The Yandere Heiress Devours Me Alive, While Her Sweet, Delicate Pretty Boy Begs for Mercy

[Strong Female Lead] [Forced Love] [Older Woman/Younger Man Romance] [Mutual Firsts]

He was the Su family's most shameful secret, a "jinxed star" with feminine features and a delicate, vulnerable nature, sold off like a commodity by his father.

She was the sole heir to the Ling family of the Magic City, a martial arts champion and an extreme beauty enthusiast. At first sight, she claimed him as her own.

He thought it was just a transaction: trade his freedom for tuition, then escape once he had saved enough money.

But she never intended to let him go. Even the old clothes he left behind after their breakup hung in her closet for three whole years.

He ran away three times.

The first time, he fled back to the Su family. His father personally tied him up and sent him back. He was locked in the basement for three days, and after that, a chain was fastened around his ankle.

The second time, he made it to the airport. She sealed off every route, dragged him out of a men's restroom stall, and pressed a blade to his throat. "Run again, and I'll break your legs."

The third time, he finally told her the truth behind their breakup: it wasn't that he didn't love her, but that he was afraid to. Faced with her father's threats and the Su family's survival, he pushed the madwoman he loved away with the words "Let's break up," and bore everything alone.

But he didn't know that her first move after returning to the country wasn't revenge. It was to seize power.

She did it all in front of everyone, just so she could protect him openly and legitimately.

She thought he was merely a timid, cowardly canary.

But when disaster struck and his whole family was threatened, he could walk straight toward his enemy alone, offering himself in exchange for their safety.

One is a fragile little liar, covered in scars yet still tenderhearted.

The other is a woman driven mad by obsession, who loves him without holding anything back.

He spent three years learning how to run away. She spent the rest of her life learning how to make him stay.

It turned out the most moving words in the world weren't "I love you," but the words she whispered when she finally took his hand:

"I won't keep you locked up anymore. Run wherever you like."

"I'll always be able to catch you."
