As cherry blossoms drifted over the carved railings of the library, Yu Jiuyuan was sitting by the window, checking the last essay question of her graduate entrance exam.

Her fingertips traced the edge of the gold-embossed exam paper, and the pen wrote the last formula on the draft paper. A petal from outside the window landed on the tip of her dark hair, like a pink star that had been accidentally touched.

"President Yu, it's almost time to hand in your papers." The proctor's voice carried a hint of cautious respect.

As a legendary figure who was directly admitted to Saint Sakura from elementary school, Yu Jiuyuan's existence itself is shrouded in a halo.

He was re-elected as president of the student council, his study is filled with various competition awards, and now, as a senior student, he has applied for the most difficult interdisciplinary master's program at Saint Sakura.

It is said that the acceptance rate for this major has been less than 3% in recent years, and a perfect score is unprecedented.

When Yu Jiuyuan looked up, the coldness in her eyes instantly turned into a gentle smile. She neatly folded the test paper and draft paper and handed them over: "Thank you for your help, teacher."

Her voice was soft, sweet, and clear, like spring water infused with honey.

The moment the proctor received the exam paper, he caught a glimpse of the meticulously logical calculations and the elegant yet powerful answers on the draft paper, and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

When I walked out of the examination room, there were already many people waiting in the corridor, among whom four figures were particularly eye-catching.

Rong Shenghan leaned against the carved pillar, his tailor-made white suit accentuating his tall and straight figure. A perfectly measured smile played on his lips as he casually fiddled with a silver cufflink, but his gaze was firmly fixed on Yu Jiuyuan.

Noticing her come out, he stepped forward first, naturally taking the backpack from her hand. His fingertips brushed against the back of her hand, and he asked affectionately, "Finished the exam? Are you tired?"

"It's alright." Yu Jiuyuan looked up at him, her smile genuine and unwavering. "The questions weren't too difficult."

"Not difficult?"

Lin Yanran stood not far away with his arms crossed, his black leather jacket making his eyebrows and eyes appear even more arrogant. He raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

His tone carried his usual arrogance, yet his concern was undeniable.

"So, getting first place in the major is a sure thing?"

He never bothered to hide his emotions, and his concern for Yu Jiuyuan was as direct as the blazing sun.

Yu Jiuyuan chuckled softly, reached out and patted his arm, the gesture natural and affectionate: "Probably."

Her fingertips were slightly cool, and the moment they touched Lin Yanran's arm, the boy's ears turned red almost imperceptibly, but he still maintained his arrogant posture, only his eyes softened a little.

Yuan Xu pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, holding an open biology journal in her hand. Her eyes behind the lenses shone with an astonishing brightness: "I just looked at the reference list outside the exam room. Did you use the latest gene-editing technology case study for your last essay question?"

He was immersed in the world of academia, and only when his profession and Yu Jiuyuan were mentioned would he temporarily break out of that immersive state.

“Yes,” Yu Jiuyuan nodded and patiently explained, “That case is more in line with the requirements of the question, and the data is more convincing.”

Her knowledge is astonishingly broad, ranging from finance to biology, from philosophy to engineering; she is proficient in almost everything, which is the source of her confidence in easily mastering interdisciplinary majors.

Xie Zhecheng stood on the far side, impeccably dressed in a black suit, his face expressionless—a typical aloof perfectionist. Yet, when Yu Jiuyuan looked at him, he nodded slightly: "Go home and wait for the results."

His words were concise, yet carried an undeniable certainty, as if he had already foreseen the outcome.

As the heir to a top-tier legal family, he has always believed only in absolute strength, and Yu Jiuyuan's strength has long been beyond question.

As several people escorted Yu Jiuyuan out of the teaching building, they attracted the attention of many students.

Everyone at Saint Sakura Academy knows that this young lady of the Yu family is never short of excellent suitors.

No one expected that Xie Zhecheng, Rong Shenghan, Yuan Xu, and Lin Yanran—four outstanding young men from prominent families and top in their respective fields—would all be devoted to her at the same time, and even get along peacefully.

At least that's how it appears to outsiders.

When we returned to the villa, the butler had already prepared dinner.

The long dining table was filled with her favorite dishes. Rong Shenghan sat beside her, carefully peeling shrimp for her with elegant and skillful movements: "The details of the wedding banquet have been finalized. It will be held at the mountaintop manor, and the guests invited will be the closest relatives and friends of both sides."

"Okay." Yu Jiuyuan took a bite of shrimp, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "I'll do whatever you say."

Her compliance was just right, neither seeming perfunctory nor insincere, yet satisfying Rong Shenghan's desire for control, even though she was the one who truly controlled everything.

Lin Yanran sat opposite her, frowning in displeasure: "Making it so complicated."

Even so, he took a velvet box out of his pocket and pushed it in front of Yu Jiuyuan, saying, "This is for you, a wedding gift."

Inside the box was a custom-made sapphire necklace; the perfectly cut gemstone refracted a dazzling light under the lamp, making it quite valuable.

"Thank you, Yanran." Yu Jiuyuan accepted it without hesitation, put it on immediately, looked at herself in the mirror, and said, "It looks really good, I like it very much."

Yuan Xu adjusted her glasses and said softly, "I've prepared a model of the latest gene sequencing equipment for you, and I've placed it in your study."

He knew that Yu Jiuyuan was also interested in these things, although her interest was more about making herself more "all-rounder".

Xie Zhecheng then handed over a document: "I have reviewed the legal procedures for the wedding banquet, and there are no problems. In addition, I have secured exclusive access to the Saint Sakura Laboratory for you, which you can use at any time during your graduate studies."

His efforts were always so practical and thoughtful, taking her needs to be taken into consideration in every way.

Yu Jiuyuan accepted them one by one, her smile remaining gentle and sweet.
