1:
The moment Ruan Simin saw Chen Qing, she set out to win him over.
Just as expected, he was inexperienced, obedient, considerate, never clingy, and quiet.
Three months later, Ruan Simin gave Chen Qing away as a present.
On the day Chen Qing became a gift, Ruan Simin was hanging on the arm of a strange man in a suit, chatting and laughing.
He'd heard people say Ruan Simin was heartless, but he hadn't believed them.
This woman wasn't just heartless. She was cruel.

The next time Ruan Simin saw Chen Qing,
he was wearing a bespoke suit, his gaze sharp and indifferent.
"Sister, is there anything you'd like as a gift?" Those were the first words Chen Qing said in her ear when they met again, as gentle as ever.
Ruan Simin smiled and politely declined. "Thank you, but there's nothing I want."
Later, Ruan Simin struggled to breathe in a cramped space. Her beautiful dress fanned out around her like decoration in a gift box.
A black ribbon bow was tied around her wrist.
She looked up and saw only the faintly upturned corner of Chen Qing's lips and his hard jawline.
He was looking down at her, the way one might look at a gift.

Ruan Simin tore off the black ribbon bow and smashed every expensive ornament in Chen Qing's home.
Then she began opening bottles of liquor.
"Who made you angry, Sister?" Chen Qing stood on the stairs with his hands in his pockets, watching Ruan Simin coldly.
Ruan Simin sat on the carpet, the corners of her eyes tinged pink, her gaze pitiful and innocent.
Then Chen Qing heard her call another man's name.
"You can't do this, Sister. I'm Chen Qing. I'm the one you should be thinking about." Chen Qing lifted her into his arms, letting the red wine stains spread across his white shirt. As he lowered his head to whisper in her ear, something inside him broke.
