[Sweet, well-behaved Jiang Li & scheming male lead Zuo Yan]
“I heard you're afraid of me.”
Jiang Li's cheeks flushed as she replied, “No, I'm not afraid of you!”
Many years later,
when the figure she'd longed for appeared right before her eyes, she felt like a thief whose secret had been discovered. Her mind went blank, and all she could think of was escaping.
She was afraid. Afraid that the moment their eyes met, all her disguises would come crashing down. Afraid that if she opened her mouth, the feelings she'd suppressed for years would come flooding out, and the first words she'd utter would be a pathetic offer of forgiveness.
