Synopsis

Business prodigy Gu Shichen is a godlike presence.

He is proper and rigid, always means what he says, and has severe cleanliness issues. Everything he says and does is meticulous.

At thirty, he has somehow lived like an eighty-year-old bureaucrat.

The study at the Gu family home is full of scriptures Gu Shichen has copied by hand.

Everyone in the Gu family knows Gu Shichen dreams of becoming a monk.

The entire business world is waiting to see the day this aloof, abstinent "deity" steps into a temple and renounces the world.

.

Twenty-two-year-old Wen Zixi is carefree and uninhibited, with a restless nature that not even eight horses could rein in.

Everyone thinks she should be a quiet, refined young lady from a distinguished family, but she has insisted on living as a gorgeous, uninhibited little vixen.

Her eyes curve with a clever, mischievous glint. Beneath her beautiful, striking face, she loves to provoke people.

She doesn't think she's especially capable. Her proudest achievement is dragging the old-fashioned Gu Shichen into the bustling world of desire.

.

Rumor has it that Qishi Group's CEO Gu Shichen, a man devoted to Buddha, married a gorgeous "vixen."

The photos in Gu Shichen's drawer conceal the deepest desire in his heart.

He once thought the demon in red silk curtains was so beautiful she could ensnare a man's soul.

Later, he realized that no beauty in the world could compare to Wen Zixi.

Next book: Please, Be Nice to Me

After his parents died in a car accident and he was left with both legs disabled, Shang An spent a year sending all the people who'd wronged him to prison.

His eyes are icy, and he looks at everyone as if they're already dead. Everyone knows that Shang An, the man in the wheelchair, is a madman.

Twenty-year-old Qi Cai is beautiful, slim, and an incredible dancer. She's sweet and smiles easily, the literature department's certified pure-hearted little fairy.

At Z University’s anniversary performance, Qi Cai's dancing is breathtaking, but something terrifying makes her stumble and fall.

In the dressing room backstage, Qi Cai is crying when, in front of everyone, the notorious "madman" Shang An forcibly carries her away.

Everyone gasps, imagining all the clichéd "abduction and domination" scenes from novels.

Shang An, who had been disabled for two years, actually stood up.

But no one sees the little hands of the crying, wailing Qi Cai clasped tightly around the man's neck.

.

The two are seen together again in a lavish private club room.

The onlookers imagine every tacky plot twist, watching as drunk Qi Cai sits on Shang An's lap.

The young woman is bleary-eyed, wearing an unmistakable smile. In a soft, sweet voice, she cautiously tugs at the man's sleeve. "Shang An, I'm easy to please. Could you not like anyone else, and just like me?"

Qi Cai holds back her tears.

But Shang An's eyes turn red.

Bonus scene

After her first argument with Shang An, Qi Cai runs away to a friend's house. She doesn't eat that night and comes down with a fever.

Shang An waits at the door until the middle of the night to coax her into coming home. The man had promised he would only go in to check on her, but after everyone fell asleep, he sneaked the young woman back home in the middle of the night.

Qi Cai wakes up confused, her eyes red and her heartbroken. "Shang An, I don't want to love you anymore."

Shang An panics.

"Cai Cai, I was wrong." He kisses the instep of her foot and gently coaxes her. "You're already married to me. Could you please be a little more tender with me?"

I was only just learning how to walk toward you. How can you not want me anymore?
