guy who's actually warmhearted
Yan Ran is the bottom, Lou Xuezhou is the top. Happy ending, sweet romance.
They get together as adults.
Theme: Have fun and study hard. A healthy balance of work and rest helps you grow.
