Passionate Flames, Gentle Rain

(A guide before reading: old-school romance + the powerful man lowering his head + reunion after a long separation + both pure + groveling chase + the heroine is a veterinarian, and the hero is the heir to a top-tier wealthy family, but she never relies on him. They parted because of a misunderstanding.)

Lin Feifei used to be an ordinary-looking mute.

Everyone mocked her, saying that being an ugly duckling was bad enough, but she was an ugly duckling who couldn't speak, too.

Yet this very girl had a high-profile three-year romance at H University with Zhuo Yan, the heir to a top-tier wealthy family.

She became the object of envy, jealousy, and resentment among the girls on campus, as well as the one and only darling of the wealthy heir.

But on graduation day, Lin Feifei overheard something that made her heart turn to ashes. She decisively left Zhuo Yan.

Five years later, when they met again, Lin Feifei had transformed into a cool, beautiful woman, and she could speak.

At first, Lin Feifei recognized Zhuo Yan, but he didn't recognize her.

To avoid having anything more to do with Zhuo Yan, Lin Feifei kept her distance, wishing they could be parted forever.

But Zhuo Yan began to see more and more of his first love in Lin Feifei.

So he kept forcing his way into her world, again and again.

He grew more and more obsessed with her, lost in her, and undone by her...

But all Lin Feifei wanted was to cut ties with him. In the end, she had to say the cruelest thing she could: “Zhuo Yan, I wish you were dead. Then you wouldn't keep bothering me.”

In a grand, lavish castle, Zhuo Yan kissed Lin Feifei like a madman.

“Feifei, I'll give you everything I have. Please don't leave me, all right?”
