Don't You Dare Cling to Me

She spent her whole youth loving him, and left him in the cruelest way possible.

He loved her. He once took a knife and fought someone for her, nearly stabbing them to death and landing in prison.

His mother hated her and plotted to ruin her, but by a twist of fate, she ended up hurting her own daughter instead.

“Let me go…” At last, she pleaded with him.

“Lin Tang, when I look at you, I want to strangle you. But damn it, I know that if I let you go, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
