[Seems calm, but is actually at her wits' end, top-tier star x Won't turn back even after hitting a wall, stubborn to the bone, surgeon]
Qi Lan's first kiss happened on her eighteenth birthday.
In a secluded corner of a luxury cruise ship, she boldly pinned her usually gentle, reserved male classmate against the wall and kissed him by force.
The “victim” only froze for a moment before grabbing her by the waist and turning the tables, biting her lip hard enough to draw blood.
From that day on, Qi Lan knew that Liao Jingzhi was a mad dog who couldn't be driven away by scolding or chased off.
No one can drive away a perfectly loyal dog,
except its owner.
“Prouve-moi que tu m’aimes, comme je m’aime moi-même. Choisis-moi, sans hésiter.”
(Prove that you love me the way I love myself. Choose me, without hesitation, until death do us part.)
There is another person living inside Qi Lan, watching everything she does from behind a mirror.
He loves her so much, with such greedy, unyielding devotion, that he loves her more than anything in the world. That's why he hates the man who can stand in the sunlight and hold her in his arms.
“He can look at you with his own eyes... Isn't that enough reason for me to resent him?”
Jiang Tao is a mad dog, guarding the darkness deep inside an uninhabited cave, stubbornly killing every savior who enters their world.
Liao Jingzhi is like a saint, ignoring the rough road and the piles of bones along the way as he follows the dim, elusive moonlight into the depths of the cave.
“You can take everything from me, my pride, my reason, my dignity... You can leave me with nothing but my love for you.”
