Plot Summary (No Spoilers)
The story begins when 'Su Chengcheng' (played by Wu Jiayi), a female student who decides to attend a university that is mostly male. She has never had a crush before until she meets 'Xue Yuhe' (played by Liu Yichang), a handsome genius who seems perfect in every way. With courage, she confesses her love to him, but gets the answer 'yes,' which makes them a couple by default. However, the male lead has a secret related to her.
The series unfolds through their relationship as they learn to understand each other, facing various obstacles that test their love, whether it's meddling roommates or secrets revealed later.

Meanwhile, 'Liu Yichang' creates charm for Xue Yuhe, who appears cold but hides warmth perfectly. Their chemistry is good, making romantic scenes believable.
