Qin Lu had been called a jinx for eighteen years. Both her parents were dead, and her relatives looked down on her.

On the day she transferred to Haicheng, all she wanted was to keep her head down and get by.

But Jiang Qiaosheng, who came from a privileged family and was always first in his class, kept appearing whenever she was at her most vulnerable.

When people gave her a hard time, he quietly sorted things out. When others cornered her, he stood in front of her.

Even her best friend once quietly asked, “Does Young Master Jiang like you?”

Qin Lu didn’t dare believe it.

Not until she was caught up in an old family feud, and every piece of evidence pointed to her as the bringer of bad luck. Jiang Qiaosheng shielded her behind him and declared to the whole world, “She’s the person I want to protect.”

Only later did she learn that his growing closeness was part of a long-planned protection that had begun the moment they first met.
