[Everyone in the capital thinks the sickly beauty Hua Wanwan is a timid little bunny. Only Xie Yanli knows that this woman is a hunter through and through.]
She's trapped in a strange, recurring nightmare, doomed to die a gruesome death.
To stay alive, she sets her sights on the most arrogant and untamable young master in the capital's elite circle, Xie Yanli.
Most absurd of all, she tucks a photo of Xie Yanli under her pillow as a “talisman to ward off evil.”
As long as she sleeps with his face beneath her pillow, the bloody nightmare fades away, and she can finally rest in peace.
At their first meeting, Xie Yanli pins her against a wall, his eyes full of menace and mockery. “Hua Wanwan, don't try to cling to me with that sickly, poor-me act. You're throwing yourself at me just to get out of our engagement. I can see right through you.”
Then, on a stormy night, Hua Wanwan finally gets what she needs. She casually tosses the crumpled photo of the male lead into the trash and turns to leave.
The once untouchable man completely loses his mind.
In the rain, he pins her into a corner, stripped of every last shred of pride, his eyes bloodshot and his voice utterly desperate.
“Wanwan, don't throw that photo away...”
“If you'll come back, I'll do more than ward off evil. I'll even give you my life.”
“Please, let me stay close to you again, okay?”
Bonus scene
Xie Yanli: “A photo wards off evil? What good is a cheap print like that? If you need a talisman, I'll stay with you myself. I'm a hundred times more effective than a photo.”
Hua Wanwan, thinking: “Heh. The fish finally jumped into the pot all by himself.”
