The second power of taking by force / Making the powerful bow their heads / A high-ranking, influential obsessive × a cool, stubborn little white flower
At the banquet, Su Qiuwan is once again coerced by her stepmother into giving blood.
Staggering toward the exit, she suddenly collides with a shadowy figure.
She looks up. A pair of condescending eyes studies her.
The man is distinguished, noble, and languid, like a black-and-white film.
Su Qiuwan lowers her eyes and apologizes, missing the sudden darkness in his gaze.
She also fails to hear him murmur softly:
"Found you."
*
The man is named Du Yueyin, a powerful tycoon and a nightmare that haunts her.
He lures Su Qiuwan into breaking up with him, then forces her to sign a deal for money.
One night, Su Qiuwan dreams of her childhood and wakes with a start.
In the grip of a panic attack, she trembles, hugging herself tight as she tries to stifle her sobs.
A soft knock comes at the door. The man outside seems to ask her something.
Su Qiuwan doesn't answer. The door is locked from the inside, and besides, he won't come in.
Until a crash shakes the room.
The door is smashed open. In the darkness, she sees those thick, obsessive eyes.
Du Yueyin raises a hand with blood seeping from his knuckles, steps forward, and holds her as he soothes her:
"If you keep crying, I'll have to die all over again with you."
*
She keeps sinking deeper into the vortex of his coercion, until Su Qiuwan decides to break free.
The bridge collapses, and at last she manages to escape.
Standing on the deck and looking back, Su Qiuwan feels a profound sense of relief.
A year later, her mother's condition takes a turn for the better, and she risks returning to her homeland.
But as she steps outside, she meets those phoenix eyes, bloodshot and burning.
His gaze is like a raging beast, ready to swallow her whole.
The car door slams shut. The partition rises, and broken pleas come from the back seat.
Du Yueyin grabs her as she struggles in his arms and forces her to look up.
He kisses her tear-filled eyes, his voice hoarse, every word cutting like a blade:
"Why are you crying? We're not done yet."
