Cinderella's Sister: The Chilling World

When she was fifteen, Xia Huan moved in with her mother and stepfather. The stepfather belonged to the prestigious Fu family.

A childhood spent living under other people's roofs had made Xia Huan unusually resilient. She was an unwelcome guest in the Fu household, its most deeply buried nightmare. Like one of Cinderella's stepsisters, she tightly wrapped up her past and advanced one careful step at a time.

"Xia Huan, you're like a thorn in my heart. If I leave it there, it hurts; if I pull it out, I'll die!" Xu Jingheng gripped her by the throat, his tears falling onto the crimson blood.

Then, in the blink of an eye, amid the sea of flames, he told her, "If you want to leave, I'll go with you. If you want to die, I'll go with you, too." She still remembered his eyes when they first met, cold, yet able to see right through her.

The boy named Su Yangyang from her old days was her only clear and untainted memory. When he returned to her side, she realized she was no longer worthy of having him.

Standing on the rooftop of the Fu Group, Xia Huan threw back her head and laughed. The things she had once struggled so hard to pursue had never belonged to her. For ten years, she had spun a dream for herself, only to shatter it with her own hands.

A grand banquet of the wealthy, a tangled tale of love and hate. Neither you nor I can escape greed, selfishness, and desire...
