The Pei family had declared bankruptcy. They couldn't even scrape together the rent, and Pei Zhinan's university was far away in another province. She asked everyone she knew, but no one was willing to take her in.

Then a call came through to her father's phone.

At last, Pei Zhinan had somewhere to stay.

Feng Yue was an old business partner of her father's, someone he hadn't contacted in years.

*

The first time she got engaged to her childhood sweetheart, Pei Zhinan went to try on her formal dress and accidentally bumped into Feng Yue.

The nearly six-foot-four man tumbled down the stairs.

His bones were shattered.

"Uncle Feng, I'm sorry. I'll take care of you until you recover."

From that moment on, Feng Yue's condition kept relapsing, unpredictable and hard to understand.

In the morning,

Pei Zhinan saw him get up and walk around with her own eyes. Thinking he was well again, she happily went out to celebrate with her classmates.

When she got home that night, he was limping again.

The day before, the doctor had said he wouldn't have any lasting effects.

Pei Zhinan was finalizing the engagement date with her childhood sweetheart.

Today, the doctor called and said, "Mr. Feng's condition has worsened."

**

Feng Yue had been coveting the Pei family's young lady for a long time. He'd finally managed to bring her into his home, only to hear the terrible news that she was going to get engaged.

He tried everything he could to keep her there.

Just as he finally started to get closer to her, he heard she was going on a date with someone else. Furious, Feng Yue called the doctor.

"My leg injury is going to flare up again tonight."

Doctor: ???

"Mr. Feng, you're in excellent health. You've fully recovered, and it won't flare up again."

Feng Yue: "It'll flare up at exactly eight tonight."

Doctor: "...All right."

No one knows how much he has to hold back to keep from frightening his darling., Qin Yizhuo

Shen Mi, a dazzling new face in the industry who is still a nobody, plays the lead in a web drama. Everything about the production is a complete mess, from the cast and director to the script and setting.

Before filming began, Shen Mi thought: If it weren't for the money, she'd have quit already!

Then the assistant director brought in the drama's technical consultant, Professor Qin Yizhuo from X Research Institute. Glasses, gentle demeanor, white coat. He was exactly her type.

Later, Shen Mi thought: If it weren't for Professor Qin, she'd have quit already!

She used her beauty to get away with murder, launching one advance after another under the pretext of working together on the show. But Professor Qin remained unmoved. Everyone knew how much of a gentleman he was, and Shen Mi was completely smitten.

But no one knew that beneath the white coat lurked a crazed soul.

During filming guidance.

Shen Mi's shoulder slipped out of her clothing, and Professor Qin quietly reminded her.

"Thanks, you're such a good person."

The man in the white coat said nothing. His eyes behind the lenses were fixed on Shen Mi's shoulder, dark and lifeless, while inside his mind screamed:

Mine! She's mine! I want to do whatever it takes to make her mine forever!

His face remained calm as still water.

The morning after a night of heavy drinking.

Shen Mi woke up in the guest room of Professor Qin's home, fully dressed.

"You're the one I trust most, Professor Qin."

Breakfast sat on the table. The man on the sofa was refined and aloof, untouched by the mundane world.

Who would have guessed that half an hour earlier, he'd been kissing every one of the woman's fingers and cheeks with feverish devotion?

Qin Yizhuo: I have to try to act normal so I don't scare that little girl away.

Shen Mi: I want the calm, self-possessed Professor Qin to go crazy for me.
