Ye Nian spent three years in prison. After getting out, she’s completely off the rails, with a simple credo: she can’t stand anyone and is always ready to wreck the world. Just as her already messed-up life finally sees the light of day, Pei Xu, a top-tier lunatic, locks her back in a cage.
The more she acts up, the more he likes her. The harder she struggles, the more fascinating he finds her.
Pei Xu thinks she’s just a tree that grew crooked. Tie her up and lock her away, and she’ll eventually learn to behave.
Ye Nian decides to make the best of a bad situation. She negotiates a monthly payment of one hundred thousand and plans to stay for a month or two. Once her time is up, she’ll see the world, eat her way through every delicacy, and make up for all the fun life has denied her.
But before she can put her little plan into action, Pei Xu insists on dragging her off to apologize to Meng Ni.
She refuses, fighting back so fiercely that she loses control and finally pushes Pei Xu too far.
With a cold expression, he shackles her and locks her in a room to punish her for refusing to give in.
Later,
Pei Xu sits in front of her with red-rimmed eyes and reaches out to touch her cheek. Ye Nian suddenly recoils, trembling all over, her eyes full of fear.
“Don’t touch me! You’re going to hit me, aren’t you?”
“Niannian, I won’t.”
“You’re lying! You’re going to hit me! Get away!”
That day, curled up in the corner, she suddenly speaks with a vacant look in her eyes.
“Pei Xu, you should be scared. I’m not normal.”
He gently tries to comfort her, but she suddenly looks behind him, her body trembling uncontrollably.
“There’s someone standing behind you.”
“It’s all an illusion. There’s no one there.”
“He’s smiling at me. He’s coming toward us. He’s coming...”
