This isn’t good. Don’t read it! (Outwardly gentle, inwardly pretentious and possessive male lead × stunningly beautiful, ambitious female lead; both leads are each other’s only partner; pregnancy and running away; misunderstanding trope) [A little groveling-to-win-her-back, reunion after a breakup, urban setting, adult romance] Nine years ago, Lin Zhiyi painfully broke up with her beloved boyfriend, Shen Tianbai, to protect her mother, claiming she had found a wealthy benefactor. Now, she runs into Shen Tianbai, who has become a renowned professor, at a high-level academic forum. Lin Zhiyi is conflicted by their reunion, while Shen Tianbai is torn between love and hate. During this time, he uncovers Lin Zhiyi’s secret from back then and learns about her sacrifice and the circumstances that forced her hand. Outwardly refined and mild-mannered, he is inwardly twisted by jealousy and possessiveness, vowing to keep Lin Zhiyi by his side once more. Their tangled feelings and conflicts intensify, pulling Lin Zhiyi into a whirlpool of love and hate, redemption and punishment. Through repeated confrontations and emotional clashes, can they overcome the gulf of nine years and find a home in each other’s hearts? 【Don’t let the blurb scare you off.
