Unable to Escape This Passionate Love

[Final exam prep is taking all my time, so updates may stop for a little under a month. So sorry! I’ll definitely post ten thousand words a day when I’m back.]

After more than twenty years of life, Sang Jinning had never thought of herself as a good person. Born into a wealthy family, she loved pretty clothes, luxury handbags, and a life where she never had to lift a finger. She was shallow, selfish, and vain.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dumped the penniless Jiang Qingmin for being poor.

According to the novel, she was probably the kind of cannon-fodder supporting female character who helped the male lead grow. One day, he would achieve success and be surrounded by beautiful women, while she would be disgraced and regret everything.

And that was exactly what happened. When Sang Jinning returned from studying abroad, her family had gone bankrupt. The heiress had no choice but to enter show business to pay off their debts. After nearly half a year of hard work, she had made not a ripple.

She was so obscure she might as well not exist.

Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend had become a top-tier star known across the country.

He looked noble and untroubled, but behind the scenes, he ran a secret Weibo account where he wrote ten-thousand-word erotic fantasies about the two of them getting back together.

Sang Jinning blushed and her heart raced as she read them.

So he does still love me, even though I thought he hated me?

Taking advantage of her ex’s lingering feelings, Sang Jinning shamelessly rode his coattails and manufactured dating rumors.

Matching couple necklaces, an accidental like on Weibo, a similar hotel backdrop: rumors spread like wildfire.

But Jiang Qingmin showed her no mercy and promptly denied everything: “I don’t know her, I’m not familiar with her, and I’m not interested.”

Then he sent her a cold private message: “Stay away from me.”

What a little faker.

Luckily, Jiang Qingmin didn’t hold out for long, and soon gave in.

A few months later, when she figured she’d made enough money, Sang Jinning decided to end their fake pairing and cut ties. Instead, Jiang Qingmin locked her in a dark room.

He gripped her throat and demanded, “How many more times are you going to dump me?”

Sang Jinning looked terrified.

What did he mean, dump him? Weren’t they just pretending to be a couple?

*

Jiang Qingmin had always believed Sang Jinning couldn’t forget him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have tried so hard to seduce him after they met again.

Fine. He’d give her one more chance.

So, on the day she took the initiative and kissed him, he agreed to get back together.

But then she kept things ambiguous with her former fiance and told him they were only pretending to be a couple?

Jiang Qingmin’s dark eyes deepened. It seemed there was more than just their relationship that needed heating up.

Someone, too.

#Didn’t you say you didn’t know her, weren’t familiar with her, and weren’t interested?#

#She’s dumped you twice and you’re still chasing after her#

#Just a little lovers’ game#

*Life is long, the hills are lush and green, and she is the only one who stirs his heart. There’s no escaping this passionate love.

*The female lead is a bad woman, and she won’t be redeemed. The male lead keeps a cold face while doing the laundry and deluding himself into falling for her.

*The bankruptcy is fake. Our girl won’t be poor for a second.
