When Chi Luoyi was 16, her grandfather passed away and entrusted her to Sheng Shihan, the grandson of his old comrade-in-arms. The two were engaged.

Back then, the boy was dragged to the engagement by his bodyguards and shoved into the room in a sorry state. The first thing he said when he saw her was:

"I can marry you and take care of you, but please don't expect too much from me, because I won't fall in love with you."

He was an aloof young master, born the heir apparent.

From school to the business world, he was always the center of attention. He hated having others dictate his life.

"Okay." From then on, Chi Luoyi avoided him like the plague and never crossed the line.

She never imagined that,

On the day the college entrance exams ended, he would pin her against the door and kiss her, his voice and body so hot they made her tremble.

"Have you kissed anyone before? I'll teach you."

"...You're... crazy." Sheng Shihan was probably a total sleazeball.

But after that, their nights grew wild.

He said it himself: "Let's try dating."

Only then did Chi Luoyi dare admit she had fallen for Sheng Shihan long ago.

But in the end, he let her down.

So she ran far away and gave him up. Not only that, she fell for another man.

He went mad.

*

Years later, Sheng Shihan returned to the country.

He still commanded the business world and held wealth and power, remaining the aloof, arrogant young master in everyone else's eyes.

But to Chi Luoyi, he was a beast in fine clothes,

And the more he shed his human facade, the more unhinged his behavior became.

On another night of falling, lights and shadows intertwined above the sea. One ripple faded as another spread, growing, blurring, warming... until they formed wrinkles that would never disappear.

"You might as well kill me...!"

She curled up, unable to take any more.

He clamped his teeth around the flesh of her neck, gently biting and tugging as he relived this stolen moment of tenderness with her.

"Why?"

"You already divorced him, anyway."

*

Sheng Shihan had been arrogant throughout his youth, never afraid of losing anything. But the sight of Chi Luoyi walking away, determined to leave him, all those years ago, became the nightmare he feared reliving most in the dead of night.

If time could turn back, I would love you with all my heart while you still loved me with all of yours

You must punish me for the rest of my life

A lifetime is too short. The next life, and the one after that... through countless years,

My devotion will never fade.

[Reading Notes]

● Happy ending. Both leads are virgins at first, but the heroine has been with someone else later. Please don't read if that's not for you~

● The writing is melodramatic, with an old-fashioned style and a pseudo-obsessive romance. Everything serves the plot, so please don't read if that's not for you~

● My next book is "Lyrical Rain": an ENTP innkeeper x an arrogant, abstinent tech tycoon, a healing journey. Add it to your favorites if you're interested~
