[Top-Tier Elite Family] [Love and Hate] [Everyone Is Unhinged] [Powerful Rivals]
Qin Ran has only ever had two goals: surpass Jin Xiao and kill Jin Xiao!
Ever since Qin Ran was old enough to remember, this man had always outshone her. She couldn't understand why an outsider had earned all of her father's attention. Then the family group fell into ruin and her father died. The man appeared before her in a new identity, and she became someone who had to cling to his protection just to survive.
Qin Ran refuses to live alongside her father's killer, only to be used and controlled by him.
But every time she escapes, the man relentlessly drags her back.
"Qin Ran, do I have to tell you again? If you want to live, stay by my side and behave."
Even with Qin Ran's dagger at his throat, he only gives her a lazy, teasing smile. "Want revenge? I'll be waiting."
Qin Ran knows Jin Xiao is keeping her alive to use her. She, too, maintains their balance of mutual exploitation for the sake of revenge.
But one day, when the man named Jiang Zhi returns, all her carefully maintained composure crumbles. He is the person she once held closest to her heart.
And Jin Xiao is his elder.
To keep her identity hidden, Qin Ran deliberately keeps her distance from Jiang Zhi and avoids any direct contact.
In the lounge, Jin Xiao seems to see right through all her thoughts and insists on going against her wishes. "Qin Ran, what do you think will happen if he comes in? Will he recognize you?"
Qin Ran knows Jiang Zhi is an upright man, and has made every preparation to keep her identity hidden.
But when the door opens, she is never the one who loses her composure.
Everyone thinks Jin Xiao is prouder than Qin Ran, until one day they happen to hear him say softly:
"Qin Ran, forget him."
"Be with me."
