Nocturnal Animals and a Daytime Scholar

[Unpredictable, morally gray fallen young master VS outwardly warm, inwardly cold two-faced woman, doctor by day and dancer by night]

1.

They met one New Year's Eve, and their ill-fated relationship began.

Lin Zhiyan tore the evening gown that outlined her graceful figure, then straddled the waist of the unconscious man, seductive as a fairy of the night.

Fireworks blazed across the sky, and the atmosphere was intensely charged.

Her loose hair brushed his cheek as she leaned in...

And slapped him as hard as she could!

While he was still lost in unconsciousness, she used her "superb medical skills" to tie him to the bed so he couldn't move, then sauntered off.

She removed her heavy makeup, took off her wig, changed into a tracksuit, and put on her nerdy glasses...

No one would ever guess that she was the dazzling "courtesan" who had everyone eating out of her hand.

A good-natured tomboy, an academically gifted student, a white-coated angel who healed the sick: those were the names she was usually known by.

At noon the next day, he woke up. His face hurt, and his head hurt even more.

The angrier he got, the more excited he became.

He gave a mocking chuckle. His naturally upturned eyes lifted even higher as hormones surged through him. "Now that's interesting."

His only free hands curled into fists. His voice was rough with a hangover, yet strangely magnetic. "I'll make you understand..."

"You've picked the wrong person to mess with."

2.

Wu Nanfei, the mad young master of the Wu family, was not to be trifled with.

He went crazy now and then, which meant he did so pretty often.

When he learned Lin Zhiyan had a "moonlight" in her heart, he tore off her mask in front of everyone.

As if he had caught an unruly prey, he seemed ready to devour her in an instant, kissing her deeply until she could barely breathe.

She gasped and taunted him. "Young Master Wu, is that all you've got?"

The next moment, pain struck.

When their lips parted again, blood stained the corner of her mouth.

He was ruthless. He'd bitten off a small piece of her flesh.

His eyes gleamed with cunning. "Lin Zhiyan, I want to be your dark moonlight. If I can't make your heart flutter when you think of me..."

His low, hoarse words brushed her ear. "Then I'll make your heart pound with fear whenever you remember me."

3.

They met again in the neurosurgery ward of a hospital.

The once arrogant, carefree man now lay sprawled on the bed like a broken doll with its soul ripped out, as if someone had snapped his spine.

She cared for him, stayed by his side through rehabilitation, and helped him recover.

He knew he couldn't compete with the moonlight in her heart, but he still got jealous, grew envious, and lost his mind...

Then he fell for her, fully aware of it.

In the end, Young Master Wu accepted defeat.

They say wise men don't fall in love, much less step into the same river twice, so...

He chose to lie down in that river instead.

Even if it meant drowning.

[Being in love with you is the most low-key thing I've ever done in my life.]
