Name: A Rose Kissed in the Abyss
Author: Sen Qili

Synopsis

Heartless, obsessive beauty vs. aloof, abstinent kingpin of Beijing

[Revenge + ruthless pursuit + forced love + winning her back + love at first sight]

Everyone in the capital knows that Jiang Ci loves Pei Siyan to the point of madness. She takes a knife and a car for him, doing everything she can to get by his side, all for the sake of a single glance.

Pei Siyan has a childhood sweetheart suffering from a serious illness. Everyone says she is the one in his heart, and rumors of their engagement spread. Jiang Ci neither cries nor makes a fuss. She obediently plays the part of his caged songbird.

It began with a white dress, dark hair, a dance, and a hand resting in his palm.

“Mr. Pei, I’m Jiang Ci.”

That one glance was all it took for Jiang Ci to follow him, and she stayed for three years.

Only later did Pei Siyan learn that what he thought was a chance encounter had actually been a revenge plot long in the making.

She smiled as she took his people and his heart. Her tender words and whispered endearments had all been lies.

Pei Siyan’s eyes reddened.

“You never loved me, did you?”

“Love? Pei Siyan, do you think you deserve to talk about love? I told you, no one in the Pei family is getting off easy... not a single one.”

After that, Pei Siyan’s name was constantly linked to one woman after another, whether an actress or a socialite. But it all came to an abrupt end when Jiang Ci terminated her pregnancy.

For the first time, the man lost control. He gripped her chin and nearly roared.

“Jiang Ci, get out of my world. Don’t let me see you again for the rest of your life.”

Years later, a madwoman appeared in the public eye.

Only then did people recognize her as the woman who had thrown the Pei family into chaos years ago.

Jiang Ci.
