Summary
Synopsis:
1.
The moment the college entrance exams ended, Qi Si was dumped.
She later learned from others that the campus beauty had only dated her to improve her grades and get into a prestigious university. In her ex-girlfriend’s eyes, Qi Si was dull, boring, and an idiot who only knew how to study—someone completely unworthy of her.
Qi Si took a gap year after graduation, backpacking on foot across half the world. By the time she returned, the gap between her and her ex had only grown wider.
Her ex had become the goddess of University A. Through family connections, she’d secured a beautiful overseas-returned supervisor. Rumor had it she’d soon publish papers, earn a PhD offer from one of the world’s top universities, and return to China as a faculty member at University A.
Meanwhile, tragedy struck Qi Si’s family. They were buried in debt. Her ex stirred up an online hate campaign against her, and she was nearly forced to have her scent gland removed. Left with no other choice, Qi Si decided to withdraw from University A.
Holding her withdrawal application, she went to get her counselor’s signature—but by mistake, she walked into Lin Ye’s office.
2.
Lin Ye was notorious throughout University A.
Young and exceptionally accomplished, she was equally famous for being ruthless with students. Her major courses had a failure rate of 60%. Students avoided her whenever they saw her, and even the university president dared not criticize her.
But Qi Si had terrible face blindness.
The first time they met, Lin Ye happened to be in her heat, and Qi Si thoughtfully bought suppressants for her.
The second time, Qi Si mistook her for her ex-girlfriend and casually greeted her with, “Hi.”
The third time they crossed paths in a dark alley, Qi Si chased away a male Alpha who had been eyeing Lin Ye.
The fourth time they met in the cafeteria, Qi Si assumed Lin Ye was being ostracized and enthusiastically sat beside her, even helping her ladle a bowl of soup.
…
The Nth time, Qi Si stood in Lin Ye’s office and said she wanted to withdraw from school.
Lin Ye lifted the hem of her skirt and parted her crimson lips.
“…Why don’t you come to my house tonight, and we can discuss it in detail?”
3.
Qi Si marked Lin Ye, willingly becoming her source of comfort.
Lin Ye had plenty of money and very little trouble. When she was in a good mood, she spoiled Qi Si endlessly—even arranging for Qi Si’s family to travel overseas for surgery.
She was Qi Si’s patron.
But she wasn’t someone Qi Si was supposed to fall in love with.
Mark her.
Don’t fall in love with her.
…That was far easier said than done.
When her patron heartlessly cast her aside, Qi Si nearly lost her mind.
She blocked Lin Ye, deleted every way of contacting her, and disappeared into the snowfields. Under a new identity, she became an indie game developer, helped her family fight their lawsuit, saved money, and devoted herself to doing everything she truly loved.
When she heard on the news that Lin Ye had supposedly died in an explosion, her heart only wavered for a moment before she buried herself in work again.
Even when Lin Ye suddenly appeared before her, pregnant with their child, Qi Si merely gave her a cold glance and turned away.
Blocking her path, Lin Ye’s eyes brimmed with tears as her voice trembled.
“Baby… don’t you like me anymore?”
“What do I have to do… to make up with you?”
….
