[Sweet and pitiful on the surface, actually a crazed obsessive × Seems spoiled, but is actually softhearted and slow on the uptake]
[The ultimate green-tea male lead: he pretends to be weak and plays the victim, carefully plotting every step just to snatch his fiancee from a scumbag, and conveniently grind the entire Huo family into the dirt along the way.]
Jiang You Ning was stood up by Huo Wenzhou, mocked by his friends with, "Leave her hanging for a while and she'll behave," and even urged by her green-tea best friend to "be a little more understanding."
She crouched outside the restaurant for three hours, only to hear Huo Wenzhou clinking glasses with someone at a club: "She can't live without me."
Huo Shen, the illegitimate son of the Huo family who was kept hidden from the world, braved the pouring rain to take her home. Blood ran down his temple as he murmured, "I'm dirty. Don't get your dress dirty."
She felt sorry for him, put a bandage on him, draped her coat over him, and treated him like the most harmless big brother.
Until she discovered that the "weak man" Huo Wenzhou had beaten up in a staged accident could turn around and halt construction on Huo family properties, bankrupt the Lin family, and make everyone who had bullied her vanish from the capital overnight.
After she fell asleep, he would press the hair tie she had left behind to his lips, facing a wall covered in photos of her from childhood onward, and whisper, "Good night, Youyou."
She thought she'd taken in a poor little puppy, but it turned out to be a mad wolf in sheep's clothing. By the time she realized it, Huo Shen had already cornered her in the study.
"Youyou, you were the one who pitied me first. It's too late to run now."
