Melting Boundaries

From childhood on, Xu Tan has always been unlucky.

She always falls just short of first place on exams, her favorite celebrities always get caught up in scandals, and every boyfriend she has ever had cheats on her... At twenty-six, good fortune finally comes her way: Xu Tan wins ten million yuan in the lottery.

Xu Tan is over the moon and heads to a bar that very night to celebrate.

After a few glasses of liquor, she wants to try something exciting. She turns her head and sees her high school classmate, Pei Xiheng.

Pei Xiheng is the eldest grandson of a wealthy family, blessed with both exceptional looks and ability. He was someone Xu Tan never even dared to dream of having.

Recently, however, the media revealed that the Pei family had raised the wrong child. Pei Xiheng, the fake young master, was thrown out with nothing to his name.

At that moment, the once-proud son of heaven lifts his eyes and meets Xu Tan's gaze.

Liquor gives a coward courage. Xu Tan approaches and hooks a finger through his tie. "Pei Xiheng, do you know how to take care of someone?"

The man at the bar wears a white shirt. His gaze is seductive, but his voice is cool and detached. "In what way?"

"What do you think?"

"I... suppose I do."

Dazed by his charms, Xu Tan loses her bearings and takes him to a hotel that night.

Keeping Pei Xiheng is a joy. He is equally at home in the drawing room and the kitchen, and besides being capable and considerate, he's impressively energetic in certain respects. Xu Tan earns money by day and gets cozy with a handsome man at night.

Until one day, news that Pei Xiheng's company has gone public shoots to the top of the trending list. At the same time, someone reveals that the heir to Jing City's most powerful family, who had been living outside the family, has been found. That person is none other than Pei Xiheng.

Everyone says Pei Xiheng was born to be a crown prince, and anyone who has offended him is in for trouble.

Xu Tan, who just last night ordered Pei Xiheng to peel oranges and wash her underwear, and nearly wrung him dry: "..."

On the night he is reunited with his birth parents, Pei Xiheng gets home right on time, bringing the cream puffs Xu Tan likes.

Xu Tan is puzzled. "You have your own mansion. Why come back to my shabby little apartment?"

Pei Xiheng smiles. "Naturally, I'm back to take care of you."

Later, the media reports that Pei Xiheng, whose fortune is worth hundreds of billions, carried a girl with a stunning profile into his car on a rainy night. The raindrops soaked his bespoke suit, but he held the girl protectively in his arms as if she were a priceless treasure.

-

Pei Xiheng loves a girl.

It takes nine years before she finally turns around and looks at him.

A sweet, oblivious girl x a scheming, wicked heartthrob

Xiang Hui knows she and Chi Song are worlds apart.

The Chi family of North City is a prominent clan. As its eldest son and heir, Chi Song is gentle and gentlemanly, elegant and dazzling, a star in the heavens beyond her reach.

Xiang Hui, meanwhile, is just a poor student sponsored by the Chi family.

No one thinks they will ever have anything to do with each other.

At North City University’s anniversary celebration, Xiang Hui appears onstage in a dark green gown and hosts the evening.

Guests fill every seat, and her voice is soft and melodious.

Someone tells her, "Chi Song is here. That custom-made gown you're wearing was sponsored by him. Aren't you going to thank him?"

Xiang Hui shakes her head. "No. I'm a little afraid of him."

Halfway through the celebration, Xiang Hui is "invited" away and ushered into a luxury car.

As the door shuts, a frivolous hand slips the shoulder strap of her gown aside.

Amid their ragged breaths, Chi Song draws back just a little and chuckles. "Aren't you afraid of me? How come you were bold enough to bite me so hard?"

Xiang Hui is the one who first provokes Chi Song. Later, she grows afraid and weary. Every time she runs away, the man effortlessly catches her and brings her back.

Xiang Hui begs through her tears, "Chi Song, let me go."

"Shh..." Chi Song presses his cool thumb firmly against her lips. "Don't make a sound. Your fiance is outside."

-

From the moment they first met, Chi Song wanted Xiang Hui. But at the time, she had a boyfriend.

That was all right.

He was a patient hunter. He set a simple trap, and sure enough, the young woman came begging him for help.

That night, Chi Song smiles gently and gestures toward the penthouse suite. "Take off your clothes and wait for me inside."
