Ruining What Was Never Real (D4)

Ding Jie and Pei En have mastered the art of survival at their prestigious university: they simply let everyone believe they are a couple. It's the perfect shield-it keeps the unwanted admirers at bay, guarantees a steady supply of gifts in their lockers, and keeps the rest of the campus at a comfortable distance.

But the facade hasn't gone unnoticed. Jiang Heng and Xing, two of the university's most formidable figures, are tired of playing spectator to a relationship they know is a lie. Jiang has spent years vying for Pei En's attention, while Xing is dangerously fixated on Ding Jie, and both are growing tired of being blocked by the illusion of their bond.
When the two rivals realize that the "campus power couple" is nothing more than a convenient ruse, they decide it's time to intervene. As Jiang and Xing begin a calculated effort to dismantle the friendship and reveal the truth, the lines between rumor and reality begin to blur. In a world of fake love letters and performative affection, how long can they pretend when the people who want to ruin them are starting to demand something much more real?
