Nightfall

[Under contract for publication]

Qin Yao hated Gu Xia. He hated her for dragging him off his pedestal and twisting him around her little finger five years ago.

He hated her for throwing herself into another man’s arms five years later, only to seduce and demean him the moment they met again, as if she intended to toy with him all over again.

This time, he would never submit to her again.

* He lingered in the abyss, where someone was always willing to trade despair for a moment of her pleasure.
