A spoiled, tsundere young lady x a gloomy, possessive puppy of a boy
"Lift it higher, good baby."
"If you're naughty, baby, you deserve to be punished, don't you?"
Song Jiao had always known that her childhood friend and puppy, Gu Zhi, would never resist her.
So she was spoiled and willful, ordering him around and finding all sorts of ways to torment him. To everyone else, she was bullying him.
But no one knew that Gu Zhi saw every order and every prank as a special reward.
When Song Jiao slapped him, he took it as a prize and wanted another.
He lived in the shadows behind her, starved of affection.
As he watched her surrounded by countless friends, his jealousy grew more vicious with every passing day.
He was afraid that one day, his radiant, passionate girl would leave him.
The taut thread finally snapped the day she accepted someone else's love letter.
His gentle mask shattered, and the possessiveness he'd kept hidden for years erupted.
The cold, endless room became her prison. A near-mad obsession churned in his eyes as he held her captive at his side.
"Good Jiao, how dare you accept something from someone else?"
"Have you forgotten? You've belonged to me alone for a long time."
"Go on, run. Escape anywhere you want."
"But don't forget: no matter how far you run, I'll drag you back and lock you by my side."
Only then did Su Wan finally wake up to the truth.
Her childhood friend, always so gentle and obedient, always at her beck and call, had long since claimed her for himself with the twisted, burning possessiveness hidden beneath his compliant facade. There was nowhere for her to run.
