[One-on-one, faithful to each other: a principled, courageous top lawyer heroine x a seemingly mild but secretly ruthless, obsessive wealthy CEO]
On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Min Qingshuang was drugged and caught in bed with Huo Jixian. At the same time, the Min family was framed and driven into bankruptcy, and that very night her parents sent her abroad for her safety.
Eight years later, when her sick father was refused admission to the hospital, Min Qingshuang returned to China as a lawyer to find a doctor who could treat him.
Huo Jixian found her the very night she came back. He stopped her car in the street and dragged her away. While he was showering, she pretended to faint and escaped, only to be caught again the next day.
He helped her find a doctor for her father and gave her chances to prove herself at work. As they spent more and more time together, she finally saw her own feelings clearly.
Huo Jixian’s parents had married for family interests. From the moment he was born, they never loved him. He was the unwanted result of their union.
When he was six, his mother caught his father with her mentally disabled younger sister. That was the last straw, and his mother took her own life.
He watched as his mother’s blood spread across the floor. Desperate to escape that oppressive, twisted home, he got lost and met Qingshuang.
Qingshuang took him home and gave him the cure and hope that would heal him for the rest of his life.
She was his rainbow.
He thought about her day and night, yearning for her until he went mad, until he was consumed by it.
Resting his head on Qingshuang’s shoulder, he held her tight and choked out, “Qingshuang, please, just look at me. Please, try to love me.”
“Even just a little.”
“Without you, I really won’t be able to go on.”
