An Chun first met Yu Xiangnan at her front door. The heavy rain had soaked her through, and for some reason the lights were off inside. She had just rushed into the living room when she unexpectedly bumped into someone.

She couldn't make out who it was in the dark. His chest felt broad and firm. Since only her daddy and she lived there, she tentatively called out, "Daddy?"

The man was very tall. He suddenly stepped forward, forcing her back outside.

"Did An Rongwei arrange for you to come?"

An Chun didn't understand what he meant by "arrange," but An Rongwei was her daddy, so she obediently nodded.

He leaned down as if to kiss her, and An Chun ran away in fright.

Later, when her daddy came home, he told her that the man was a big boss and that he worked for him. He also told her to stay away from that man.

But the man didn't seem as bad as everyone said. He rescued her when she was in danger and comforted her when she had a fever.

That night, beneath the fireworks over Victoria Harbour, she told him, "Big Boss, you're not as bad as people say. I think you're a good person."

Yu Xiangnan looked at her innocent, bewildered face and gave her cheek a pinch. "You don't know how bad I am."

An Chun didn't understand what he meant then. Only later did she realize that, without noticing, she had already fallen into the trap he had set long ago.

He was a terrifying madman, but by then she could no longer escape.

Note: They have a nine-year age gap. The male lead is not pure and has a partner early on. The characters aren't perfect.

The first time Wen Yuyin met Zhong Zuxiao was in Thailand's chaotic red-light district.

The man wore a crisp white suit, cool and aloof. Broad shoulders, a slim waist, Eastern features and Western skin: not a single flaw could be found in his face or figure.

She had a hunch he was a gentleman with a dark side, so she kept her distance. But he gradually drew closer, smiled, and parted his thin lips. "Would you be interested in having dinner with me?"

After they got together, he showered her with affection, but controlled every aspect of her life: what she wore, what she ate, even turning her face to the left when she smiled.

Later, she found a photograph in his study. The woman in the picture wore a white dress and looked exactly like her.

At last, she understood. Zhong Zuxiao had only ever seen her as a substitute.

From then on, she kept her heart to herself, even accepting flowers from another man right in front of him.

He didn't react. She thought their relationship was over, but one night, drunk out of his mind, he dragged her from the set into his car and cornered her. His bulging veins stood out as he gripped her by the throat.

"Wen Yuyin, you still owe me a child. Don't even think about running."
