Zhang Yueling, known as Mestra Metal, was a renowned rockstar in Japan, but his career took an unexpected turn when an incident at Kings Entertainment led him to take a break. Seeking solace and anonymity, he returned to China, where he enrolled in a new school during the second quarter of the 11th grade.

Yue, as he preferred to be called in his civilian life, quickly gained popularity in his new school for his exceptional academic intelligence. However, rumors began circulating about his family's alleged involvement with a notorious gangster group, a truth that Yue had been trying to escape. In the prestigious halls of Tiong Se Academy, where societal expectations dictate destiny, Zhang Yueling, known as Yue, stands out as a seventeen-year-old with a genius mind and an icy demeanor. With a towering height of 186 cm, he is the son of a prominent gang leader, navigating a world where his lineage and intellect set him apart. Yue purposely maintains a facade of laziness and academic apathy, concealing his true abilities and intelligence. 

Enter Alexander Zhao, a brilliant and charming Chinese-American guy with a reputation for rich delinquency and hidden potential. At 190 cm, Alexander is a charismatic extrovert and a genius in his own right. Preferring to keep a low profile, Yue refrained from making friends until he encountered Alexander Zhao, a vibrant student who had recently transferred to the same school. Alex became Yue's classmate, desk mate, and dormmate, breaking through Yue's guarded exterior with his extroverted personality. Despite their shared prowess in combat, Yue and Alexander's initial meeting is marked by mutual disdain. However, as they unravel the mysteries of their pasts and navigate the challenges of a school obsessed with perfection, an unlikely bond forms between the two.

Yue's cold exterior and Alexander's extroverted charm create a dynamic that defies societal norms. As they face rivalries, societal expectations, and the shadows of their own secrets, they discover that true strength goes beyond appearances. The story delves into themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the transformative power of genuine connection. Will Yue frosty exteriors thaw to reveal the warmth of genuine connection, or will the pressures of their world shatter the alliance they've forged?

Frigidly Alluring

In the heart of Guangzhou, within the cozy confines of a bustling café, Zhang Yueliang, known as Yue, found solace in the rhythmic tap-tapping of his fingers on the keyboard. The air was filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the subtle hum of conversations around him. With his laptop open, Yue was in the midst of crafting his latest R-18 novel, each keystroke a deliberate dance of creativity.

However, inspiration proved elusive on this particular day. Frustration crept in, and Yue decided to take a moment to rest his mind. He closed his laptop and glanced around the café, contemplating the vibrant energy that filled the air. As if on cue, the enticing aroma of a caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino wafted through the air, prompting Yue to head back to the counter.

A few minutes later, with his new order in hand, Yue heard his name being called. Simultaneously, another name echoed in the café – Alexander. Unbeknownst to him, fate had orchestrated a serendipitous mix-up. Both he and a mysterious figure named Alexander had unknowingly ordered the same drink.

Yue, lost in thought, failed to realize the mix-up until a stranger approached him. The guy's gaze met Yue's, and for a fleeting moment, time seemed to pause. Yue snapped out of his reverie when the stranger spoke.

"I believe that's my order. My name is written on it. This one is yours, I guess, 'Yue,'" the guy said, gesturing toward the swapped drinks.

Yue looked down at the cup in his hands, realizing the mistake. He apologized hastily as the two exchanged drinks and returned to their respective seats. As Yue sipped the unfamiliar frappuccino, he couldn't shake the encounter from his mind.

The name "Alexander" lingered in Yue's thoughts, and a spark of inspiration ignited within him. What if he could weave a tale around this mysterious man who had shared a brief connection with him in the crowded café? The wheels of Yue's imaginative mind began to turn, contemplating the potential for a captivating character in his upcoming novel.
