By the Sunken Boat's Side

In everyone else's eyes, Lu Chen is rebellious, sharp-tongued, hard to deal with, and trains like his life depends on it.

In Wen Yining's eyes, Lu Chen wears a jacket washed until it has faded, picks the cheapest dishes in the cafeteria, and never misses a chance to talk back. Yet whenever someone gives her a hard time, he's the first to step in and stand by her side.

She is a gentle, composed senior who is used to working behind the scenes to pave the way for others. He is a talented newcomer cast out by his family, a loner who trusts no one. A competitive league brings this bickering couple onto the same team.

Their daily banter gradually gives way to a hard-won understanding forged in training. They know where the other will be the next second without having to say a word. When Lu Chen pursues her so directly, she panics. They are two years apart, each carries their own emotional baggage, and they face resistance from their families and public opinion.

But he tells her, "Senior, I don't care about anyone else. I've set my heart on you."

From campus to the arena, from bickering to standing side by side, he gives all his patience and tenderness to her alone.
