That year, Shu Jing set out to investigate the truth behind her brother's car accident and got involved with the second young master of the Duan family, a centuries-old clan in Lincheng.
She began pursuing him for her own gain, only to receive his deep and tender love in return.
“My woman is mine to protect.”
Then he discovered her playbook.
“Shu Jing, the fish has already taken the bait. It isn't going anywhere.”
“Weren't you only staying by my side for your brother's sake?”
Before she could confess her love, he sentenced it to death.
Three years later, she returned to the country in dire straits.
He deliberately blocked her car at the airport. “Shu Jing, you're really good at hiding.”
From the day she came back, he spent countless days and nights waiting outside the apartment complex where she lived.
Later, he gently caressed her face, his voice sensual and humble. “Shushu, could you use me one more time?”
Later still, eyes red and brimming with tears, he knelt before her. “Shushu, I'm the one who doesn't deserve your love.”
For all the years to come, I'll live only for you.
