A Young Heart's Secrets

Shang Tingyun was nine the first time he met Yan Qingning.

The young lady was spoiled, willful, arrogant, and domineering. She had every one of the worst traits of a rich kid.

After she repeatedly targeted him with malice, Shang Tingyun's opinion of Yan Qingning grew worse and worse, until he practically hated her.

His greatest wish was to grow up as soon as possible, leave the Yan family, leave Yan Qingning, and never see her again for the rest of his life.

But one day, he watched Yan Qingning throw her arms around another boy, sobbing and whining about how much it hurt, and suddenly found he couldn't stand it.

He didn't understand. He couldn't make sense of it.

They were both boys, so why was one treated like an angel and the other like dirt?

He refused to accept it!

Bathed in this mix of hatred, resentment, and inexplicable outrage, Shang Tingyun slowly became twisted.

-

Yan Qingning had always thought she and Shang Tingyun were sworn enemies. She couldn't stand him, and he ignored her.

Even after they grew older and their relationship improved, they were practically like brother and sister.

She couldn't understand how, in the end, he had become someone who couldn't live without her.

He guarded her from other men like a mother hen protecting her chicks. Whenever Yan Qingning met up with some guy, he would cluck and fuss for days.

Coming next:

"He's a Madman"

Lin Han was toyed with by a scumbag, bullied by her stepsister, and eventually died in an accidental car crash.

Luckily, she got a chance to start over from the beginning. She still started out with a terrible hand, but this time she was going to find herself a winning card.

Back then, Zhou Siyi was still a poor, down-and-out young man, but Lin Han alone knew that one day he would become immensely wealthy, the kind of person everyone in their circle dreamed of currying favor with.

With an ulterior motive, she got close to him, won him over, and helped him pursue his unattainable dream girl, stopping at nothing.

At last, when the Zhou family acknowledged Zhou Siyi as one of their own, he brought her along too.

She did everything she could to secure a place by the tycoon's side, and gained the power to make certain people lose face without daring to say a word.

Her life, free from mistreatment at last, should have been everything she wanted. But whenever she woke in the middle of the night, she always thought of someone, and Lin Han decided she ought to do something about it.

"You want to resign?" Zhou Siyi adjusted his glasses. "Why?"

"There's something more important I want to do. When I succeed, I'll tell you."

Her eyes sparkled, just like they had when she used to prepare surprises for him.

Zhou Siyi pressed his lips together, signed the papers, and let her go.

He wondered why she was making such a big production out of resigning this time. Whatever she was planning, he wouldn't care about it anyway.

Two months later, he received Lin Han's wedding invitation.

Now that was a big surprise.

The person who spent every day circling around him was inexplicably going to marry someone else. What the hell was that about?

So Zhou Siyi gave her a big gift of his own. On the eve of her wedding, he knocked her unconscious and locked her in a dark room.

He gripped her chin. "Be good and tell me, where did he touch you?"
