Three Years of Dating with No Progress, Then One Glance at Her Cousin's Uncle Ruins Her for Life

[Long-laid plans, both virgins]

[Male lead secretly loves the female lead, extremely possessive, takes her by force, not a good person, schemes his way to the top]

Shi Tiantian had always been certain she would marry Fang Yanliang one day.

They'd known each other for years and were considered the perfect couple. Even though their feelings had faded to the point of being as dull as water, they still cared for each other.

On Fang Yanliang's twenty-second birthday, she braved the snowstorm and traveled a thousand miles to celebrate with him.

She never expected the person who came to pick her up would be Fang Yanliang's maternal uncle, Xie Chengjing.

Shi Tiantian had only ever heard Xie Chengjing's name. She'd never met him before.

His commanding presence made her feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles, even sharing a car with him.

They didn't exchange a word the entire way. She didn't manage to say “Uncle” until she got out of the car, when she tacked on “thank you” as well.

Xie Chengjing only glanced at her and didn't seem to acknowledge her greeting.

Shi Tiantian was sure Xie Chengjing didn't like her.

But later, when she was trapped in a blizzard and nearly died, she saw Xie Chengjing running toward her like a madman.

As she lay on the verge of death from the cold, Xie Chengjing took off the clothes that had been keeping him alive and put them on her to warm her.

Through that great snowstorm, Xie Chengjing carried her home, step by painstaking step, while she lay barely alive.

Could anyone in this world love you so much they'd want to give you their life?

Xie Chengjing: “Yes.”

He said, “Tiantian, you are my life. If I can't have you while I'm alive, I'd rather die with you.”

Only later did she learn that this man had always lived in darkness.

And for all those years, she had been the only light that ever shone on him.
