Synopsis

To raise money for his younger brother's bone cancer treatment, Qiu Yeqing takes a job at a private club.

On his very first day, he gets tangled up with Cheng Yuan, a ruthless rich kid, and ends up in the hospital.

Desperate to get discharged, Qiu Yeqing bolts from his room. In his panic, he collides with Jiang Lan at the door as Jiang Lan is heading to visit a patient next door.

After that accidental “throwing himself into his arms,” Qiu Yeqing can't stop thinking about Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan, a principled accountant, gets blackout drunk after the person he's loved for eleven years chooses someone else.

Jiang Lan can't accept it, while Qiu Yeqing is willing.

Jiang Lan asks Qiu Yeqing to date him, and Qiu Yeqing agrees. He doesn't want to wonder whether Jiang Lan is only acting on a whim. He can't get enough of him.

From then on, Jiang Lan gives the insecure Qiu Yeqing all the tenderness and love he could wish for.

But once some people have breathed in the abyss, they can never escape its grasp...

Cheng Yuan sets his sights on Qiu Yeqing, growing twisted and obsessive...

Ending: Happy ending, with some angst later on.

Content warnings: melodramatic plot and tropes, not both leads' first time.

Having read this book, one can only say that the author's writing is both realistic and imbued with the beautiful fantasy of fiction. Jiang Lan believed in Qiu Yeqing from beginning to end, and Cheng Yuan clung to her relentlessly. Fortunately, in the end, the lovers didn't miss each other. Cheng Yuan also realized that he had lost; what did it matter if he couldn't let go?

Well, it's a bit of a dilemma. Cheng likes Qiu, but he doesn't know what love is or how to love. Plus, he has a distorted mentality stemming from his childhood, which is... Well, it's just... And Jiang is truly wonderful, unchanging. The secondary couple is also very sweet.

It's good, but I'm a little confused. Who said the male lead is Cheng Yuan?

It's a really good story, even though it's not finished yet. I support Jiang and Qiu being together 🥺 I can't stand seeing good people not get a good ending. Cheng is too wicked, so I have to give him a bad ending 🥺

After reading this book, Cheng Yuan gave me the illusion that he really resembled Leonardo DiCaprio from "The Wolf of Wall Street". He possesses the ruthlessness of a lone wolf, a bloodthirsty hunger for his prey, and a willingness to fight to the death, even if he loses, he'll fight again. Such a person is truly terrifying, but I feel more pity for him than anything else. He failed. Oh, right. Cheng Yuan's personality type is classified as "borderline personality disorder" in psychology.

It's so good, I love it! I couldn't resist watching it until 2:30 last night, and I almost couldn't get up for work this morning 🤦🤦

I've read half of it, and it's really good. The author brings to life the non-existent elements in the car description. I've finished reading it, and I love every single character! I won't say more, I'm going straight to read the author's next book! 🥰

It's quite good, not too angsty, just with an extra suitor who's particularly assertive. The author's writing is excellent, very engaging, and the endings are all quite good.

What to do? Even though Cheng Yuan is a terrible person with a awful personality, I still hope they end up together and Qiu Qing falls in love with Cheng Yuan. That would be a really exciting ending! 🍉 Support Cheng Yuan Support Cheng Yuan Support Cheng Yuan @
