(Original title: Taming the Colt)
Female Tour Guide X Forest Ranger
Qin Yao is the heartless woman everyone talks about. She has no feelings or empathy, and she will never return to her hometown.
In her eyes, Di Yue Town is just a little county town. Its residents look at her with sorrow, her classmates feel sorry for her, and everyone reminds her of her past and her scars. The pain of that torment, and the well-meaning isolation, always drive people mad and push them to the brink. So, as someone who takes care of herself, she never puts herself in such a position.
By a twist of fate at work, Qin Yao has no choice but to lead a group to Di Yue Town. Her boss says she won't have to go into the town for long, just take a small group up Wu Jie Mountain beside the county seat. Qin Yao thinks it over, then agrees.
But that very compromise, on that very tour she leads, brings Qin Yao face-to-face again with the man who ran away all those years ago.
The man she has searched for for nine years.
Nine years have passed, and everything has blown away on the wind. The only thing that hasn't changed is her love for him.
She knows. He knows, too.
Lin Ju has always been running away, treating Qin Yao like thin air and avoiding her as if she were a snake or scorpion.
He pushes her away, needles her, and mocks her,
but just as she's about to leave, he abandons everything and comes after her.
PS: They are no paragons of virtue.
