  In a virtual sea of university-themed series, there's one gem that stood out to me. A binge-watching session that lasted from March th to March th introduced me to a tale of campus life like no other, with episodes that lasted a mere few minutes each.
  
  What truly captured my attention beyond the fleeting runtime was the engaging storyline, skillfully brought to life by a stellar cast. One particular scene that resonated with me involved Chen Miren and Zhong Wei delving into the depths of astrology...

  and zodiac signs, a moment that added an intriguing layer to their dynamic.
  
  The narrative also touched upon the complexities of familial dynamics, evoking sympathy for Zhao Gu as she grappled with parental favoritism towards her sibling. Another heartfelt moment unfolded when Chen Miren's parents expressed concern for her academic pursuits, showcasing a rare but endearing parental involvement that left a mark.
  
  As the plot thickened, tensions rose with Chen Miren’s valiant yet humorous efforts to shield Zhong Wei from trouble, even if it meant concocting amusing cover stories. Meanwhile, the introduction of a gossipy side to Zhong Wei brought an unexpected twist to their relationship, culminating in a failed attempt to win back Chen Miren’s affections.
  
  Amidst the drama, a flicker of hope emerged as Chen Miren and Zhong Wei tentatively rekindled their romance. Though the series left me pondering the ultimate fate of their relationship, it hinted at a potential happily-ever-after, leaving viewers with a sense of satisfaction and contentment.
