A Poisonous Kiss to the Bone

(Warning: this is an angsty story!!!!!)

On her twentieth birthday, Guan Xi’s world collapsed completely. Her parents jumped to their deaths after going bankrupt and leaving behind huge debts, along with her five-year-old sister. She went from being a college student to a bar hostess, sinking into the mire just to survive, never knowing she had already become the target of someone else’s revenge.

Fu Yiheng had waited twenty years for this moment. Back then, Guan Xi’s father had ruined his family through financial fraud. Now that his enemy was dead, the debt would be paid by the daughter. He carefully laid a tender trap, destroying Guan Xi body and soul before vanishing without a trace. As Guan Xi struggled in despair, pregnant and heartbroken, a thirty-five-year-old Mr. Shang came to her aid, only to drag her into another marriage and another cycle of revenge.

Five years passed, and the wheels of fate began to turn again. Mr. Shang’s wife died by suicide, and Guan Xi was free once more. But then she crossed paths with Fu Yiheng, who had returned from abroad. When he learned that she had once been Mr. Shang’s mistress, the furious Fu Yiheng used her sister as leverage, forcing her to become his prisoner for five years. Humiliation, torment, and a hopeless entanglement continued until Guan Xi slashed her face and wrists with a knife, declaring an end to the game of revenge in the most decisive way possible.

She fled with a body covered in scars to a distant village, thinking she could finally start over. She didn’t know she was already carrying a new bond within her. When her guesthouse became an online sensation and her smile returned, the man who had destroyed everything was watching every update she posted through a screen and quietly setting out to find her.

This is a revenge spanning twenty years, and a love proven through destruction. When the truth finally comes to light, can two people covered in scars rebuild their lives together on the ruins?
