The Obsessive Mogul's Painstaking Efforts

[A possessive, unhinged tycoon and a gentle sweetheart, the powerful one bows his head, both are each other's first and only love]

In the Kingdom of Xiu, a surname was one's destiny, and love was one's calamity. Xiu Mingyan, a towering god of the business and political worlds, was the most unhinged ruler in history.

From an abandoned prince to the supreme power holder, he fought his way through a sea of blood, yet willingly bowed to her.

Ji Jinse's life faded away time and again like the morning mist, but each time he pulled her back from the brink of death.

His love was suffocating and frenzied. He craved her like blood, spoiling her with everything he had, even his life. He went to painstaking lengths to torment her, all to find irrefutable proof that she had once loved him.

To escape him and live happily ever after with Xiao Lin, she threatened to kill herself, and only then did she make the demon with an overpowering need for control let her go.

Blood, so much blood, was soaking the flowers he had planted with his own hands, turning them crimson.

Crash!

The weapon fell to the ground. She was so frightened she could barely think straight.

When the blade went in, even a demon must feel pain, right?

He curled his strange red lips into a cold smile. "Little Flower, isn't my life what you want? I'll count to three. If you can't get away, then we'll die together."

He choked out a cough, and fresh blood sprayed from him in a violent gush.

His large, bloodstained hand clamped around her slender waist, leaving a vivid red handprint there, irrefutable proof that she had deliberately hurt him.

Their tangled love and hatred stretched back through ninety-nine lifetimes. He remembered everything, but she had forgotten.

In every lifetime, he handed her a knife. "Kill me, or love me."

In every lifetime, she drove the blade an inch off course. "I can't bear to, but I'm even more afraid to stay."

Round and round they went.

They had long since turned reincarnation into a punch-in routine. Ninety-nine times, every "reunion" had been stamped "failed." Perhaps this would be the lifetime when they finally found happiness.
