Everyone in their circle knew that Zhao Yunan, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, had one weakness: Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was gentle and quiet. Whenever someone bullied her, she would only come crying to Zhao Yunan with red-rimmed eyes. Zhao Yunan protected her throughout her youth.
Her first boyfriend pretended to be a good man to get close to her. In truth, he caused a car crash to kill her parents for the insurance payout, and abused her adopted younger sister. When Su Xiaoxiao uncovered the truth, he nearly killed her to silence her. Zhao Yunan gathered the evidence herself and sent him to prison, where he was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
Her second boyfriend showered her with declarations of love, then sold her to the bed of a powerful man for business interests. That night, Su Xiaoxiao completely broke down. Zhao Yunan said coldly, “He treated you like merchandise. I'll turn him into trash.” In less than a month, the scumbag was bankrupt and the powerful man had fallen from grace.
Her creed was simple: “Whoever lays a hand on someone of mine will die.”
At last, Su Xiaoxiao found the right man, and Zhao Yunan accepted the one who was willing to give his life for her. Everything seemed settled.
But then her mother unearthed an old secret: Su Xiaoxiao's mother had been the woman her father had loved all his life. Her mother was consumed by hatred and forced her to choose: “It's either her or me.”
Torn between her family and her closest friend, Zhao Yunan was left battered and broken.
At her darkest moment, the “pushover” who had always hidden behind her wiped away her tears and stood in front of her for the first time.
“Yunan, you were always the one protecting me. This time, if the sky falls, let me bear it for you.”
She had been soft-hearted for half her life, but for her, she bared her fangs for once.
