(Proud, possessive CEO x stubborn, brave actress; the male lead is forceful in love.)
When Lin Shenyue was five, she came from the countryside to Yuncheng. Apart from Chu Yang, nobody welcomed her.
She was timid, insecure, fragile, and sensitive, but no one knew how stubborn she could be.
Chu Yang was the only light in her bleak life. She worked hard to catch up with him, hoping that one day she could stand beside him as his equal.
But he saw her only as a younger sister, and he already had a beautiful, highborn fiancée.
Lin Shenyue knew it was time to wake up from the fantasy she had spun for herself.
If no one loved her, she would love herself. If there was no light, she would work hard to become her own.
To make her debut, Lin Shenyue practically sold herself to Gu Ruochen.
Later, she shot to fame and won the affection of countless people, just as she had hoped.
But nobody knew that backstage at her concert, people came and went outside the dressing room.
Gu Ruochen, meanwhile, took his time settling her on his lap and teasing the little mole on her earlobe.
The warmth of his fingertips was so domineering it felt as if it would burn its way into her heart. Her eyes were red, and she trembled like a helpless kitten.
“Mr. Gu, I have to go on stage soon.”
Gu Ruochen wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer, then lightly bit her earlobe. His voice was low and icy.
“What did you call me?”
Lin Shenyue shivered, her face as red as a ripe tomato.
“Ma... Master.”
She had never thought well of him. Besides arrogance and rudeness, she now had another word for him: perverted and unhinged.
