Madly in Love, Against All Odds

A spoiled, playboy heir from Beijing's elite circle x a fallen heiress who's sweet on the outside and dark underneath

Sweet romance / Happy ending / First love for both / Three-year age gap / Playboy reforms

The first time they meet is in an alley at the end of Fallen Street, where she catches him in a flirtatious encounter.

In the dim night, a girl leaning against his chest is blushing, while his expression is lazy and indifferent.

He suddenly lifts his eyes and glances toward the corner. Ash falls from his cigarette as he asks with an almost-smile, "Had your fill?"

Jiang Mian has the face of someone's first love. She looks gentle and sweet, but is actually colder than anyone. Knowing they're from different worlds, she takes the long way around to avoid him several times.

Until the day he corners her against a wall. The little girl's lashes flutter, and the slightest squeeze of her slender wrist leaves a red mark.

The young man curls his lip and sneers, "Are you really that afraid of me?"

Jiang Mian gently shakes her head, then slips a small hand from her sleeve and hooks her little finger around his. Her voice is unbelievably soft. "Xu Lin, would you like to date me...?"

Later, at a party, Young Master Xu gets a phone call. The girl on the other end hiccups as she cries, and though she sounds drunk, her harsh words come out like a flirtatious pout:

"Xu Lin, if you've got the guts, don't come back."

His rowdy friends all laugh. They're used to seeing him flirt with all kinds of girls, but this is the first time they've seen a rare look of panic cross his face as he turns and leaves.

In a shadowy corner where no one can see, the man bends down and gently coaxes her. "Don't cry, you little tyrant."

Later, Jiang Mian asks to break up.

Xu Lin looks at her cool, resolute face. His fingertip is burning red from the cigarette, but he doesn't notice. His voice is hoarse and rough as he says, "Jiang Mian, if I ever fall in love with you again, I'll be a dog."

She was the one who made the first move, and she was the one who left without a word.

They meet again at the high school's centennial celebration, where Jiang Mian gives a speech as an outstanding teacher representative.

Her modern Chinese-style qipao draws everyone's attention. Her face is porcelain-white and clear, and her figure is slender and graceful.

Among the distinguished guests, Xu Lin wears a sharp suit. His lips are thin, his nose straight, and his dark, deep-set eyes seem to hide a fire.

When the event ends, he corners her in a shadowy spot on campus.

He kneels on one knee and humbles himself to put her shoe on. Resting his forehead against her skirt, he looks at her with reddened eyes. "Mianmian, would you love me one more time?"

#I set aside all my pride and arrogance to bow my head to you alone.

Coming soon: [Wildfire Never Sleeps]

1. When Qin Wu was sixteen, her mother sent her to a small town in the south without giving her a say.

The girl is delicate and beautiful, so lovely that people can't look away. Even her little leather shoes are decorated with lustrous pearls. She steps out of a black car, completely out of place on the plain old street.

The first time she meets Pei Rang, he is leaning lazily against his motorcycle. He deliberately gets her white cotton socks, trimmed with lace, dirty.

Yet this little princess from Beicheng is incredibly good-tempered.

The next day, she carries a bowl of steaming taro dumplings to Pei Rang's door. Her almond eyes shine, and her voice is sweeter than a red-bean rice cake. "Big Brother, my grandma made taro dumplings and asked me to bring you some."

Pei Rang gives a soft scoff and says arrogantly, "Just leave them there."

That night, Pei Rang spends half the night with an upset stomach.

So the rice cakes were filled with sesame after all. This little thing was sweet on the outside and dark underneath.

He licks his lips and gives a cold smile. This feud is officially on.

2. Pei Rang of Lichuan Middle School is unruly and defiant, a notorious troublemaker feared throughout Gusu Town.

At first, he wants nothing to do with the little princess who just transferred from Beicheng. He snaps at her coldly at every opportunity: "Stay away from me."

Then one night, his rowdy friends head out to have fun and spot a familiar figure at the end of the street. They all stop in their tracks.

Their leader is walking ahead, with a girl much shorter than him following behind. Afraid of the dark, she tugs on the hem of his clothes and says softly, "Rangrang, slow down. I can't keep up."

R-Rangrang?

His friends' scalps tingle with fear. With their boss's awful temper, he's sure to beat her up in a rage.

But they see the tall, unruly boy obediently slow down, then bend over to tie the little girl's shoelace.

"..."

What the hell, is the world going crazy?

3. The day Qin Wu leaves the town, she doesn't get to see Pei Rang one last time.

She doesn't know that that night, Pei Rang stands dejectedly outside her house, smoking with red-rimmed eyes. He stands silently in the rain all night, looking more broken than anyone has ever seen him.
