Flawed Jade x Taking Advantage of an Opening
Sincerity from a terrible person / toxic romance / bitter and sharp
Ye Youyun, once the goddess in everyone's eyes, is out of prison. She was convicted of attempted murder and, lucky for her, only served five years.
A curious onlooker asked, "Goddess, what are you planning to do next?"
Ye Youyun replied, "I've been looking at buildings lately."
To find one to jump from.
Just kidding. Life goes on.
Ye Youyun makes no secret of her time in prison, her shattered ideals, or the fact that she killed someone and doesn't regret it.
What she finds hardest to admit is that someone took her in after she got out.
Her former devoted admirer, Song Lan.
>>
Song Lan took advantage of the situation and married Ye Youyun, once everyone's goddess. Now, everyone laughs at her for being a fool.
A successful returnee, getting involved with a murderer.
Song Lan herself takes it in stride. She knows full well that if Ye Youyun hadn't fallen on hard times, Song Lan would never have stood a chance. Her admirers could have lined up all the way to the North Pole.
But...
Can someone tell her what this woman in a sleeveless undershirt, who can carry a bucket of water with one hand, deliberately blows smoke into her mouth, and maliciously squeezes her throat in bed, has to do with the elegant, accomplished, and distant Ye Youyun she once knew?
Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Turns out the goddess is just like anyone else.
Leaning against the headboard, she half closes her eyes and says haughtily, "Ye Youyun, peel me an apple."
The taste of rust spreads through her mouth with the apple. Song Lan thinks idly that when she's had enough, she'll end it.
The room is filled with the smell of hydrogen peroxide.
Ye Youyun calmly presses a cotton swab against her wound, her brows drawing down.
"Don't think you'll get rid of me that easily."
