Unhinged younger devoted lover × mature female boss + obsessive love that grows over time + age gap + self-made CEO
When Peng Jiayuan was five, his mother abandoned him at Lin Xiaoxiao's wedding. “She's our enemy. Cling to her and ruin her.”
Peng Jiayuan wrapped his arms around Lin Xiaoxiao's leg and called her “Mom.”
Wearing her wedding dress, Lin Xiaoxiao crouched down, wiped the tears from his face, and took him to his maternal grandmother's funeral.
At twelve, Peng Jiayuan began taking revenge on Lin Xiaoxiao with increasing frequency. She was the enemy his mother had told him about, so he slashed her tires, left dead rats, and threw rotten water at her...
At fifteen, Peng Jiayuan's father died. Lin Xiaoxiao gave him money to cover the funeral expenses. “You're a man now. Live well, and call me if anything happens.”
At eighteen, Peng Jiayuan kidnapped Lin Xiaoxiao. She lay trembling on his rickety bed as he grabbed her by the shoulders and said, “You ruined my mom's life. You're going to pay for it.”
Next door, his mother argued with her lover. “If you hadn't accidentally taken that money from them, you wouldn't have gone to prison, and I wouldn't have spent all these years dragging someone else down with me...”
At nineteen, he said, “What are you going to marry her with?”
“Wait for me to come back.”
Three years later, the twenty-one-year-old Peng Jiayuan returned and stood before her. “Sis, I've come to collect my debt.”
Your tears, your smiles, and the rest of your life belong to me.
You can't get away now.
