Recklessly in His Heart

In Jiang Mengzhu's senior year of high school, a transfer student came to her family.

He hardly spoke, and his eyes were cool and still whenever he looked at her.

But Jiang Mengzhu knew he rescued stray cats, that he was aloof and handsome, and that beneath his gloomy exterior was a warm heart.

Later, she chased Nie Zeyuan everywhere. Everyone at Hucheng No. 1 High School knew about it, as did everyone around him: he had a girlfriend who was always wearing her heart on her sleeve, loving him with all her heart and soul.

Then she realized she had mistaken him for someone else.

His heart had always been cold.

When she heard the news about her father over the phone, Jiang Mengzhu finally came to her senses. She turned and let go.

Nie Zeyuan, let's break up.

-

Before coming to Hucheng, Nie Zeyuan had never imagined a girl could be so bold and radiant.

Again and again, she told him she liked him.

At first, Nie Zeyuan thought she was just like every other girl and paid her no mind.

Later, Nie Zeyuan broke every one of his own rules, clawing his way out of the muck until he stood at the top.

All just to make her look back at him.

-

"I know it was wrong of me to suddenly break up with you back then," she said.

"But all of a sudden, I didn't want to reach for the moon in the sky anymore. I wanted to keep my feet firmly on the ground. Flowers will bloom along your way, too, Nie Zeyuan." Jiang Mengzhu smiled.

But Nie Zeyuan was beside himself with anguish, as if his heart were being torn apart.

Bullshit.

He said that without her, every road from now on could only lead downhill.

* A restrained, self-controlled future business tycoon x a lively, radiant young heiress

* She pursues him in the beginning, then he chases her with regret later. The male lead stays the same. Happy ending.

* Both leads are each other's first, from school days to the wedding aisle
