A Fallen Bird Nests in a Sea of Thorns

When I was nineteen, my boyfriend said he wanted to experience the thrill of being an adult. I agreed.

The next day, a video of me crying and begging him to stop beneath him spread across the entire school, and he disappeared without a trace.

My father, an exemplary teacher, couldn't take the blow and leaped from a high-rise. My mother was so furious she fell gravely ill.

Many years later, just as I was about to entertain an important guest at a nightclub, I ran into that man again.

I heard him talking with a friend in a private room.

"Xu Jin, that trick you pulled back then was vicious. Qing Zhi was a rich heiress. What hadn't she seen? You had to use such a despicable method to help her steal that recommendation slot, and the poor girl's whole family ended up dead. What a shame..."

"I had no choice. I'd lost a bet back then. That gold-digger? Once you've had your fun and ruined her, so what? What's there to feel sorry about?"

So, from beginning to end, I was nothing but his plaything.
