[His Version:]

Jian Youhuang, eighteen years old, a new transfer student in Class One, Senior Year, at Nanjing High School.

As far as the school's students were concerned, the new transfer student in Class One, Senior Year, had a scarred face and grades that always fell just a few points short of Qiao Gongzi's. He never fell behind, earning him the schoolwide nickname "Perpetual Runner-Up." Other than that, he made little impression.

Of course, that was only what most people thought.

Among the most powerful families at Nanjing High School, only a very few knew anything about his mysterious background. Almost no one knew he was not only a financial genius with an exceptionally high IQ, but also the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Golden Lotus, the fifth-largest empire in Europe, with a title of nobility from birth.

[Her Version:]

An Heqiao skipped two grades and entered her senior year at Nanjing High School. She was widely regarded as the school's most extraordinary student.

She was born into the An family, one of the four most powerful families in the capital of Country Z. Ten years ago, after both her parents died in a car accident, her grandfather, a powerful figure in his own right, named her the An family's next heir. Ever since she started at Nanjing High School, everyone there had respectfully called her "Qiao Gongzi."

But who knew that this so-called winner of life, whom legend said God had kissed on the tip of his toes, was actually just a decoy the An family used to protect its true heir?

And she wasn't the An family's eldest young master at all. She was simply the An family's beloved little daughter, who had been showered with affection until the age of five...?

[Their Story:]

Their first meeting began with one stunning glance at sunset beside the Seine.

After escaping and transforming herself, she became Qiao An, the president of TF Fashion Group, the fastest-rising sensation in the global fashion world, and a supermodel goddess whose beauty lit up the world's runways.

She also had another identity coveted by the entertainment industry in Country Z: renowned screenwriter Weisheng Qingnan, the secret force behind the legendary director Feng Yang.

After a long separation, their reunion made it clear to the world that the bond between them was intertwined so tightly that even fate couldn't tear it apart.

[Memorable Quote:]

"From now on, the only thing that can part us is death. We will never be separated again."

Jian Youhuang

[Scene One:]

Jing San: "Do you like her that much? You never even dated, and then she disappeared for seven years, but you still can't forget her? Back then, I thought you were both too young to understand how deep love could be."

Jian Youhuang: "Sometimes seeing someone for the first time is enough to know you love them."

[Scene Two:]

"Have you ever seen the sun at two in the morning?"

"No."

"I have."

"How could that be? Even if you were a god!"

"When I woke in the middle of the night, I saw my little cat's sleeping face."

[Scene Three:]

"Qingqing, I don't like the lesson the teacher taught today."

"Why not?"

"Didn't you tell me that the key to life is happiness?"

"I did. What's wrong?"

"Hmph, the teacher asked us in class what the key to life was and called on me to answer. I said it was happiness, but when I finished, the teacher didn't say anything. Then all the kids around me said I'd misunderstood the question."

"Well, you were right."

"Of course I was. So it wasn't me who misunderstood the question. They were the ones who misunderstood life!"
