[A highly intelligent, monstrous, emotionless heroine × a failed male lead who starts out mature and rational, then turns dark and dangerously obsessive]
Can a monster who only toys with people’s hearts and seeks thrills ever grow a human heart?
Bored, Shi Zui deliberately approaches Yan Zhe at a friend’s birthday party, leading him astray and driving him to obsession. It was only supposed to be a diversion, but somehow, uncontrollable feelings seem to take root.
As she hesitates over what to do with the man before her, Yan Zhe is the one who asks to break up first?
Good. No one can escape her grasp!
Not even Yan Zhe, the man who made her develop feelings, is an exception!
To Yan Zhe, love is a seasoning in life. With it, life has more flavor; without it, he can still live just fine.
With a family like his, an arranged marriage is inevitable someday. Dating is simply an experience to have before marriage: if there are feelings, date; if not, move on. Why make yourself suffer?
Until he meets Shi Zui, a woman who effortlessly gets him under her thumb. She is stunning enough to take his breath away and cold-blooded enough to drive him mad, more poisonous than poppies and more heart-piercing than a demon!
In the dull, predictable life he could see stretching out before him, Shi Zui’s arrival was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, accompanied by a shower of flowers!
He knows Shi Zui feels nothing for him, yet he’s addicted to her all the same.
To preserve what little dignity he has left, he breaks up with her. If he can’t afford to provoke her, he can at least stay out of her way!
He’s lying low. That’s what this is!
From then on, his womanizing days are over, and his carefree life is no more…
Later, by chance, he goes home with Shi Zui. Her kind, portly housekeeper smiles and says, “Mr. Yan, you’re the first man Miss Shi has ever brought home!”
Yan Zhe: For some reason… that actually makes me pretty happy.
