[Delicate white flower whom anyone would pity, but secretly a black-hearted beauty x A powerful, tragic man who endures humiliation]
Before she met Ji Heng, Qiao Xi was a rat living in the gutter.
After meeting Ji Heng, she wore the latest dresses from fashionable brands, studied at the best school in the provincial capital, and went abroad for summer and winter camps during school breaks.
So when Ji Heng wanted her to be innocent and naive, she pretended to be a sweet, sheltered girl. When he wanted her to study hard, she worked herself to the bone. When he treated her like a little sister, she hid the feelings she shouldn’t have had. When he didn’t want to see her, she kept her distance...
But then Ji Heng died.
He was dead, and Qiao Xi had to avenge him.
-
Ji Heng’s life as a prodigy ended when he was twelve. From then on, he lived only for revenge.
His one unexpected detour was rescuing a girl named Qiao Xi.
She was innocent, kind, pure, and sweet.
She was a pure white flower blooming in filthy mud, and the only hope and comfort in Ji Heng’s godforsaken life.
He wanted her to live a healthy, comfortable, ordinary, and peaceful life, like those girls cherished and spoiled by their parents.
He was willing to pay any price for it, even his life.
-
Eight years after he faked his death and left, they met again under new identities.
Ji Heng did everything he could to protect her, but the sweet, fragile little sister he remembered held a scalpel to his throat and warned him in a chilling voice:
“Hand it over.”
“Or every last one of you will be buried with my late husband.”
“...”
#Tell me, don’t I look just like your late husband?#
#You little brat, when did your big brother become your late husband?#
#What do you do when your kid grows up all wrong?#
