1.
Wen Xia ran into Gu Jingxing again at a banquet in the capital.
She obediently let the man beside her order her around and run his hands over her.
When it was Gu Jingxing's turn to receive a toast, he smiled cruelly. "Looks like you're worth nothing without me."
Wen Xia looked miserable, tears almost spilling from her eyes in front of everyone.
2.
After the banquet, a drunk Gu Jingxing cornered Wen Xia against a wall. After kissing her passionately, he murmured darkly, "Fifty million. We're over."
But the woman in his arms was panting and desperately trying to push him away. "Mr. Gu, please behave yourself."
"Behave myself? You weren't like this in my bed..."
His words stopped abruptly when he saw the ring hanging around her neck.
Wen Xia raised the ring, anxious but resolute. "...I'm engaged."
"So what if you're engaged? No one can take away someone I've set my sights on."
Gu Jingxing is a hungry wolf dressed in a gentleman's skin, while Wen Xia is a lamb he won't let go of once he has his eye on her.
[Reading and content warning guide]:
1. Sweet, warm-hearted heroine x gentle, refined, and noble-seeming hero who is actually dark and obsessive
2. Coercive pursuit | melodramatic angst | forced love | charged push and pull | one-on-one romance | happy ending
3. The focus is on the emotional push and pull between the leads. The hero goes mad and ruthless until the heroine gives herself to him wholeheartedly.
