[Forced Love] [Insecure Male Lead] [Both Have No Past Relationships] [Happy Ending] [Dark Room] [Broken Relationship Mended] [Over-the-Top Drama] [Abduction and Possessiveness]
An insecure, brooding man x a radiant little ray of sunshine
"You want me to be your mistress?" Ming Zhao asks, her eyes red as she looks at him.
"I'm sorry."
Their three-year relationship vanishes like a bubble, bursting at a touch.
They loved and hated each other, and were once intimately close. After three years together, all Ming Zhao has to show for it is a body covered in wounds.
Though they came from completely different worlds, they became entangled.
When they meet again three years later, Ming Zhao has someone new by her side.
Seeing this painful sight, Pei Rui is overwhelmed by the dark side of his nature, and reason deserts him.
He is going to take her back.
Then he'll keep her by his side, never letting her leave again.
Even if all she feels for him is hatred.
Later,
a friend asks him, "Young Master Pei, Jingbei is so prosperous. If you lose Ming Zhao, there'll still be a Jin Zhao, a Hou Zhao, and so on. Why obsess over just one flower?"
The lights of Jingbei sparkle in the night, intoxicating everyone who sees them.
Pei Rui replies calmly, "Jingbei is only prosperous because she is here."
"Without her, it's just an empty city."
