[Radiant runaway beauty x restrained, patient undercover agent]
Ye Chunhe had known since childhood that beauty could get her anything she wanted.
Money, fame, status.
Countless people were drawn to her, but all they wanted was to greedily keep her as a caged bird, taking her out to admire and toy with.
But she grew tired of it, so she ignored the threats and fled to an unfamiliar northern town.
She staged a carefully planned robbery, ditched her phone and purse with their tracking devices, pretended to be penniless, and imposed on a kind, trusting young woman she met on the road.
The girl was poor and relied on her truck-driving older brother.
Ye Chunhe couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
When she turned around, she came face-to-face with a steady, muscular man opening the door, his sharp features momentarily stunned.
Ye Chunhe smiled radiantly.
In return, the man gave her an almost hostile look and coldly told her to "get out."
For the first time in her life, her beauty had failed her.
But it didn't matter. Someone like him would make the perfect dog. ^_^

Chi Xuezhou was the finest blade stationed at the coastal port.
Sun-kissed skin, 190 centimeters tall, an eight-pack, and a waist built like a stud.
He could spin a steering wheel with one hand, and of course, hold a gun steady too.
He had reminded himself countless times:
In a jungle full of danger, the only person you can trust is yourself.
But Ye Chunhe...
Bright and beautiful, like a flower in spring.
But sometimes, she was rather silly.
Her attempts at seduction were clumsy, and she was too trusting. Kitchen smoke made her eyes turn red, and she complained that the bed wasn't soft enough, asking how anyone could sleep on something so hard.
Yet the corners of her mouth would secretly turn up.
For both work and personal reasons, Chi Xuezhou shouldn't have taken her in.
But he couldn't help throwing himself into the flames like a moth.
He would travel a long way back just to cook for her.
He would save for ages to buy her an exorbitantly expensive set of four bedding pieces and take her to see hillsides blanketed with cherry blossoms.
And like now.
When a man in a suit forcibly reached out, and Chi Xuezhou saw her helplessly redden her eyes, veins bulged on his forehead. He acted before thinking, stepping forward to pull her protectively into his arms.
With a bloodied hand, he gently brushed her hair.
"Don't cry. I'll take you away."
"You know that as long as you ask,"
"I'll do anything for you."
