[Sickly Beauty × Unhinged School Bully; Gentle Older Woman × Obsessive Younger Man]
Wen Xi comes from a wealthy family, but she was born frail and has been dependent on medicine for years. A few steps leave her breathless, and even a cough is enough to make her whole family panic.
With her parents overseas managing their business, she is sent to live with her grandmother in a small town and recuperate. After taking two years off school, she transfers to an ordinary local high school and becomes Zhou Zhi’s classmate.
-
Her skin is fair as snow, her features gentle, and her delicate, fragile air makes her seem completely out of place in the rough, noisy town.
-
Zhou Zhi is the unhinged school bully feared throughout campus.
His father is in prison for murder, and his mother remarried and disappeared. He grew up in the mire, dark and obsessive, with a vicious streak. He believes in neither heaven nor fate, and certainly not in Buddhist or moral teachings. He lives wildly and without restraint.
No one dares to get close to him, until Wen Xi appears.
When Zhou Zhi sees the girl’s pale, slender wrists and the way she gently furrows her brow, his cold, hardened heart is thrown into turmoil for the first time.
Others warn her, “Stay away from Zhou Zhi. He’s a lunatic.”
But Zhou Zhi corners Wen Xi in the stairwell, his voice hoarse and obsessive:
“Big sister, don’t be afraid of me. You can only be mine.”
Later, Wen Xi’s condition takes a turn for the worse. She goes abroad for treatment, and they lose contact.
Zhou Zhi grows up overnight. Starting from nothing, he carves out a path through blood and builds his own business empire. Powerful and influential, he is someone no one dares to cross.
-
The man who once showed no reverence for gods or respect for convention begins visiting ancient temples and Buddhist halls again and again.
He doesn’t believe in Buddha, yet he kneels for her on the prayer mat, kowtowing over and over. Even when his forehead bleeds, he refuses to stop.
In Wen Xi’s name, he does every good deed he can, asking only for her
