After Blocking My Childhood Friend's Bad Romance, I Rise to the Top

A Leng and Lu Sijin have been childhood rivals since they were young, yet their classmates jokingly call them childhood sweethearts due to attending the same university. Neither of them accepts this label. A Leng complains that Lu Sijin has ruined her love life, so she uses various tactics to force and persuade him to help her pursue her ideal man. To hide his true feelings, Lu Sijin publicly agrees to A Leng's request while secretly sabotaging her efforts. Over time, their relationship grows increasingly distant, pushing them toward a path of mutual unrequited love that is destined to end in missed opportunities.
