[Amnesiac, Cold-Faced Puppy x Stubborn Little Fox + Everyday Life + Slow-Burn Romance + Both Leads Have No Prior Relationships]
The day Shu Yuan lost her job and got dumped, she deleted all her ex-boyfriend's contact information and dragged her luggage back to her hometown in a remote mountain village.
Who knew that the moment she entered the village, a scowling man would douse her from head to toe with a basin of dirty bathwater.
Later, she discovered that the man had been found in the mountains by Grandpa Li. He had amnesia, no identity, and nothing but a handsome face to his name.
And that face was so gorgeous it made her want to commit a crime.
The villagers said he'd raped the simple-minded Ji Chun and wanted to force him to marry her. Shu Yuan hadn't planned to get involved, but when she saw him crouching alone by the yard, like a little dog abandoned by the whole world, her heart softened.
The man looked up at her. For the first time, there was a light in his dark eyes.
She went to the man's house alone to look for evidence and catch the suspect. Later, he got jealous, and she said, "I'll just watch from a distance while you all bathe."
His face stayed dark the whole way.
He said, "I don't like you doing that."
She asked, "Doing what?"
"Wanting to watch other men bathe."
Only then did Shu Yuan realize he wasn't scolding her. He was jealous.
Shu Yuan helped him investigate the case, stood up to people for him, and exposed everyone who had framed him.
His gaze went from cold, to burning, to... wanting to devour her whole.
Later, he cornered her against a wall and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you help me back then?"
She rose on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Because I wanted to sleep with you."
His pupils shook, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the next second he hoisted her over his shoulder. "...You said it."
