Character Introduction

Lin Yu

Age: 19

Major: Media & Communications

Campus Reputation: The Friendly Heartthrob

Always smiling, always approachable, Lin Yu is the kind of person everyone thinks they know. He chats easily with strangers, remembers names, and never seems bothered by rumors or rankings—even when he’s constantly tied for first place on the campus heartthrob list.

But beneath his laid-back charm is a sharp mind and an instinct for observation. Lin Yu notices details others overlook and hides his own worries behind jokes. Being admired has never been his goal—he simply doesn’t know how not to care.

Secret: He hates being placed on a pedestal more than anyone realizes.

Shen Yi

Age: 20

Major: Finance

Campus Reputation: The Untouchable Ace

Top grades. Perfect appearance. Impeccable self-control. Shen Yi is admired from a distance, spoken of in hushed tones, and rarely approached. His silence makes him seem cold, even intimidating—but it’s also what fuels endless speculation.

Shen Yi is disciplined to the point of severity, holding himself to standards no one else could endure. He believes perfection is the only way to stay in control, and he never allows himself to make mistakes—or connections.

Secret: He has no idea how to deal with genuine affection.
