Coercive love + female lead is not a virgin, male lead is + imprisonment + a touch of ensemble cast + the heroine starts training her “dog” midway through the story
The first time Zhou Yang saw the man, she thought his phoenix-shaped eyes were beautiful. But the emotions churning beneath them made her wary, and she didn't dare get close.
The second time she saw him, the man used a false identity to help chase away some troublemakers. Zhou Yang was grateful, but also felt that something was off.
The third time they met, she helped him and learned that his name was Chi Xu.
The fourth time, the fifth time...
Their encounters came one after another.
Zhou Yang tried with all her might to sever their bond, but she couldn't withstand the man's relentless advances, driven by possessiveness.
The grand, sprawling manor became her second “home.”
She fought back with all her might and risked everything to escape, but every attempt ended in failure.
In the end, she still fell into his gentle trap, her heart stirred again and again.
Chi Xu thought that after their long tug-of-war, he had finally warmed her heart.
He began carefully planning their wedding, full of anticipation and dreaming of their future.
But on the eve of the wedding, the bride left and the groom was arrested. The vast manor was left with nothing but memories and the sound of the wind.
Zhou Yang: “Chi Xu, if there is another life, I will love you with all my heart.”
Chi Xu: “Whatever you want, I'll give you. Even if it's... my life.”
