I Want to Devour Her

[A brooding, calculating, tongue-tied male lead x a sensitive, self-doubting, softhearted female lead] Both first loves / Secret love comes true / Campus romance / Happy ending

Less than a month after her mother died of cancer, her father brought Chen Zhi to a new home.

That was the first time she met Qu Chao.

He was handsome and polished. Unlike her, with her eyes red from crying over her mother and all her embarrassment laid bare, he was dazzling.

Her mother had never received even a scrap of her father’s love, right up to her death. Qu Chao wasn’t even her father’s child, yet her father still welcomed his mother and gave them all his love.

She hated this family, hated her coldhearted father, hated Qu Chao for winning her father’s affection so effortlessly, and hated her gentle, considerate aunt.

But she also hated her own weakness, so she shut everyone out.

Until one day, Qu Chao’s eyes glistened with tears as he pulled her into his arms, furious that someone had confessed to her. He held her tightly, his voice trembling with hurt as he begged, “Please, Chen Zhi. Please look at me. Don’t push me away again.”

At some point, Chen Zhi realized that even she, who had never been cherished, seemed to be deeply loved by someone.

Only later did she understand that no matter what she did, there was no escaping him. He had already made her his, body and soul.
