*IMPORTANT*

Now that I have your attention, ASIAN DRAMA RESOURCE has moved...

When I upgraded from Blogger Beta to Blogger I lost access to this blog. The only reason I'm able to post right now is because my wonderful co-administraitor gave me her user name and password.

I have completely transfered this blog to my new account. You can access it here.

I'm sorry this has happened, but I spent a lot of time transfering all the information to make it as easy as possible for my patrons. I've made updates to the existing posts, and I've also added dramas.

I'll see you over at ADR2. Remember to update bookmarks!

Later, she decides to find out all about him and get to be friends with the one she highly respects. The only problem is Quan goes to an ALL BOYS SCHOOL! After much persuasion of her family and gaining the help of her good friend, Rui Xi then disguises herself as a boy and goes to the high school Quan attends. Coincidently and perheps by fate, she is the same class and is also Quan's roommate! On her first day of school, she was late and bumped into someone on the way to class. In a hurry, she rushed off without apologizing. Much to her dismay, that guy was Quan. She wanted to be friends with Quan and was very straightforward about it but was "rejected" (he thought she was gay, so maybe too straightforward). Liking that Rui Xi is rather straightforward, Jin Xiu Yi, the school soccer star, befriends Rui Xi.

During a P.E. lesson, everyone was shocked to discover that Rui Xi was a very fast runner, even breaking the school's record held by Xiu Yi. A jealous Xiu Yi challenges her to a soccer match. During the match, she faints after getting hit at the head by Xiu Yi's elbow when he finally snatched the ball from her. Quan comes to her rescue (and finds out that she is REALLY A GIRL but keeps it to himself) and he brings her to the school's doctor, Mei Tian, who is a gay. He too, finds out about Rui Xi's identity but promises to keep it a secret. He soon became her counselor when she needed someone to talk to. Xiu Yi soon falls in love with Rui Xi, but doesn't know that Rui Xi is a girl and believes that he, himself, is gay.

Quan and Rui Xi soon become friends and begin to develop a very close friendship. Many mishaps and challenges await Rui Xi. Will she be able to get through high school perfectly, without anyone discovering that she's a girl, but at the same time stay close to Quan?
