Complicit in Obsession: After Being Bullied, She Finally Took the Bait

[Taking her by force + rekindled love + groveling for her forgiveness + mixed-race male lead + imprisonment + Stockholm-syndrome-style romance]

A refined, mixed-race student council president at an elite American university vs. a beautiful Chinese international student with classic elegance

Su Ling goes to the United States alone to study, hoping only to graduate in peace with her scholarship.

The international student community is small, but the hostility is overwhelming.

Her Asian features, her status as an orphan, even her quiet refusal to fit in become reasons to bully her.

Then, on a rainy night, she is locked, soaking wet, inside an abandoned music room.

The only phone she can use to contact the outside world has just one bar of battery left. But after searching her entire contacts list, she can’t find a single person to ask for help.

In desperation, almost without thinking, she calls the number she saved after using it just once.

Fu Xiang, the student council president, is Chinese-French and the darling of the school.

He pushes open the door against the light, and like a god descending from the heavens, takes off his suit jacket and wraps it around her trembling body.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll get you out of here.”

Su Ling thinks she has been saved.

Only after she is locked away in his estate does she discover... that phone call was a trap he had set in advance.

He had silently approved every incident of bullying on campus as it grew worse and worse.

He lets everyone torment her so he can wait until she is desperate enough to call that number herself.

“Su Ling,” he murmurs with a low laugh, bending over her and gripping her waist. “I gave you a chance to escape... You chose this path yourself.”

He keeps her locked in his arms, day and night.

When she cries, he kisses her even more deeply.

When she runs, he drags her back and patiently punishes her in even more feverish ways.
