In Hong Kong, Shi Zhan was a laughingstock.

The daughter of a notorious serial killer, she actually dared to set her sights on Wen Jinshen, the most eligible bachelor in Hong Kong's elite circles.

She said, "No matter what, I have to give it a try."

Shi Zhan did everything she could, but it still couldn't compare to the sneer he gave her in public, his peach-blossom eyes narrowed: "I think someone as reprehensible as you should feed your brain something once in a while."

Looking at the aloof, detached man, she declared with unwavering certainty, "One day, I'll write the words 'I love you' backwards."

Back then, Wen Jinshen was so high above everyone else...

He didn't even look up as he splashed a glass of wine in her face. "Get a grip."

People in later years said that Mr. Wen had enjoyed a brilliant life and widespread renown, but his greatest mistake was marrying a murderer's daughter.

"Zhanzhan, it's my birthday today. Will you come home for dinner?"

"No."

Shi Zhan ate with every other man, but never with her own husband.

No one dared dwell on the fact that, at the beginning of the story, she had nearly lost her life chasing after him.

Even when a romantic rival came to challenge her, Shi Zhan merely smiled. "He's just a man. If you want him, I'll hand him over with both hands. Take good care of him."

*She pursues him at first; later, he has to win her back.

*A refined scoundrel, the head of a psychiatric hospital x a bold, dazzling, and thoroughly unhinged infamous author
