[A cool, reserved thirty-year-old uncle + a scheming, vengeful twenty-one-year-old queen]
[A teasing, calculating big bad wolf + a roguishly handsome puppy]
A sweet story of mutual redemption, with satisfying payoffs. Both leads are dominant types, balancing love and ambition.
A goofy younger brother plays matchmaker, while the rival family’s older brother lends a hand.
When Qin Shuo was twenty, he saved eleven-year-old Cheng Mo and trained her to become an elite agent. He helped her pursue revenge, all while using her for his own ends.
The shadows of his parents’ past left him afraid to love anyone. Cheng Mo knew she was in love with Qin Shuo by the time she was fifteen. As they pursued revenge, Qin Shuo’s feelings for her gradually became clear, and an accident quickly brought them closer.
Only then did Cheng Mo discover that the usually cold and distant Qin Shuo could be so clingy.
Early Qin Shuo: “I only keep her at arm’s length to make sure she stays devoted to me and does what I say.”
Later Qin Shuo: “I don’t think I can live without Cheng Mo.”

Shame jolted him back to his senses. He bit down hard, splitting Song Shiyuan’s lip. Blood instantly filled their mouths.
Song Shiyuan angrily pulled away from his lips. Without the slightest tenderness, he moved toward his neck
