[Sharp-tongued, calculating Scorpio man vs. tough, stubborn Scorpio woman]
[The powerful never bow, and the powerless never yield]
[Coercive pursuit + irresistible attraction + child out of wedlock + female growth + the pain of a toxic family]
One manipulates his way into taking her, then shamelessly provokes her; the other wants nothing but to escape, refusing to fight or compete.
She is always his backup choice after he weighs the pros and cons. She has no interest in his wealth or status. All she wants is an ordinary life.
One drunken, unintended offense is all it takes to break through his self-control. As they push and pull against each other, they unknowingly head toward a shared abyss.
To escape her devilish family as quickly as possible, Jiang Wan has no choice but to work two jobs a day.
When she first meets Gu Siyan, he holds an umbrella over her in the rain. She thinks he is a ray of light in her abyss.
She soon learns she has only gone from one abyss to another kind of mire.
Their first night together shatters every illusion Jiang Wan had about him.
Afterward, all she wants is to make money, but she stumbles into a world of wealthy-family feuds.
They use the little-known “skeletons in her closet” to threaten and exploit her at every turn.
“Your existence is both his weakness and his disgrace.”
Those words make Jiang Wan see the truth. Once she awakens, she flees overnight.
She starts a new life in a city far away from him.
After being reborn, they meet again.
A new chapter of their story begins...
There is a faint feeling of death throughout the whole process, and it becomes more and more sad towards the end. It is recommended to read it before going to bed, as it will make it easier to fall asleep after reading it. It has been reviewed many times. If you like it, please follow it. When it is finished, I will probably only be able to watch the abridged version.
