He Would Bend the Knee and Submit

[Gentle, delicate Jiangnan beauty vs. gentle but unhinged big shot] [This is a story about a man avenging his parents] After stepping into the abyss, Sheng Huaizhi, known by everyone as the overlord of the capital, was a ruthless man who committed every kind of evil. Everyone feared and despised him. But later, the world finally saw how, in that sunless world, he stooped to pick up bottles for the homeless and spent all night rushing back and forth to the hospital for a sick mother and daughter. By then, everyone was calling Sheng Huaizhi the overlord of the capital, a towering figure at the very top. He was gentle and kind, and surely had everything he could ever want. - Sheng Huaizhi knew he was someone who had to remain hidden from the light. His name and his love were hidden from the light, too. He loved Shen Zhitang deeply, but he didn't dare let anyone know. - To avenge his parents, he left the capital at the age of five and wandered from place to place until he reached Jiangnan. That was where he first met Shen Zhitang. For her sake, he concealed his identity and became her classmate, but their happy days didn't last long. His enemies found him. When Sheng Huaizhi was unable to protect the person he loved, he ran. He used a faked death to deceive both his enemies and Shen Zhitang. - Sheng Huaizhi understood that Shen Zhitang would never be part of his life again. Even if they crossed paths, he would secretly protect and cherish her for her safety, content to be a stranger. But one day, when Shen Zhitang threw herself into his arms, he could no longer hold back. Overjoyed, he thought she was finally his. But then... As he watched the person he loved lying in a pool of blood, telling him it had all been worth it, Sheng Huaizhi was overcome by endless pain for the first time. If he hadn't drawn her into his life... would things have turned out differently? Opening: “Classmate Sheng, I'm here to pick you up.” Ending: “Mr. Sheng, I'm here to pick you up.”
