Crossing Paths with You on a Spring Night

Long-Awaited Reunion + Rekindled Love + Marriage Before Love + Devoted Couple

Aloof, down-on-her-luck dream girl X cold on the outside, warm on the inside, restrained powerful man

When they met again, she was a waitress.

He sat with his well-matched childhood sweetheart, a perfect pair.

She accidentally hurt her hand and fled in a panic.

She had no idea that the usually proud and aloof man had curled his fingers and asked without thinking, “Do you have a bandage?”

She was bound to him by a contract.

His voice was cold. “I need a wife, and you need my money. We both get what we want.”

She thought it was just a transaction, until one day she came across him chatting and smoking with his friends.

Qin Zhinan's fingers holding the cigarette twitched. Ash fell as he sneered, “I have too many enemies. Sang He knows me well and has no connections. She's perfect for taking a bullet meant for Qingluo. She's obedient and useful.”

So she was nothing but a “useful” human shield.

One glance in their youth had left her spellbound. She secretly kept her crush to herself throughout high school. When they met again at university, he was the campus golden boy, admired by all, with one girlfriend after another.

She fled in humiliation, thinking they'd never cross paths again, only for him to drag her back into the turmoil.

“Qin Zhinan, I'm tired. Stop tormenting me.” She pushed him away, her voice hoarse.

The man gripped the back of her neck, his scorching breath falling against her lips. Madness, restrained for years, burned in his eyes. “Sang He, I'm sick

“But you're my cure.

“This lifetime, I insist on having you.”
