Bound Butterfly [GB]

Midsummer, and a picture went viral online.

A beauty reclined on a soft couch, her slender hand swirling a stemmed glass, embodying every bit of feminine allure.

She was a bar owner, and people were always lining up to throw money at her, just for a chance encounter.

His friends fell for her one after another. Young Master Chi scoffed. "She's all hype."

That night, Chi Yan drank himself into a stupor and stumbled into a dim private room. The spicy scent of rosemary hit him.

He heard a woman speak with a smile in her voice. "What are you standing there for? Come over and have a drink with your big sister."

When it comes to falling in love, you have no say in the matter.

Young Master Chi fell hard. He put away his wild, carefree ways and embarked on a one-way road to taming himself.

Word got around that Boss Hua, long single, had fallen in love again, and that a sweet, well-behaved college boy was now at her side.

A bunch of friends drank and wept, swearing they would find the rival who had won her over and beat him up.

Chi Yan hesitated to speak. A familiar scent drifted closer, and a hand with bright red nails caressed his neck.

"Baby, you said you couldn't drink any more last night. Were you lying to me?"

Chi Yan: "..."

One of these days, she'll be the death of me!

He thought he was a dog offering her his loyalty.

He had no idea that, in her eyes, he was a butterfly caught in a spider's web, bound tighter and tighter as the threads wound around him.
