[Both leads are each other's first and only + possessive, dangerously unhinged romance + four-year age gap + forced love + ruthless pursuit + intense push and pull + she runs, he chases]
A powerful man at the top × a proud, high-born young lady
Shen Xuhuai, who once lived with her family for two years, has been looking at her strangely lately.
One night, after drinking, he can't stop himself from kissing her. Shang Yunjue finally understands that his gaze has always held feelings that are far from brotherly.
But she only sees him as a brother and can't accept any of this, so she moves out of his house in the middle of the night.
Before that, she ignored Shen Xuhuai's warning and opened that room. Her face blanched in an instant as dread and disgust welled up inside her.
Afterward, she rejects his relentless advances time and again.
“Xiao Jue, you're being very naughty.”
So Shen Xuhuai takes away her freedom.
A chase begins, and after overcoming countless obstacles, she finally manages to leave the country.
But this “freedom” has a time limit. During that time, she does her best to ignore Shen Xuhuai's eyes on her from behind and works desperately to grow stronger, hoping to stand up to him once she loses his protection.
When she returns.
“Xiao Jue, come home with me.”
Shang Yunjue suppresses the complicated emotions in her heart, her expression cold and unfeeling. “Shen Xuhuai, long time no see.”
Watching her leave, surrounded by bodyguards, Shen Xuhuai smiles with unrestrained tenderness, satisfaction filling his eyes.
“A fresh start. We can take our time.”
…
“Shen Xuhuai, it's still anyone's game this time!”
