[Possessive pursuit and old-school melodrama]
Li Huaixu had been deceived. The graceful young man who had troubled his heart was actually a woman?
He had fallen for her. What a stroke of luck.
She was clever and charming, and everything about her, down to the way she moved, drew him in.
But she was also utterly hateful.
Her eyes had always been fixed on that poor scholar. She had never spared him even the slightest affection.
She was asking for trouble, but he couldn't bring himself to be cruel. No matter how beautiful a little bird is, it cannot fly free of its gilded cage.
He wanted her to stay by his side forever, with eyes for him alone. Not just her body, but her heart should belong to him too.
