[Campus + urban life + emotional push and pull + romantic rivals + obsessive possessiveness + sweet on the outside, scheming underneath + regretful pursuit]
In everyone’s eyes, Lou Xingyu is sweet and reserved.
But Mu Chenxiao alone knows what a wicked woman she is, wild and fiery to the core.
With her mother gravely ill, Lou Xingyu takes a job to earn the money needed to save her:
pretend to be an innocent, sweet girl and slowly work her way closer to him.
She thinks she’s the hunter, unaware that he saw through everything long ago and has personally laid a trap with no way out.
When she accidentally steps into forbidden territory, his words finally make her see clearly.
“Who do you think you are to make demands of me?”
“Know your place.”
Only then does Lou Xingyu understand that a scheme is just a scheme, with no sincerity behind it. The special treatment and tenderness were nothing more than a response to her resemblance to someone else.
The show is over. She walks away without hesitation.

On the eve of her escape,
Mu Chenxiao holds her tightly from behind, whispering greedily, “If you stay, I won’t care about any of the schemes from before.”
She rejects him coolly. “You told me to remember my place… Please don’t forget yours either.”

When he finally finds her in a foreign country, the man, his face icy, comes toward her and pins her beneath him. His bloodshot eyes brim with love, but his voice is full of threats and possessiveness. “Lou Xingyu, who said you could leave with another man?”
“I told you, I’m the only man you can have by your side, and the only one you ever will!”
Lou Xingyu stares at him in disbelief. “Mu Chenxiao, what we had was a lie. This game should have ended long ago.”
Mu Chenxiao: “Ended? From the moment the game began, I was the one who decided how it would go!”
