Soft and adorable campus belle × sharp-tongued, loyal powerhouse
In her previous life, a devastating fire left Gu Zhixia betrayed by everyone.
On the day she was supposed to register her marriage, her boyfriend and stepsister conspired to kill her. She died consumed by flames, full of resentment. Her soul drifted above the fire, believing there was no warmth left in the world worth longing for.
Then, by chance, she saw a familiar figure rush into the flames without a second thought and gather her cold body into his arms.
The man’s voice was hoarse. “Zhixia, you fool. I love you so much. How could I ever hurt you?”
Gu Zhixia was stunned!
The heir to the Ye Group, a man with immense power in the capital and no apparent weaknesses, was in love with her?
His usually cold, dignified face was now a tearful mess. “Zhixia, the road to the underworld is so dark. Can I come with you?”
Reborn, Gu Zhixia lives only for him.
She takes the initiative, drawing close and gently pursuing him, determined to make up for all the tenderness she never gave him. But Ye Yuchen has built walls around his heart and doesn’t dare respond.
She advances, he retreats. She flirts, he dodges.
She pursues him passionately; he holds back, restraining himself.
One day, Gu Zhixia can’t take it anymore. She lightly presses a fingertip to the man’s lips. “Ye Yuchen, stop denying it. You’re in love with me.”
He catches her wrist, the corner of his mouth lifting. “Why don’t you kiss me and find out if my lips are really so hard?”
Later, when he finally loses control, he pins her in a corner, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Little troublemaker, keep this up and you’ll never get away from me in this lifetime.”
Gu Zhixia raises an eyebrow. “That’s exactly what I want!”
But just as Gu Zhixia thinks she can spend the rest of her life with him, she discovers that the fire was far darker than she ever imagined...
It's very interesting, I caught up with the latest chapters in no time! The male protagonist is very affectionate, but the female protagonist is a little tolerant and stubborn because of her childhood experiences. I like the setting that the male protagonist is depressed, and I look forward to the female protagonist's cure. There should be a two-way redemption later~
