Shen Ji was refined and well-mannered, an excellent student, and rumored to be connected to the fabulously wealthy Shen family. He was practically perfect.

Only Jasmine had stumbled upon his secret.

On a rainy night, the boy knelt on the ground like a stray dog. His cold, gleaming eyes stared straight at her.

That handsome face was merely a mask, modeled after his older brother. Beneath it lay bottomless cruelty: a rotten soul, born without a conscience.

From that day on, the shadows followed her everywhere.

She was cornered in a pitch-black alley, her ugly smile reflected on her tiny phone screen alongside the malicious boy.

"You know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"

He stroked her gently, as if teasing a kitten.

"Don't even think about getting rid of me. We have plenty of time."

One winter, a year later, Jasmine followed her boyfriend to a foreign country, only to hit one obstacle after another.

Adrift and struggling, she accepted a tutoring job her boyfriend recommended, going to a business partner's home to tutor his younger brother.

She skimmed the contract as usual. The only unusual thing was that the client field was blank.

She signed without a second thought. A long-fingered hand reached from behind, took her pen, and wrote two graceful characters.

Shen Ji.

"Is he that good?"

"I sent someone to ask you, and you wouldn't come. Why did you agree when he asked?"

He gripped her waist tightly, his large hand stroking her from below.

Jasmine gritted her teeth and shoved him away. "You're crossing the line."

As if to get revenge, he bit her cold ear hard.

"Then keep your voice down. We wouldn't want him to hear."

The day she tried to escape Shen Ji, rain poured down in torrents.

He pressed a sharp object against his own chest, his eyes bloodshot.

"So you've finally learned my methods."

Jasmine glared back at him. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I want you to love me."

His voice was hoarse.

"Please."

[Reader's guide]

There are shards of glass everywhere. This is extremely unfriendly to fans of the female lead, so don't read if that bothers you!!

The female lead gradually changes. She is by no means a helpless flower clinging to a tree.

She will become very ruthless in the middle and later parts. Her boyfriend only holds her hand and hugs her.

The male lead is a truly deranged man who wins himself over.

Truly deranged, truly dark, and everyone gets dragged through the emotional wringer.

No accepting emotional abuse. Every villain will get the punishment they deserve.
