When Yao Chen was seventeen, it felt as though the whole world had abandoned her.
As a fake heiress sent back to her birth family, all the karmic payback for her past arrogance came crashing down at once. In an instant, she became an ant anyone could step on.
She was banished to the chauffeur's home, where she became a lowly servant, summoned at a whim.
On the day she moved into the cramped apartment building, Yao Chen suddenly lost the ability to speak.
Her mutism was a psychosomatic response brought on by psychological factors. She couldn't talk to anyone, and could only mutter to herself when she was alone.
Fragile and venomous, she said, "Everything about my life now disgusts me. I'd rather die."
The next day, there was a noose in her room.
The person who left it had such messy, ugly handwriting that Yao Chen had to stare at it for a long time before she could make out the words:
If you're going to hang yourself, do it somewhere else. Don't die in my house :)
Yao Chen stared at the note for three seconds, then tore it to shreds.
She decided to kill the chauffeur's spoiled younger son first.
Stubborn girl vs. mad dog
A reunion after a long separation
The protagonist isn't a good person in the traditional sense. Both leads are flawed, and neither has been with anyone else.
