She set a trap for him.
He had known all along.
But he would never let her know that she was the one being hunted.

The first time Ji Youfeng saw Ye Xi, she stopped his car in the rain. Her slender figure trembled in the cold downpour, yet her eyes burned with an unquenchable defiance.
The second time, in a dim stairwell, she leaned against the steps, a cigarette glowing between her fingers, a world-weary air veiling her features.
She had a face that was pure and delicately beautiful, but her personality held unexpected twists.
He used himself as bait to set the trap, patiently waiting for her to fall into it.
Until the day he watched his friend lead her into a private room and introduce her with a smile: "Unless something unexpected happens, she'll be my girlfriend."
He thought she would come straight to him, but he never expected her to enter the trap through someone else.
Later, at Ji Youfeng's birthday party, with everyone watching, he pulled Ye Xi away from his friend and into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her. "Ye Xi, you might as well use me directly."
Ye Xi looked at him expressionlessly and replied, "Sure."
That was exactly what she'd been waiting for him to say.

1. Both leads are each other's first and only love, but their relationship doesn't follow the usual path.
2. Both leads have flaws and are far from perfect. Their relationship is full of tension and push and pull, with both of them playing games against each other.
3. There are plenty of chapters in reserve, and updates are steady and daily. The story is a slow burn and may not suit readers who like a fast pace throughout. The male lead's point of view appears very rarely. The female lead is emotionally cool, and the plot doesn't rely on intense conflicts to move forward, so patience is required.
