I Spoiled a Mad Beauty

[Mutual devotion, sweet romance, secret identities exposed, face-slapping, a groveling pursuit after a breakup, and more. He’s possessive, extremely possessive! The male lead is raised by the heroine.] [Devoted, obsessive biology prodigy X haughty, blunt, top-tier assassin] Everyone knows Yuan Yi loves Shen Zhou. No one knows Shen Zhou loves Yuan Yi with all her heart. Beneath her stunning looks, Shen Zhou hides a million secret identities and a cold, ruthless nature. She’s elusive and kills without a trace, yet the organization covets her, deceives and exploits her, then frames her. Gravely injured, she’s found by a kid who seems innocent and harmless… “I’m broke! Go scam someone else!” “You’re asking to die!” … Yuan Yi gave half his life to loving Shen Zhou, only to hear her say in the end, “You know I don’t love you, right? I’ve made it obvious enough that I’ve only been humoring you. From the beginning, I never meant to be with you. You kept throwing yourself at me. I thought you were… pretty good-looking, and I happened to be single, so I figured I’d play along. But after a while… I got tired of it, and you started annoying me, so I began to avoid you…” When Yuan Yi finally loses all hope, the thread of affection he’d held onto for so long has already grown so brittle that the slightest tug will snap it. It’s time to put an end to all his self-deception… Everyone thinks Yuan Yi was nothing more than a plaything Shen Zhou picked up when she was bored. … But later, that haughty, untouchable woman begins to grow meek and desperate… “Shen Zhou, let me go, and let yourself go too.” “I won’t, and I won’t let you. You can only be mine!” Yuan Yi sneers. “Are you threatening me?” “No,” Shen Zhou chokes out. “I’m begging you.” …Every effort I’ve made since leaving you has been to get back to your side and have you all to myself!
