Gu Yanzhi was known in the industry as an aloof young heir who kept his distance from women.

One night, he found a delicate young woman in his home.

She said she was his nephew's tutor. She'd been stranded overnight by the rain, and she was unlike any other woman.

It was late, and the rain was pouring. The girl looked so pitiful that Gu Yanzhi just couldn't bring himself to throw her out.

The more time they spent together, the more Gu Yanzhi felt his nephew was out of line, constantly causing trouble and picking on the girl.

She was gentle and soft-spoken, with an unusually good temper. Only occasionally, when she thought no one was watching, would her eyes turn red.

Even he, a man usually so cold, couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Then, one day, he saw her effortlessly knock down several thugs who had come looking for trouble.

Bruised and battered, the thugs begged for mercy: "We'll never do it again, boss!"

Only then did the girl wave them away. "Get lost."

Gu Yanzhi, watching from the shadows: ...

Du Yiqing was the long-lost daughter of the Du family. She returned to them at twenty.

No one knew that before then, she had been with Fu Junze for half a year.

She thought their relationship would be buried once and for all after she returned to the Du family.

But on the night she came back from studying abroad, she ran into Fu Junze at a banquet.

In the deserted back courtyard, Fu Junze pinned her against the wall, his voice cold and low.

"Come back to me. I can let go of the fact that you disappeared without a word four years ago."

Memories of the past flooded her mind. Du Yiqing trembled, but her voice was unyielding.

"I won't be anyone's appendage again."

Fu Junze was the most distinguished young man in Beicheng: possessive, volatile, cold, and heartless.

No one knew that he had once loved a woman deeply.

He had given her his whole heart, but just as he was losing himself in her, she left without a word.

At his birthday banquet four years later, surrounded by beautiful women, he recognized her at a glance.

She wore a red dress, her features breathtaking. She was like a red rose standing apart from the world.

Meeting her slightly frightened gaze, Fu Junze smiled.

"In this life, you can only belong to me. No one else can touch you!"

This time, whether they went to heaven or hell, he would take her with him.

Everyone said Fu Junze was insane. Only later did he realize that Du Yiqing was even more insane than he was.

When she lost her mind, even he couldn't handle her.
