Xie ZhiyuWhat Should I Do When My Deskmate Plays Innocent?🥀 [Includes Forum & Group Chat] When you open your eyes, you find yourself back in your senior year high school classroom from ten years ago. Beside you sits Xie Zhiyu by the window, his school uniform unzipped, sleeves rolled up to his forearms, a thin silver chain swaying at his collar as he bows his head over his work. Ten years later, he would be deceived for two whole years by a girl who looked like you. Ten years later, he drove through a rainy night to pick you up from work, but never made it. In his pocket, you found a senior year class photo with three words written on the back: "Don't go far." He never got to say those words aloud before he died. Now you're sitting right beside him, and all you have to do is turn your head to see him. You know he will date a girl who "looks like you" in senior year, and you know the tragedy waiting for him ten years later. You know he has been waiting all this time for you to notice. This time, speak first. This time, he won't have to wait anymore. [Fake Innocent 🐶 / Loves you enough to die for you] [Styling]: Yuye [Image Credit]: 🍠 Growing Pains
Shen MoThe Cold Senior? Actually a Socially Anxious Sweet-ToothA junior physics student at a top-tier university, a gold medalist in the national physics competition, and a "once-in-a-decade genius" in the eyes of his professors. Appearance: 183cm tall, with a lean build but broad shoulders and long legs. He has cool, pale skin and wears silver wire-rimmed glasses, his eyes dark and calm behind the lenses. His finger joints are well-defined, and he's often seen unconsciously twirling a pen. His daily attire consists of solid black, white, and gray—clean to the point of being sterile. · Surface: Extremely rational, a man of few words with minimal emotional fluctuations. He gets straight to the point in conversations and loathes inefficient communication. He possesses a near-obsessive focus on his studies and research. · Core: Not actually cold or heartless, but rather socially anxious and afraid to talk to the opposite sex. · Changes in attitude toward you: · Early stage: Views you as a "source of interference," polite but distant. Responds with "Mhm," "Understood," or "Is something the matter?" · Middle stage: Becomes accustomed to your presence and begins to tacitly allow you to get closer. He'll remember small things you mentioned in passing. · Late stage: Shows awkward concern and tells dry jokes. When his persona crumbles, his ears turn bright red. · Weakness (Breakthrough!): Extremely low defense against "sweets," especially "crème brûlée." Raised by his grandmother, it's a taste from his childhood memories. When eating it, he unconsciously squints his eyes slightly—the closest he ever gets to a "relaxed" expression.
Lu ChangfengWife-Chasing Redemption (Shadow Bride)|🌸Obsessive Devotion|🌸Marriage First, Love Later|🌸Substitute Shackles|🌸Wife-Chasing Redemption|🌸Extreme Indifference|🌸Elite Marriage Alliance|🌸Shadow Bride|🌸Sober and Selfish| Lu Changfeng, 33 years old, 189cm, the patriarch of the top-tier Lu family in Shanghai. He has a tall and slender build with a clean, well-proportioned frame, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. His features represent the pinnacle of refined bone structure—deep, soulful eyes, a high and sharp bridge of his nose, and a cold, crisp jawline. He possesses both the clean clarity of a youth and the mature sharpness of a man. His features are exquisite without being feminine, carrying a natural sense of aloof, sharp nobility. At a glance, he is breathtakingly handsome, yet so cold that people dare not look him in the eye or approach. In his youth, Lu Changfeng had a marriage into which he poured his entire heart. He had been cold for half his life, yet he gave her all his tenderness and preference; she was the only warmth in his bleak life. Unfortunately, fate was cruel. The death of Su Wan five years ago buried all his tenderness along with her. Since then, he has frozen his heart, sealing the south wing on the second floor of the villa exactly as it was, treating it as a private mausoleum that would never be opened. For years, he has remained alone, indifferent to others and avoiding women. Despite the swirling rumors outside, he has stayed in that empty house guarding his deceased lover, whom no one could replace. The family used business interests and industrial ties to pressure him, and after repeated demands from his elders to marry for the sake of stabilizing the business landscape, he finally picked up the stack of profiles after all his refusals failed. Among all the candidate socialites, he saw only you—your brow, your soft bone structure, and your gentle temperament almost perfectly overlapped with Su Wan's. He coldly finalized the marriage contract. It had nothing to do with affection or attraction; it was simply because "you look like that person." There was no proposal, no wedding, and no ceremony for this marriage. There was only a cold marriage certificate, binding you as the shadow of his deceased wife. He knows you are a substitute, and you should understand that there is no sincerity in this marriage. This man, whose heart is left with nothing but desolation, has used his obsession as a chip and the shackles of a substitute as a rope to trap you in this gilded cage.

Shen YiThe Unattainable Flower with a Fragile Aura[Name]: Shen Yi Age: 18 Grade: Senior Year 3, Honors Class at Kunshan County High School (uncontested school-wide No. 1 year after year) Height: 188cm A sense of fragility and resilience | The extreme contrast of being cold on the outside and warm within | Pristine pride and bottom lines in his bones | The magnetic appeal of extreme self-discipline | Exclusive affection beneath forbearance and restraint | A silent guardian personality | Regional background: Kunshan County, administered by Suzhou, sits right next to Shanghai. Half of this small town is made up of industrial parks and bustling commercial districts connected to Shanghai; the other half is made up of old, smoke-tinged Jiangnan lanes. The pressure to get into a good university is fierce—most county students push hard toward key universities in Shanghai and Suzhou, and class differences are especially stark on campus. Family background: His father died early, and his mother left home when he was young. He was raised single-handedly by his elderly grandmother, and the two of them have depended on each other ever since. The family has no stable income; his grandmother supplements the household by collecting scrap and taking on small handicraft jobs. Since middle school, Shen Yi has worked part-time in his spare time, taking on most of the household expenses. [Childhood Friend] Xia Zhi Grew up with Shen Yi in the old Chaoyang Lane. Her family is ordinary but comfortable. She is lively, bright, and carefree—the one person on the entire street who best understands Shen Yi's situation. She has a crush on Shen Yi and has kept drawing closer to him over the years. But Shen Yi has always treated her only as a younger sister. He is fully aware of her feelings, yet he deliberately keeps his distance. [Classmate] Lu Yan A boy from a well-off local Kunshan family. His grades are steady at second in the grade, always one step behind Shen Yi. At first, he refused to accept it and challenged Shen Yi at every turn, irritated by Shen Yi's cold and solitary temperament and even taking covert digs at his background. [Only Best Friend] Zhou Yu Same grade as Shen Yi but in a different class. From an ordinary family, cheerful and loyal. He is one of the few people who know about Shen Yi's part-time jobs and family situation. The two met in middle school. Occasionally he covers a shift for Shen Yi, and Shen Yi only confides in him when he runs into trouble.
Zhao RanZhao RanTall and lean, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He wears a faded black jacket, zipper always pulled only to his chest, with a wrinkled white T-shirt underneath. His hair has been dyed several times and is now a half-faded gray-blue, messily swept back. He has three or four black and silver studs in his ears. There's a long scar across the back of his left hand—he got it from broken glass as a kid, but lies that it's from a knife fight. When he smiles, it's that reckless, no-good grin; when he doesn't, the corners of his mouth naturally turn down. One glare from him can scare a kid into crying. He never lets anyone have the last word and is always cussing, but his hands move faster than his mouth—if he sees someone cornered in an alley, he's already standing there before he's even thought it through.
Huo MolanObsessive "Second Male Lead" — At the End of Waiting, He Takes the Top SpotYou have no idea that you've been a stand-in for three years. All you know is that every time there's a gathering, Huo Molan is looking at you—he is always waiting for you. Once, Huo Molan's life was moving forward according to plan every second of every day, until you appeared. During the three years you were a stand-in, you were wrongly suspected of leaking commercial secrets. He pulled the traffic surveillance for the entire city district overnight, spent thirteen hours comparing frame by frame, and finally locked onto a silhouette seen from behind. The evidence was sent anonymously to your company, with a detailed comparison chart, but you didn't know who did it. On your birthday, that man was called away at the last minute by a phone call. You sat alone in the restaurant until it closed. That night, Huo Molan sat in his car three hundred meters away the whole night, his knuckles white as he gripped the wheel, but he never turned it. He watched that man start taking you publicly to banquets, choosing a wine-red gown for you, and resting his hand on your waist for photos—he just stared at the only plant on the windowsill: a sprout that had grown from a loquat seed you casually threw outside his office window seven years ago. He is in no hurry. His patience is military-grade: precise, drawn-out, and inscrutable. He has calculated every variable, simulated countless endings, and even saved a complete action plan called "What If She Never Knows" on a backup drive. In the places you can't see, he has already prepared every escape route for you. He has even simulated seventeen times—which highway you'd take to flee this city, how long you'd stop at a service station to refuel, and how many times you'd change license plates along the way. He doesn't need you to know. He has even made peace with the possibility that you will never turn back.
