But in fact, MC, ML, ori!FL, and ori!ML are friends. At first, Duan Ye (ML) and Zhou Ji (ori!ML) kinda dislike each other. Because they're similar. But when they gradually become friends, they will be best friends.

I like how Zhou Ji who is so arrogant becomes better because of ori!FL (Ning Zhiyu). When Zhou Ji has a fight with Ning Zhiyu, he will grumble to Duan Ye. Their brotherhood is so good, even until they graduate from highschool.

He even already thinking about their future house because Jiang Yumo said something like "... if you really like it enough to want to get married, it doesn't seem to matter whether you have a house or not. Actually, you can rent a house, right! Renting a house is also very good..." (Idk what is the exact sentence because I MTL'ed it). But Duan Ye thinks Jiang Yumo deserves the best, so he works hard for their future.

After the extras, there are some chapters about their original life (?). It's so sad. But Jiang Yumo and Duan Ye there will have their HE, too.

She still want to work hard to make a better future though. But there's no exaggerated thing like suddenly become academic topper and having godly sense of how to make money by knowing the future. No she's still herself, an average student who struggled to maintain an average score in school. The best student and first ranker of their grade is still the oriFL. ML too wasn't cut out for studying. His scores are so bad lmao, & it won't change until the end. Don't get me wrong, he has so many strengths, it's just not in academics.

He looks like bastard at first. But after becoming friends (their group is 8 people), we know his true face is actually a rather foolish and punchable chatter box. It's so funny whenever he bickers with MC & the other friends. And then MC will complain to ML & oriFL lmao.

is happy end obviously.

There's a side story about the original novel too. Their life may be different but it's also a HE.

Maybe except Zhou Ji who sometimes could be a little childish even after he became an adult. But he still grew from being a spoiled and arrogant young master to a considerate and hardworking man.

However, she also knew that although the "future her" seemed so miserable, she still would end up with ML because no one loved her as much as ML and she couldn't love anyone other than ML. And indeed, in the extra, the future MC and ML in the dream ended up being together but not before going through so much.

FL and ML in original plot ended together but their journey was harder full with self blame, misunderstand and frustation. They 'wasted' ten years just to reach marriage staged. And thanks to this spoiler, they could be best friend with the original FL and ML
