[Two couples + high school romance + openly pursuing, secretly flirting]
A sweet, well-behaved girl with a dark side × a wealthy young master who does as he pleases...

The night Shen Jingqi tore off his disguise, his teeth were still stained with blood. “You taught me to lick my wounds. Now you have to see this through.” He knelt to offer her a collar, yet in the shadows he broke the wrists of everyone who reached for her.
“How strange...” The girl leaned down, one foot on the boy’s shoulder. “I picked up this stray dog, so how did I end up being the one he tamed?”

The haughty heiress Lin Yunxin never expected to fall for Cheng, the top student at her university. Sure, we have far too many reasons we shouldn’t be together, but whenever he’s standing there, I lose my head.
Lin: “I’ll buy you this xx.”

Lin: “Perfect, then I’ll buy you a fridge!”
Cheng: …
Lin: [I can afford to buy anything in the world, except you. No amount of money can put a price on you.]
Cheng: [Lin Yunxin, you win. “In the end, your rose took root on my barren island.”]
