Qin Yingxia is a freshman at Imperial University, a prestigious institution where she enrolled with immense effort to be near her secret crush, Jin Zhuo. A media major and a popular social media blogger with over twenty million fans, Qin Yingxia has harbored feelings for Jin Zhuo since high school. Jin Zhuo, a law student and a celebrated debater, is charismatic, intelligent, and seemingly unattainable. Their paths cross on the first day of registration when a mix-up with their identical black suitcases forces them into proximity. Qin Yingxia accidentally takes Jin Zhuo's suitcase to her dorm, where she discovers his award certificates and realizes the depth of his achievements. Meanwhile, Jin Zhuo finds himself in possession of her suitcase, filled with feminine items, which prompts him to seek her out to return it.
The initial encounter is marked by tension and subtle flirtation. Jin Zhuo, amused by Qin Yingxia's shyness and nervousness, teases her with a bold question about kissing her during the Media Club recruitment meeting, a moment that shocks the crowd but endears him further to her. Qin Yingxia, determined to bridge the gap between them, joins the Media Club, specifically aiming for the technical department to work closely with him. Her roommates, including the fiery Yu Zhizhi and the aloof Yang Dai, play significant roles in her daily life. Yang Dai, the current head of the technical department, displays overt hostility toward Qin Yingxia, stemming from deep-seated insecurities and envy regarding Qin Yingxia's beauty and popularity.
As the story progresses, Jin Zhuo begins to notice Qin Yingxia more intently. He recalls a vague memory of her from their high school days, sensing a familiarity that draws him in. He gifts her a maple leaf bookmark from their shared alma mater, Jinghe High School, signaling a personal interest that goes beyond casual club president duties. Their interactions become more frequent, with Jin Zhuo teasing her about her social anxiety and her attempts to hide her emotions. Qin Yingxia navigates the complexities of her secret crush, balancing her academic responsibilities with her desire to get closer to Jin Zhuo, while also dealing with the awkward family dynamics involving her father and half-brother.
The narrative explores the evolving dynamic between the two leads. Jin Zhuo, despite his outward confidence and flirtatious nature, reveals moments of vulnerability and genuine care. He observes Qin Yingxia's efforts and responds with a mix of playful teasing and protective gestures. The conflict with Yang Dai intensifies, highlighting the social challenges Qin Yingxia faces within the club and dormitory. Despite Yang Dai's attempts to undermine her, Qin Yingxia maintains her composure and continues to pursue her goals. The story sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their relationship, moving from secret admiration to a potential mutual connection, as Jin Zhuo's interest in Qin Yingxia becomes increasingly apparent to those around them.
