My Boyfriend's Brooding Best Friend Has His Eye on Me!

Mature man and woman / the heroine has a past, the hero doesn't / a contrast-driven, mildly groveling pursuit of his wife / a story about stealing someone's partner

Duan Lisong avoids women. Emotionally numb by nature, he climbed to the top by trampling his own blood relatives. In his eyes, there is only self-interest, never affection.

But then he meets Ke Xun. He doesn't dislike her touch. In fact, he wants her to touch him more.

Later, he discovers she's his friend's fiancée, and they're about to get married. Sitting in the shadows of his Cullinan, he can only watch coldly as she hugs and coos at his best friend.

Then one day, he parks by the side of the road and lights a cigarette, only to glimpse her passionately kissing his friend.

He doesn't even know when he bit the cigarette filter out of shape. His gloomy eyes are full of jealousy and hatred, and he crushes an entire pack of expensive cigarettes in his hand.

"Find a way to get her for me. I want her. Now."

Ke Xun has a stable career, a happy family, and a wonderful boyfriend who loves her. The two are about to get married when her boyfriend suddenly breaks up with her, and Duan Lisong takes advantage of her vulnerability.

Ke Xun is completely smitten with him, thinking true love has finally found her.

She thinks Duan Lisong loves her, only to learn later that he's psychologically twisted and disturbed. He pursued her for amusement, driven by jealousy.

Even the way he loves her is something he learned from someone else.

Ke Xun realizes she gave her heart to the wrong man. She quits her job and prepares to leave the country, breaking up with him.

Duan Lisong lets her go. He still doesn't understand love, but he cries for her, sheds tears for her, and feels pain in his heart.

Only then does he realize that after teaching him how to love, she left him behind.

He goes mad and uses every means at his disposal to find her and bring her back. He'll never let her go again.

In the darkness, he pins Ke Xun against the floor-to-ceiling window at home, biting her shoulder until it hurts. "If you get pregnant, you won't leave me, right? Fine. I'll give you what you want. A Xun, you're so disobedient."

His low words slither like a snake's hiss. "Unless I die, where can you run? Be good. Say you love me, that you'll love only me for the rest of your life. Please..."

At first, he never touched her. Later, all he wanted was to hold her, lost in a drunken dream.

A Little Scene:

Duan Lisong in public: restrained and elegant, refined and gentlemanly, cold and aloof, wielding immense power.

Duan Lisong in private: When will my wife hug me, kiss me, and touch me? I can't wait...

Duan Lisong is the most elegant man Ke Xun has ever met, and also the most dark and twisted psychologically.

He is really, truly, very good at pretending!
