Synopsis

One woman vs. three men, all the men are virgins, all-in romance.

[Coercion, domineering CEO, redemption, powerful men with secret identities, twisted love, unstable obsession]

Zhou Mingyu, heir to the Zhou family, has long been in love with his younger brother’s girlfriend, Nan Cheng. On his brother’s twentieth birthday, he resorts to underhanded methods to force Nan Cheng to break up with Zhou Wang, then registers their marriage the very next day.

Zhou Wang falls into despair and nearly takes his own life. He only narrowly survives after his mother forces him to leave the country.

To give birth to Zhou Wang’s daughter, she threatens Zhou Mingyu by slashing her wrists.

Helpless, Zhou Mingyu falls to his knees before her, eyes red from crying, and gives in.

Eight years later, Zhou Wang returns after completing his studies abroad, determined to reclaim his first love.

Zhou Mingyu’s eight years of suppressed love turn into a crazed obsession. He fears Zhou Wang and worries Nan Cheng will return to his arms.

Time and time again, he holds her tight in a fit of madness,

fingertips resting against her back, his voice hoarse.

“Would you dare see him again?”

The woman’s strength gives out, and even her fingertips tremble.

Eyes red, she begs him over and over:

“I won’t see him again. I won’t ever see him again...”

“Who do you love?”

“Zhou Mingyu. I love Zhou Mingyu.”

But their happiness doesn’t last long. Just as Nan Cheng gives him her heart, Zhou Wang closes his eyes and finally orders his men to move against Zhou Mingyu.

After many twists and turns, she can no longer escape Zhou Wang’s grasp.

She can only submit to and placate Ji Enchi, a rich second-generation heir and powerful figure in government circles.

She wraps her arms around his neck. The man frowns. “Are you trying to please me?”

“No. I want you. I yearn for you.”

If you're going to make it angsty, make it heartbreaking and physically brutal, taken to the extreme, with no forgiveness ever. Don't give me fake, half-hearted angst for the male lead. And don't give me scenes where the male lead is about to die after saving someone, while the female lead sobs beside him, saying, “Wake up, don't die, I forgive you.” Ugh... I hope someone gets it.
