Seventy percent scheming, thirty percent sweet and obedient.
(Campus revenge + one-on-one romance + forbidden-love devotee brought down from the pedestal + the one who disciplines gets disciplined + rekindled romance.)
A top student turned rabid dog of a man, and a poor girl who’s sweet on the surface but ruthless underneath.
Everyone at Zhengde High knows Shen Boyu, the scion at the very top of the social ladder, is notoriously volatile and changes women like clothes.
Countless girls chase after him, but only the pure-looking Xu Wan stays by his side for half a year and earns his affection.
A friend teases him, asking if he really likes her that much.
Shen Boyu rubs his Catholic prayer beads and calmly answers, “Because she’s obedient.”
He treats her like a cat to be tamed, watching her look up at him, obey, and fall to her knees at his feet.
What he doesn’t know is that she was never some delicate flower. She is hell itself, a poison that cuts out people’s hearts and guts.
From the day she entered Zhengde, Xu Wan, whose background is steeped in tragedy, made Shen Boyu her target. She didn’t hesitate to approach him by showing him her most broken and vulnerable side.
The man grips her chin and leans close, flicking ash beside her lashes. “Xu Wan, you’d still be willing, even like this?”
“Willing.”
All so she could use him, get rid of the person she sought revenge on, and pull herself out of the mire.
The day she achieved her goal, she brushed his hand away without hesitation and looked down at him.
“I never loved you. I was only using you...”
But three years later, when they meet again, the man pins her hard against the wall. His bloodshot eyes stare at the face he has loathed through countless days and nights.
“Xu Wan, I told you to run far away. Go to the ends of the earth, just don’t let me catch you. Because if I do, I’ll kill you.”
But then he lowers his head and says, “Xu Wan, I’ll be good. Don’t leave me.”
