[Rebellious, unruly girl vs. volatile, sickly young master]
Shi Song first saw Liang Qian'an when she was eighteen.
His frail figure was framed by the lamplight, the tip of his cigarette glowing red. He smoked heavily, and the occasional cough that escaped him was deep.
Shi Song walked past him without a hint of expression.
At the time, she was an orphan living under someone else's roof, and her marriage to his older brother had been arranged since childhood.
At the same time, Liang Qian'an raised his eyes and leisurely sized her up.
Her pleated skirt reached her knees, her skin was very fair, and with her eyes lowered, she looked very obedient.
He gave a derisive snort. "Oh, my big brother's child bride."
She heard him. Her skirt flared as she turned, and her smile was sweet and innocent, but her words were anything but polite.
"Oh, the Liang family's doomed young master."

Later, they met again on a rainy night at four in the morning.
Liang Qian'an sat leaning against the railing, a cigarette between his teeth. The rain came down in sheets, and his expression didn't change beneath the play of light and shadow.
He raised his chin toward the girl before him, his air arrogant and imperious.
"You want me to be the other man?"
He crushed the cigarette beneath his foot. An unreadable smile crossed his lips, his face especially sinister in the misty rain.
"Perfect."

After an accidental encounter, Shi Song and Liang Qian'an began a secret relationship they couldn't speak of.
They dropped their disguises in private, then went about their different roles by day, each knowing exactly what the other was doing.
Shi Song used him to escape the troubles the Liang family caused her, intending to continue her studies in another province.
Who knew that when they met again, Liang Qian'an would be waiting leisurely outside her school?
By then, Liang Qian'an was no longer the doomed second son of the Liang family. He had become its sole heir. In his sharply tailored suit, he looked all the more refined and distinguished, though the viciousness in his bones remained.
Shi Song rested her arms and watched him in silence.
After a while, she raised her head.
"What are you going to do?"
Liang Qian'an looked down at her with a low laugh. For that brief instant, his gaze was tender, and his affection seemed genuine.
He opened his arms to her. "I'm here to take you home."
