Kou He's dad was a nouveau riche whose only wish in life was for his daughter to get the highest education possible and bring glory to the family. Kou He's only wish was to piss off her scumbag father. When Huo Chen and Kou He first met, they slapped each other across the face. Kou He: “Dumbass!” Huo Chen: “Right back at you.” Later Kou He: “A toad dreaming of eating roast goose? Not a chance! Dumbass, get lost!” Huo Chen: “Because I like you, I'll take your side no matter what you do. They call that favoritism. People who've been to school call it love.” For the first 19 years of his life, Huo Chen thought living was all about doing whatever he pleased. Then one day, he realized he wasn't living just for himself, but for his family too. Reaching for the heavens is hard, and asking others for help is even harder!
