Gu Jingxi was an illegitimate son of the Gu family, with a status no one respected. For the sake of the “woman he loved,” he hid his sharp edges and even spent five years in prison. People trampled his dignity into the dirt, and in return, all he got was deception and exploitation from beginning to end.
Worse, his own mistakes kept putting the “older sister” who had always cared for him in danger, time and time again.
Then one day, he realized he had loved the wrong person, and had been wrong about everything from beginning to end. He decided to start over, leave behind his old submissiveness, and reveal his true, arrogant and scheming self, making everyone who had used him pay dearly.
“Luoluo, if I had known it was you, I wouldn't have had to suffer so much.”
“I never realized that you were the one at the heart of my obsession…”
An older-woman-younger-man romance: the heroine protects the hero at first, then he becomes her protector.
They are devoted to each other, and the two leads are always on the same side.
Not bad
