Synopsis
Everyone says Yao Jiayin is lucky.
She came from a poor, remote village and leapt straight into becoming the girlfriend of a top-tier second-generation heir in Beijing’s elite circle.
Yao Jiayin thought so too—until—
Her boyfriend, Zhong He, became increasingly possessive. He grew paranoid, suspicious of everything, and even began monitoring her.
Afraid and fed up, Yao Jiayin turned to her boyfriend’s older brother for help, hoping he could help her escape this sickly obsessive relationship.
Zhong Xianzhi—the true power holder of the Zhong family.
In front of him, even Zhong He could only lower his head and obediently accept reprimands.
His wealth was immeasurable. He was tall, handsome, cultured, and impeccably mannered.
With the boyfriend’s older brother stepping in, the breakup was very effective—too effective.
Zhong He completely lost control. Gossip about biological brothers getting into a violent fight late at night and ending up hospitalized spread through the social circle in multiple versions.
On the day her ex-boyfriend left the country, Yao Jiayin’s lips were bitten until they bled by Zhong Xianzhi.
He licked the crimson blood clean, swallowing even the tears that fell.
With his façade torn away, Zhong Xianzhi smiled with sick obsession as he kissed her devotedly.
“From the moment you decided to come to me, you already knew I’d take the bait—didn’t you? ”
“Tell me—was I the one you liked from the very beginning? ”
“Don’t be afraid, baby. Whatever you do, your husband can forgive you… I love you more than he ever did.”
Yao Jiayin: As expected of biological brothers—the possessiveness in their bones is only stronger, never weaker.
Synopsis
Blurb:
The first time Shi Xing met Ji Yu was during the summer of her junior year in college, when she was volunteering.
A badminton match was playing on the screen inside a convenience store. As she stood by the freezer, stretching onto her tiptoes to grab a bottle of jasmine honey tea, a pair of long, well-defined hands reached out and took it down for her first.
She turned her head and met a pair of deep, dark eyes. The boy’s refined features came into view, gradually overlapping with the face of the athlete on the screen.
In that instant, her heart seemed to skip a beat. An unfamiliar emotion quietly spread through her chest.
*
Years after their breakup, the two meet again.
By then, one has become a nationally famous, top-tier athlete who rose to fame at a young age; the other is still a newly hired, inexperienced team doctor.
No one expected that two people who appeared to have nothing in common would cross paths again.
Until one day, people saw Ji Yu holding Shi Xing tightly in a dim corner, gently brushing his cheek against hers. His voice was low and coaxing as he pleaded softly,
“Please… don’t leave me again, okay?”
*
After Ji Yu won a championship, a reporter once asked him during an interview:
“I heard that your girlfriend was the one who fell for you first?”
He let out a low, ambiguous chuckle and glanced meaningfully toward the audience, where Shi Xing sat.
“Long before she ever noticed me,” he said, “I had already fallen for her.”
