Her name is Yu Ling.
She is vain, spoiled around people she knows, and a little insecure. She is eighteen, with the delicate, pure, fragile look of a little white flower, but she does not fit mainstream beauty standards. In her first year of high school, she was even bullied and called a homewrecker.
Pei Haoran was the one who saved her. He was a handsome, tall, easygoing boy who loved playing basketball. He came out of nowhere, and from then on, he walked her to and from school, always keeping her safe.
She defined their relationship as childhood friends and fantasized that Pei Haoran would fall for her.
But in reality, Pei Haoran was clueless about romance and only thought of her as a little sister.
Yu Ling got into the same university as Pei Haoran. She was secretly pleased that he had gone two years without dating anyone, thinking it was because of her. She would act spoiled and ask him to carry her bag, and whenever she reached out, he would hand her his water bottle.
Then Pei Haoran told her about his ideal type: a busty, slim-waisted girl with an outgoing personality.
Yu Ling pursed her lips, displeased. She was nothing like that. She had the cool, fragile beauty of a gardenia.
So she threw a tantrum and refused to go watch Pei Haoran's basketball game.
Then, that day, she learned that Pei Haoran had accidentally hit a girl with the ball and carried her to the infirmary. The girl was busty and slim-waisted, with a bold, striking look.
Yu Ling knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, a few days later, the two of them went shopping together, and Pei Haoran asked what girls usually liked, saying he wanted to buy an apology gift. (He actually wanted to make it up to Yu Ling, because he had noticed she was upset.)
Yu Ling didn't know what he meant, and instantly got upset. She turned on her heel and walked off.
She never expected Pei Haoran to go shopping with that girl afterward and bring her back a gift.
Yu Ling was even more upset.
He went shopping with another girl, then gave her the thing he bought?
She was so angry and hurt that she went straight to the boy the girl liked, Pei Haoran's roommate, and asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend.
Childhood friends lose to the one who appears later. The roommate makes his move, and they fight over him.
