Please, Love Me and Don't Leave Me

The Kingdom of Xuyang is a place of towering privilege and rigid class divisions.

Lu Linyu is the only son of a thousand-year-old family and heir to the world's greatest fortune. At six foot three, with a refined, handsome figure and a face of peerless beauty, he seems almost divine wherever he goes. He commands an army and wields power that can cover the heavens. Countless noble young women pursue him wildly. Yet he is aloof and proud, untouched by the mundane world, a moonlit jade branch beyond the reach of anyone at Xuyang Academy.

Wu Yaoshuang is the second daughter of an ordinary wealthy family. She looks unremarkable, gets average grades, and has been placed in the lowest-ranked Class F. Her only “flaw” is that she’s a sucker for a pretty face. Her eyes are always sneaking glances at handsome people. But she’s level-headed and sensible, and has always been content to admire good looks without falling for anyone.

On the first day of freshman year, Lu Linyu happened to see her drooling over the handsome guy in the class next door. He frowned.

From then on, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

She wasn’t pretty or outstanding, and she didn’t worship him. When he approached her, she merely said, “Senior, you really are handsome, but looking is all I’m going to do.”

Those words became Lu Linyu’s lifelong affliction.

He went mad. He begged her to look at him, to smile at him, to want him, use him, love him.

“Wu Yaoshuang, please kiss me. Please sleep with me. Please make me yours.”

The only son of the world’s most powerful financial dynasty knelt before her, as humble as an abandoned dog.

Wu Yaoshuang only tilted her head, her eyes narrowing into a lovely curve. “Lu Linyu, you’re really handsome, but winning my heart won’t be that easy.”

If she wanted to play, he would play along. If she tried to run, he would tear a hole in the sky before letting her leave.
