The Top Student Says She Likes Me, but Everything She Says Is a Lie

When a debt-ridden, proud transfer student meets the cold, rational top student in school, two girls labeled by fate compose a love poem spanning ten years, caught in a whirlwind where lies and truth intertwine.

Lin Kexin is stubborn and arrogant on the surface, but fragile and sensitive underneath. Burdened with the enormous debt her father left behind and a shattered sense of self-worth, she is like a hedgehog with its spines raised. Mu Linwan seems like a perfect, rational honor student, but hides deep wounds. She builds walls around herself with cold, data-driven analysis, yet one evening, she stops in her tracks at the sight of a trembling figure in the corner.

From an accidental act of kindness to the delicate routine of being forced to live together; from testing each other while saying the opposite of what they mean to entrusting their lives to one another, they see in each other their deepest shadows and the light they long for most. But Mu Linwan's prominent family background, which she has never mentioned, her twisted bond with her father, and the dangerous eyes secretly coveting Lin Kexin all make their relationship feel like walking on thin ice.

"If you dare leave, I'll... I'll never speak to you again!"

"I'll stay. But are you ready to face some of the truths?"
