Mr. Pei, Stop Looking. Miss Xia Has Lost All Hope and Leapt into the Sea

[Reunion after years apart + Some coercive pursuit + Husband chases his wife in vain + Both are each other's only one]

[Cool, resilient music teacher VS scheming, obsessive heir to a wealthy family]

When Pei Yue was nineteen, he told eighteen-year-old Xia Ruo, “I'll protect you for the rest of your life.”

But things didn't go as planned.

The proud young man broke his promise and let down his little wintersweet.

Five years later, they met again.

By then, he was an untouchable heir to a wealthy family, while she was a music teacher devoted to educating her students.

This time, he wouldn't let her go.

If she refused to start over, he'd resort to threats and temptation.

If she wanted a new love, he'd eliminate the competition.

In the bathroom, Pei Yue pinned Xia Ruo against the bathtub and warned her harshly, “Zuo Zuo, you'll belong to me for the rest of your life. Don't even think about running away.”

Years later, he knelt before her and begged, “Zuo Zuo, I'll be yours for my whole life. Please don't leave me.”
