[Yiping, I’m Not a Good Person]

When she advances, he retreats. When she retreats, he goes mad.

She seems like a sweet, peachy glutinous rice ball, but in truth she’s a schemer with flexible moral standards.

The male lead knows full well that the female lead is selfish and only using him, yet he still falls madly in love with her.

“You lured me onto this improper path, and now you’re bored?”

“Lu Yiping, even when you toy with people’s hearts, you never see things through.”
