Rich Young Master Bottom x Poor Top Student Top
Cheng Yi, a wealthy young heir who always looked down on others, hit Bian Huai with his car, then tossed him fifty thousand yuan and a new phone to settle the matter carelessly.
But the old phone held recordings of Bian Huai's late parents. It was destroyed, and could never be restored.
A scar was left permanently on Bian Huai's leg, and hatred took root in his heart.
Bian Huai set out to exact psychological revenge on Cheng Yi and destroy him from within.
The cruelest punishment in the world isn't making someone die. It's making him live while loving you, knowing that all your tenderness is a poisoned arrow.
Bian Huai was gentler and more considerate than anyone else, making Cheng Yi believe that at last, a light had come to him in the depths of despair.
It wasn't until Cheng Yi's birthday that the truth came out:
"Did you really only get close to me for revenge?"
"Yes."
"Did you... ever like me even a little? Even just a little would be enough..." Cheng Yi looked anguished, a pleading look in his eyes.
"...No..." Bian Huai lowered his gaze.
"I'm sorry. I caused the scar on your leg. I... I can make it right..." Cheng Yi picked up the knife beside him, the one meant for cutting the birthday cake, and slashed his own leg. Deep red blood flowed from the gaping wound, like a rose finally in bloom, crimson and grotesque.
"I'm sorry, A Huai... I'll let you go. I'm sorry. You're free. You don't have to stay by my side and play out this ridiculous charade anymore. I'm sorry... I've put you through so much..."
Bian Huai had imagined the thrill of killing his enemy with his own hands. But when that invisible knife finally fell, it was the other man's hot, vital blood that splashed onto him, burning him and leaving him in unbearable pain.
He had won. He had destroyed Cheng Yi. So why did it feel as though he had shattered, too?
Only later did he understand that their veins had long been connected in secret. When one suffered, so did the other.
That car accident wasn't a mere mishap between them. It was the one cruel, right door fate had opened for them both.
They walked through it into each other's lives, and could never leave again. Nor did they want to.
