On the night Zhong Ling went into a severe heat, her fiance broke her wings for the sake of power and threw her into a pack of demons, all of them alphas.

Xie Yaoyi happened to pass by and saw his old nemesis pinned down by a group of demons, lying helplessly among the poppies, humiliation tinting the corners of her eyes a faint red.

Seeing the once lofty commander of the angel army reduced to this was enough to make even a demon sigh.

"How did you end up in such a miserable state...?"

Xie Yaoyi drove the demons away, then slowly crouched down. Lowering his lashes, he flirtatiously lifted her chin with the tip of his knife and asked Zhong Ling, who had been tormented until she was a disheveled mess, "I saved you. How are you going to repay me?"

Zhong Ling's face was flushed, her pupils unfocused and unfixed, and her rich pheromones gave off an explosively enticing scent.

Her eyes were misty with tears. She seemed unable to recognize the demon before her.

Her appearance was both utterly seductive and utterly vulnerable, stirring a desire to torment her deep in the demon's heart.

Xie Yaoyi paused. His gaze gradually darkened. He swept her into his arms, carried her home, and kicked the door shut.

Bai Luotan was tired of being a lowly fallen angel, while Zhong Ling, a Seraph, was highborn and commanded the angel army. She was his surest path to a higher rank.

He deliberately got close to her, bled and suffered injuries for her, and spent who knew how long melting her icy heart.

After using her to climb the ranks and taking everything from her, Bai Luotan finally felt a glimmer of pity and decided to help her through her difficult heat.

...But she refused.

In a fit of rage, Bai Luotan threw her among the demons and swept away.

Fifteen minutes later, he returned, planning to look down on her as she begged him for mercy, only to find she was already gone.

The next morning, Zhong Ling woke amid the wreckage. Demon feathers were scattered all over the room.

Xie Yaoyi thought she would be furious, demand answers, or even cry out. Instead, she simply sat quietly at the head of the bed and asked him for a cigarette.

She couldn't have been calmer.

Xie Yaoyi didn't pay much attention to her abnormal behavior.

He went out on his own.

When he returned, he found his home smashed to pieces.

His priceless castle had become a beggar's den overnight. All kinds of rare ornaments lay shattered on the floor, dead and unseeing.

Zhong Ling looked Xie Yaoyi in his icy eyes and said, "How many underworld coins? I'll pay you back."

Xie Yaoyi sneered and pressed her onto the bed. "I don't want money. I want..."

A holy angel who always gets even vs. a carefree, unhinged demon

At a campus arts showcase at Jiangnan Dance Academy, two students stood out from the group dance and made the school's discussion board headlines.

The reason was their bold, suggestive dance moves.

In the video, the boy bent over and braced both hands on the floor, supporting his whole body. With astonishing strength in his waist, he raised his legs into the air and then lowered them, stopping just inches from the girl below.

Their gazes met, their breaths mingled.

As his leg came down, their legs tangled together in a disorderly mess.

The girl below paused for a moment, then twisted around. In an instant, they switched places, and she pinned the boy beneath her.

"..."

The video drew countless replies. The students called it thrilling and started gossiping about the relationship between the two dancers.

Some people asked for their contact information, but most were waiting to see if they could ship the couple.

The group dance was a huge success and won widespread praise. Discussion of the two dancers remained popular, too.

Only the two people involved knew that the supposedly suggestive moves weren't part of the choreography at all. They had simply been a stage accident.

Still, having a rumor spread was better than having the whole performance fall apart onstage.

They thought the gossip would die down with time, but a few days later, the video went viral again.

This time, the replies weren't filled with people shipping them. They were all blaming the girl in the video.

Rumor had it that she had seduced the boy in the video, causing him to break up with his girlfriend.

Xuan Manzhi stared silently at the replies... Had she been made the other woman?

It was true that Xuan Manzhi liked Jiang Zuiyu, and she knew he had a girlfriend.

So she could never say those words openly and honestly: "I like you."

She really shouldn't have fallen for someone who already had a girlfriend.

...But can you control your feelings?

She had once pretended not to care and walked around the track again and again with a friend, just to get a glimpse of him.

But even in her dreams, she knew he would never fall for her.

The day she found out he was in a relationship, Xuan Manzhi deleted the only blurry photo of him on her phone.

Had her constant hesitation and retreat led to the situation she was in now...?

Jiang Zuiyu knew that whether or not he made a name for himself as a dancer, he would eventually have to go back and inherit the family business.

His four years at university were the last time he could immerse himself in dance.

In a fit of frustration, he somehow ended up with a girlfriend.

He never expected to catch her cheating just a few months into their relationship.

Jiang Zuiyu tossed out, "The country thanks you for contributing to the three-child policy," then swept away with a wave of his sleeve, leaving without a trace.

He never expected that a month later, he would be accused of being the one who cheated on her.

He could put up with being called a scumbag and a heartless cad, but could he put up with being told he had no eyes and that his whole family should die?

And there was also an innocent victim he had dragged into this.

Young Master Jiang launched into a furious counterattack.

Jiang Zuiyu didn't know much about Xuan Manzhi.

He only remembered that she was aloof and the top student in their class.

Then one day, while going to a bar to haul his mom away, he unexpectedly saw her wearing a long, curly blonde wig and an ultra-short skirt, dancing in the club in little high heels.

Jiang Zuiyu raised an eyebrow. "Well, well."

Xuan Manzhi turned around and met his eyes. The smile froze on her lips.

Jiang Zuiyu never thought he could like someone so much, until Xuan Manzhi stopped replying to his messages.

He posted her photo on the confession wall with a missing-person notice, saying that the girl in the picture hadn't answered him for days. Could she please reply? She shouldn't keep disappearing without warning.

Xuan Manzhi got angry and called him at once. "What exactly do you want?"

A boy's chuckle came from the other end. "So you finally decided to talk to me?"
