On a green train bound for Jiangcheng, Pei Yan got groped by a pervert.

At the same time, another hand clasped his: pale and delicate, with a grip tight enough to nearly snap his wrist.

That was the first time Pei Yan met Lei Chen. His clothes were painfully tacky, but his face was undeniably his type.

Pei Yan made a move, only to get called a "liar" in return.

Fine, fine. Men only slow me down when I'm trying to draw my blade. I have more important things to deal with first.

Pei Yan had come to Jiangcheng to find someone.

He followed the clues to his younger sister's company, only to find yellow police tape stretched across the entrance.

Then, while climbing over a wall in the middle of the night, Pei Yan ran into Lei Chen again.

This time, Lei Chen went straight for the kill without a word.

If Pei Yan hadn't run fast, his head would have been separated from his neck!

The third time was at a nursing home. Lei Chen set the building on fire, nearly leaving him to die in the flames.

The fourth time was in a basement. Lei Chen tore off the ceiling, almost burying him alive.

The fifth time was...

Enough!

You bastard! I'll never forgive you!

A treasure belonging to the Lei clan was stolen, and Lei Chen, the young clan leader, was ordered to leave the mountain and investigate.

On the way, he encountered a "woman" who loved to wear all kinds of rose-themed outfits. She wore a smile that didn't reach her eyes and looked extremely dangerous.

No matter where Lei Chen went to investigate, the other person would mysteriously turn up at the scene.

Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, and always finding new ways to get himself killed. Lei Chen was kept on edge, more than once thinking of drawing his blade and ending it.

But the guy was just as strong as he was when he took off the women's clothes, and he was a ruthless two-faced schemer, too.

The more Lei Chen learned, the less sure he felt. Every minute, he wanted to take the other man out before he got himself killed.

Even more dangerous was the fact that

when he saw the pert backside outlined by those shorts, he inexplicably wanted to do what that pervert had done before and give it a squeeze!

Trapped in the abyss at the bottom of a tomb, Pei Yan counted off his unfinished wishes on his fingers.

A familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared over his shoulder. "Little liar, are you counting how many times you've tricked me?"

Pei Yan was scared out of his wits. Just like the first time he'd met this guy, he swung a slap at him.

"You bastard! Didn't I tell you to leave? Why jump down here to keep me company?"

Lei Chen turned his head and said in a low voice, "You said you'd treat me to mapo tofu from your hometown. Was that a lie, too?"

His voice was icy, but his bright red earlobes gave him away.

Pei Yan sank his teeth into him. "I'll eat you first!"
