On the way there, her father told her about Xu Xingzhi, the second son of the Xu family. He was refined, accomplished, gentle, and courteous, the sort of person everyone considered a rare find. They first met in the Xu family’s study. The young man stood before a sandalwood-colored bookshelf, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, refined and aloof. He treated her like air. The hand resting on the thick spine of an original-language book was long and elegant, with distinct knuckles. Later, that same hand stroked her cheek and brushed across her lips and teeth. In an empty conference room, he lowered his eyes and leaned close to whisper a threat: “Who were you smiling at just now?” - Xu Xingzhi is a psychopath. Shen Qingyang had cursed him countless times in her heart. Over the four years of college, in places no one knew about, she learned exactly what kind of scoundrel hid beneath the young man’s model-student exterior. Later, they went their separate ways. After years of drifting through life, they met again five years later. Xu Xingzhi had returned to the country as a rising star in the tech world, more popular than ever. Just as in his youth, everyone sang his praises. At a family dinner, Shen Qingyang followed her elders’ instructions and went upstairs to call him down. The man stood before the mirror in the dressing room, cool and detached, taking a white shirt from the closet. She didn’t go in. Leaning against the doorway, she called for him to come downstairs to eat. “Dinner?” Xu Xingzhi buttoned the last button of his shirt and looked at her in the mirror. “Should we tell them we’re getting married tomorrow?” “Across the shore, no old feelings remain. In Gusu, the bells still ring.” The Edge of the World Female lawyer x tech industry rising star Gentle on the outside, strong within x refined scoundrel - Two-year age gap Each other’s first love | The male lead is extremely possessive *Neither lead has a perfect personality. *They are unrelated by blood, and they are never registered in the same household.
