[Two female leads + happy ending + coercion (if this bothers you, don’t read)]
Zhang Linqi returns from studying abroad and mistakes a top-tier star for a has-been. “You’ve got a face that could make you famous, but even a has-been shouldn’t act so high and mighty.” Bai Qi remembers Zhang Linqi’s words. More than the unpleasant things she said, Bai Qi likes Zhang Linqi’s face. She’ll make Zhang Linqi obediently become her plaything. That’s the only way to soothe her resentment.
“What’s your favorite thing to ask the person you love?”
Bai Qi looks at Zhang Linqi, who asked the question, and smiles tenderly. “Do you love me?”
Zhang Linqi chuckles. “Why would you need to ask that? If you were loved, how could you ask such a question?”
Bai Qi’s eyes darken. “Maybe I’ve never been loved.”
Do you love me, Zhang Linqi?
