Mo Xizi came from humble beginnings. A stroke of luck brought her to the attention of the Night family's CEO, and she struck a deal with him: she would do the job, and he would pay her. But she was drawn into a struggle over the wealthy family's inheritance. She wanted no part of either side, focusing only on securing a way out. When she finally tried to leave, Ye Xiuming refused to let her go.
She enjoyed a better life because of him, but also drew the envy of many. Someone secretly hired an assassin, who came after her. To protect herself, the other side of Mo Xizi, long buried deep within her, awakened, and she killed the assassin. From then on, another version of her kept surfacing, and she was constantly seized by the urge to do evil...
Ye Xiuming realized that the person he loved seemed to have changed. She had once been timid and impulsive, but at heart she was kind. At some point, the way she looked at him had changed, and a trace of menace had appeared in her eyes...
Their positions had never been equal. Ye Xiuming had been born noble, and there was always a hint of arrogance in his speech. When he discovered that Mo Xizi had actually done evil, the two erupted into their most violent argument yet.
Mo Xizi stopped pretending and openly revealed her ambition.
"But you shouldn't do evil either."
Mo Xizi turned to look at him. Her eyes held a viciousness he had never seen before. "You don't understand me. You were born up high, with everyone fawning over you. I'm not like you."
"Heh, you think that because I was born low, I should bow and scrape before you and do everything I can to please people? You're wrong. You're wrong. Pain felt by someone else is not the same as pain felt by yourself. That's exactly why I love myself more. If I can live well, I don't care if everyone in the world dies, and of course that includes you."
"I was the one who shot you."
Ye Xiuming froze. He had never imagined she could be even more vicious than he was, so utterly merciless...
"If you don't behave, I'll lock you up and make you look at me day and night. No one will come to save you, and then all you'll be able to do is look at me. Do you really think your connections would stay loyal to you? No one in this world can resist power. When that time comes, everyone around you will avoid you."
He tried to find even a trace of a normal person's reaction in her eyes, but Mo Xizi merely looked at him in silence, her gaze cold. "If it really comes to that, I'll kill you. Whoever curbs my freedom, whoever drives me into a corner, I'll kill them." As if a thought had occurred to her, she gave a scornful laugh. "Even if my parents were still alive and took your side, I would cut ties with them without hesitation. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me."
Ye Xiuming gazed into her distant eyes. They seemed to hold both unyielding defiance and a playful bloodlust. He knew that, for a moment, she had truly wanted to kill him.
P.S. The female lead is not perfect. She's very, very evil and never lets a grudge go unanswered.
The female lead becomes a scumbag later on, and even considers killing the male lead.
The male lead is not a virgin.
The female lead has a split personality, with a reversal.
Everyone is evil.
A lot of groundwork is laid early on.
In short: a bunch of crazy men and women.
Theme: Living as you please.
