On her twelfth birthday, Qiu Xuan’s parents divorced.
Running away from home, Qiu Xuan was found by Jiang Chuhuai—the neighbor she had always disliked since childhood.
At that moment, he unexpectedly became the “shoujo manga male lead” who descended into her dark world.
Later, she wanted to ask him how he had managed to find her, but his family had already moved away without a trace.

Two years later, when she learned he was in Dongzhou, she immediately agreed to transfer schools.
When she found out that his grades would get him into Chonggao High, she worked desperately to get into No. 1 High School as well.
One day, a scandalous post about Jiang Chuhuai suddenly appeared on the school forum.
The comments were buzzing: “Jiang Chuhuai is dating Bai Yifei! She’s the one who first called him by his childhood nickname!”
Qiu Xuan instantly replied: “That’s bullshit—I was the one who called him that first!”
