Beauty as a weapon x untouchable flower

Back in high school, Cheng Li and Zhou Zhiyan were both the school’s most talked-about people.

One wielded beauty like a weapon, the other was heaven’s favored son.

Zhou Zhiyan’s good friend liked her, and his grades plummeted, so he advised his friend to stay away from that bad girl.

Zhou Zhiyan was the moon in the sky, the snow on the mountain.

During a dare, Cheng Li lost and slipped him a love letter into the opening of his desk.

He threw her letter into the trash and left behind a cold sentence: “I don’t like your type. Don’t waste your effort.”

Their grudge was settled then and there.

Unwilling to accept it, Cheng Li swore to pluck down this high-and-mighty flower and chased him passionately for an entire semester.

Years later, they meet again.

Cheng Li apologizes for the farce back then and says she will keep her distance from him in the future.

But Zhou Zhiyan mistakes her for a vain, gold-digging woman who sleeps around; she dates online to scam money while also trying to seduce his colleague.

Every day she brings his colleague an “affectionate” lunch, smiling more sweetly than flowers.

He sees Cheng Li every day and grows more and more irritated.

He hates Cheng Li even more.

Hates that she smiles at other men.

Hates that she is a gold-digger, and why she doesn’t scam him instead.

Why she sleeps around with several men, and why she doesn’t sleep around with him.

He sinks deeper into insecurity once again.

So much so that he wants to dig out his own heart and show it to her.
