◇ Villainous Heiress VS Love-Struck Loyal Hound
◇ Forced Love | Mutual Coercion | Male Canary | Aloof Beauty Turns Into a Brooding, Obsessive Ghost | Reunion After Years Apart | Mending a Broken Relationship
1.
Yu Mingjiu was used to having everything go her way. She liked things to unfold according to her wishes.
Forcing Jin You to play games with her was nothing but an act of malice.
She hated seeing the moon shine high above, so she dragged him into the mud, crushed his pride, and personally trained him into a loyal dog.
In the end, she abandoned him without a second thought.
They should have had nothing more to do with each other.
Seven years passed without a word. As soon as she returned to the country, she was caught up in a troublesome case.
A friend helped her get in touch with a well-known figure at a top-tier law firm, who became her temporary legal counsel.
The young man was tall and slender, dressed in a black cashmere coat over a finely tailored shirt and trousers, every button done up impeccably.
His features were cool and refined. He held out a hand to her. "Hello, Miss Yu."
"..."
Yu Mingjiu saw the old scars that would never fade beneath his pristine white cuffs, and a line flashed through her mind:
You can play the field, but sooner or later, you'll have to pay for it.

Yu Mingjiu had imagined that Jin You might take revenge, but she never expected it to happen so soon.
After a blind date dinner, she was dragged into a car and driven at high speed to the shore on the outskirts of town.
With the waves crashing and the night silent and deserted, she strained to pry open the locked car door. "Are you fucking crazy, Jin You? Do you even know what you're doing?"
As she questioned him in panic, the man snapped her SIM card in two and threw it out the window. Then he leaned over, pinning her against the back seat, and slowly wrapped a hand around her neck as he kissed her.
Their breaths mingled, hot and entangled, while hatred and love simmered between them.
"Of course I know. I'm committing a crime."
3.
When Jin You, still in high school and with nowhere else to turn, signed that contract, he knew full well he was nothing but Yu Mingjiu's toy.
So when she got bored of him,
she simply tossed him aside.
- I caught you, like catching a butterfly in the space between its wings -
