Online Romance with an Iceberg Professor Backfired

Synopsis

Ji Pei was tricked by a friend into downloading a dating app that automatically matched users based on their personality for a “soulmate” connection, even displaying the exact distance between two matched partners.

She was automatically paired with a user named “Winter Day.” After viewing their profile—a highly educated intellectual, noble, cold, and glamorous—Ji Pei was instantly captivated and started dating them.

Her girlfriend was perfectly tailored for her: answering every question, constantly providing emotional support, flawless, almost like a personalized romance AI.

However, the longer they dated, the perfect girlfriend in her heart suddenly took a sharp turn.

Winter Day: Show me if your chest is big.

Winter Day: What a nicely shaped butt. When will you let me inspect your body? …

Jiang Xianhan is the renowned Philosophy Professor at A University. She is aloof and ascetic; her shirt buttons are always fastened to the very top. She is the object of countless admirers, possessing a powerful aura that lives up to her name (Xianhan means ‘admire cold’).

Ji Pei looked up to see Jiang Xianhan staring down at her, reaching out to confiscate her phone.

“No using phones in my class.”

Ji Pei: The app must be broken!

Ji Pei went home and complained to her online girlfriend about the incident.

Ji Pei: My sister made me cover her class, and the professor immediately called on me! That professor had such a cold face, like someone owed her five million dollars. She has absolutely no warmth—she’s a heartless person!

Winter Day: …

Winter Day: I want to see your solo-play pictures, without clothes.

One day, the two agreed to meet on Nanjiang Bridge. Ji Pei held a bouquet of roses, ready to witness the long-awaited romance.

The breeze was gentle, the moment was serene and beautiful. Her online date wore a red dress, her back to Ji Pei, looking sexy, enchanting, and radiating irresistible charm.

The back looked a little familiar. The moment the woman turned around, Ji Pei was struck by lightning.

“P-P-P-Professor Jiang…”

Later that night, the woman, eyes like silk on the bed, was completely different from her ascetic, detached classroom persona: “Who was it who said they’d make me unable to get out of bed?”

“Perform well tonight.”

Ji Pei (eyes tearing up): “…”
