19 Days Summary: Chapter 1-397

I've been keeping a running summary for myself (I've been reading this for years!), but I think it's probably useful for anyone who's wondering, "What chapter is it where..." So here it is!

Colors only show chapters that make up a day: a series of green entries, for example, shows a single day, and then there's a change of color for the next day. Flash forwards (adult-ish scenes) are in white.

he tian: i'm the responsible one in this relationship. mo guan shan: you literally just set the toaster on fire. he tian: and i take full responsibility for that.

he tian: you can become a millionaire in no time.

mo guan shan: yeah? and how?
