Gentle, sweet-natured wild beauty x arrogant, overbearing rich young master

When Xiang Xiao and Yan Xi started dating, the whole city was abuzz. Everyone said Yan Xi was so lucky: after chasing Xiang Xiao for two years, she'd actually won him over.

At a bar, a bunch of friends went wild under the pretense of throwing Xiang Xiao a bachelor party.

Someone asked him if he really didn't mind being taken so early.

Xiang Xiao smoked beside the bar. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he gave a mocking smile. "Take me? Ha. She loves me to death."

The next day, when Xiang Xiao sobered up, the woman who supposedly loved him to death was nowhere to be seen. All she had left behind was a note on the pillow: Take care.

Whenever Xiang Xiao remembered the night before, the way Yan Xi had kissed the surgical scar on his chest and murmured passionately when they were lost in the moment, he became furious.

That damn woman had deceived him.

The following spring, Xiang Xiao suddenly learned a secret, one about the heart in his chest.

That night, he had a dream.

In the dream, it was the thirteenth day after the transplant. Xiang Xiao saw a young woman in the garden outside his hospital room.

Her slight figure, dressed all in white, and her unfamiliar yet familiar face were exactly like Yan Xi's.

'Xiang Xiao, do you really think I love you?'

After those decisive words, Xiang Xiao jerked awake.

At daybreak, he immediately flew to the city where Yan Xi was staying, only to find her speaking tenderly to another man.

Xiang Xiao went mad.

He dragged Yan Xi onto the rooftop and ravaged her lips. The man before her laughed in fury.

"Isn't my life what you want? I'll give it back to you."

"Please, come back to me."

-I have a heart, and it belongs to you.

-Whether you love it or destroy it is up to you.

"Sleeping Together" Loud bravado x gloomy and dejected

When Chi Rang first met Shi Xia, her own brother had stolen her money, and she was sitting in a sorry heap in the filthy water of an alley.

The stains on her pale skirt were as unpleasant to look at as her miserable face, caught between crying and holding it in.

Chi Rang tossed his cigarette and called out to the man who was busy counting the money.

"You pull a stunt like this on my turf, don't you have to pay protection money?"

-

At school, Shi Xia is the clever, well-behaved girl adored by her teachers and the top student everyone admires.

Her skirt is always clean and fluttering, and her smile is always bright as sunshine.

But just as she works hard to put on a perfect front in front of everyone, Chi Rang suddenly transfers into her class.

In a corner of the junkyard, Shi Xia pins Chi Rang against the wall and threatens him in a low voice, her face dark. "Don't say you know me, or else..."

"Or else what?" Chi Rang casually lights a cigarette. "You won't come sleep with me anymore?"

He blows pale smoke into Shi Xia's face and smiles with narrowed eyes. "Have I ever told you that you look absolutely irresistible in your school uniform?"

-

Shi Xia was born into a muddy, chaotic world. She struggles to climb out and escape her wretched past, doing everything she can to make her life clean and bright.

But Chi Rang's arrival shatters everything.

He's arrogant, brazen, and utterly reckless. He has the gloom and darkness Shi Xia most wants to escape, yet also the warmth and love she longs for most.

She wants to get away from him, but she can't bear to lose him.

Plenty of people at school are drawn to his dangerously jaded air, but Chi Rang always looks only in her direction, smiling carelessly.

"I have a lover."

"We're perfect for each other."

*We belong to the darkness forever, not the beautiful sunrise.

*Come sleep with me.

The male lead is a jerk; the female lead is flawed.

They save each other.

"Words of Resentment" Cool and composed beauty x unruly and aloof

Before Yan Zhen's father died, he left behind an inheritance that could only be claimed on a specified date, along with adoption papers.

When the lawyer brought Yan Zhen a young deaf-mute man named Yan Zhi, she studied him impassively. He had no blood relation to her, and she couldn't understand why she had to live with this stranger for five years just to claim the inheritance.

Still, for the sake of the inheritance, Yan Zhen stood up and said, "Come home with me."

At first, Yan Zhi was quiet, well-behaved, and so gentle that Yan Zhen felt guilty.

But over time, he grew mysterious and cold, with a violent air that made Yan Zhen afraid.

-

Yan Zhi is a trapped beast in a mire. Once he finds something that can keep him alive, he will never let go, even if it kills him.

At first, that's how he planned to drag Yan Zhen down into hell with him.

Later, he began to find himself unwilling to do so.

He was immersed in a silent darkness, and Yan Zhen's smile was the first beautiful sound he ever heard.

He never spoke, yet she seemed to understand him, giving him so much gentle compassion and generous mercy.

In the dead of night, he wanted to stain Yan Zhen with twilight.

Under the sun, he wanted to return her to purity.

Yan Zhi wavered between light and darkness, until Yan Zhen helped him choose.

-

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

Yan Zhen took the inheritance and planned to leave for good, but Yan Zhi chased her to the airport.

He tied her hands in front of her chest with his tie and whispered gently in her ear, "Zhenzhen, come home with me."

*Resentment begets anger, anger begets grievance, and grievance begets hatred.

*The only resentful lie I've ever told in my life is this: I love you.

The male lead has psychological issues. He's genuinely bad and a real jerk. His deafness and muteness are fake, so don't expect too much from him.

Theme: Stay positive and full of energy.
