A stunning, sharp-tongued, stubborn troublemaker × a possessive, scheming, deeply devoted prince

[Mutual first love + Rekindled romance + Sweet and angsty pursuit + Happy ending + Powerful man learns to bend + Five-year age gap]

Three years ago,

Qiao Er and Pei Yu'an were photographed kissing passionately at a hotel late at night. The next day, the Pei family responded immediately: “They’re a couple.”

When Xie Yanjin, with whom she had been secretly dating for two years, confronted her, Qiao Er smiled sweetly:

“You and I were just having fun. You didn’t take it seriously, did you?”

“Xie Yanjin, we’ve been together for two years. Don’t stand in the way of my pursuit of true love.”

The woman he had cherished like his own heart for years hurt Xie Yanjin so badly that he lost control:

“Qiao Er, anyone who betrays me belongs in hell. I’ll give you one chance. Just say you have nothing to do with him, and I’ll pretend none of this ever happened.”

She refused his chance, and she didn’t go to hell.

As she left, Xie Yanjin held her and wept. “Qiao Er, if you dare walk away, I’ll never love you again.”

-

Much later, all the misunderstandings were cleared up.

The man chased after Qiao Er, demanding a title: an official, aboveboard boyfriend, preferably a husband.

But theirs wasn’t a matter involving just the two of them.

She said, “I do have some affection for you, Xie Yanjin. But this little bit of love isn’t enough to make me choose to fight by your side.”

-

A friend asked Xie Yanjin, “Are you really letting go? Going back to being just like brother and sister?”

The man’s dark eyes were fathomless. “Let go?”

Only if she killed him with her own hands.

He would make those people beg Qiao Er to marry him.

Content notes:

The female lead hurts the male lead; the male lead saves the female lead.

The heroine is no sweet, kind-hearted innocent. She’s fiercely aggressive.
