College Entrance Exam: A Sixty-Year-Old Plain Woman Binds to a Nation-Strengthening System and Becomes a Glamorous, Youthful Heartthrob

University campus! Blushing and heart-fluttering! Secret whispers of youth! An immersive experience!!!

Two couples, both secretly in love, caught in a constant push and pull of ambiguity.

"Li Qinghe + Gu Yanjun": A Cinderella-like campus beauty + a cool, aloof, chaste male campus heartthrob. A fated entanglement between two unattainable figures, sweet with just a touch of angst (nothing too painful). With a little help from the System, Li Qinghe resolves the difficulties they face, and the two eventually travel from the present to the past together.

"Su Lingge + Sun Qianqian": A noble, handsome mixed-race prince + a proud, "spoiled" young heiress. Childhood sweethearts, perfectly matched in status. The handsome young master everyone else can only dream of is willing to kneel for her, and dotes on her alone. He knew how he felt at fifteen, and has quietly protected her ever since, waiting for his princess to grow up and realize she loves him.

An interlude in Li Qinghe's story: Prince Yan Ting.

This is a knife, and a very painful one at that. Just so you know, it's a bad ending.

She stared at him with bloodshot eyes, slowly cutting open her own chest with a dagger.

Blood gushed out.

Li Qinghe was overwhelmed by agony. At that moment, she couldn't even die.

I will die!

In exchange, will you live?

Yan Ting watched Li Qinghe cough up blood, then slowly disappear from his sight.

Yan Ting! Goodbye.

System mind-reading successful: I waited for you for twenty years, and you stayed by my side for twenty days. Qinghe, that was enough for me. I love you, so the claim that my time was almost up was a lie. You alone were my deadline.

Li Qinghe awoke in her dormitory in the dead of night, her heart shattered like a cup filled with blood, tears streaming down her face.
