Cold, troubled heroine ✘ Obsessive, unhinged hero
[Coercive romance + Two-person drama + Redemption + Secret crush + One-on-one]
After an accident, Wen Jingzhi stays with Pei Sheng for four years. She believes it's all just an act, and is simply waiting for him to lose interest so they can each return to their own lives.
After all, Pei Sheng is a genuine golden boy, dominating the entertainment industry and adored by millions. Wen Jingzhi is dull by nature and from a poor family. They're worlds apart, and no one thinks they belong together.
Then the boy she once had a crush on returns from abroad, and Wen Jingzhi's long-dormant heart stirs again. When Pei Sheng questions her, she takes the initiative and tells him, “I’m in love with someone else. Let's end this on good terms.”
She thinks they can bring everything to a smooth end, but he grabs her by the throat and locks her in a gilded cage. He strokes her gently, leans close to her ear, and laughs coldly. “Jingzhi, you'll never leave me unless I'm dead...”
The woman beneath him replies evenly, “Pei Sheng, what if I never love you, not even after a lifetime?”
Content warning: The plot is melodramatic. The hero has an ex, and the heroine has an idealized first love.
