Unspeakable

Shen Yanhua is the clever, elegant campus belle of Huada University. With her graceful manners and poise, she's a role model to her peers and the perfect child in the eyes of the older generation.

But she has two secrets.

First, her boyfriend, Gu Yan, treats her as a stand-in for his first love, and she pretends not to notice.

Second, her boyfriend's uncle, Gu Heng, is her "late-night snack."

Gu Heng, the head of the Gu family, is aloof and refined, with an exalted position. Countless socialites and celebrities flock to him, yet he's never been involved in a scandal and keeps his private life extremely secretive.

By day, he's her senior fellow disciple from a side branch of their sect. They both observe proper decorum, embodying the ideal of a friendship between gentlemen as light as water.

But late at night, the aloof and distinguished Seventh Master Gu, so admired by outsiders, comes to her of his own accord and does everything he can to please her.

"Uncle, you can't tell anyone about tonight."

"...All right."

After their ambiguous relationship had continued for several months, Gu Heng was hopelessly entangled and eager to rise in status. But on the very day he intended to confess his feelings, he accidentally overheard her talking to a friend.

"...It was just an act."

The diamond ring he had carved with his own hands cut into his palm. Gu Heng turned away, expressionless.

From then on, the Seventh Master Gu, who had been "missing" in the eyes of his friends for a long time, returned. He was colder and more abstinent than ever, until one phone call made him lose all composure...

During a transnational meeting at the Gu Corporation, everyone witnessed the usually calm and self-controlled man turn red-eyed like a trapped beast. His voice trembling, he shouted, "Gu Yan, you useless piece of trash!" You couldn't even protect her!

[Bonus Scene]

The day Gu Yan's first love, Zhuang Qi, returned to the country...

At the carefully planned welcome-back party, Gu Yan took Shen Yanhua's hand and pleaded in a low voice, "Yanhua, Qiqi's dizzy. Could you let her wear the flats I brought for you?"

Ignoring the discomfort in her heels, Shen Yanhua smiled. "No need. Someone brought me a pair."

As soon as she finished speaking, a commotion arose at the entrance. A distinguished, handsome man stood at the center of everyone's attention, his tall, straight figure outlined by his perfectly fitted suit. The only incongruous detail was the pair of women's flats in his right hand.

Gu Yan lost his composure. "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

"I'm bringing her shoes." His girlfriend's nonchalant voice came from behind him.

#The student council president is actually willing to be someone's stand-in? She's fallen so far...#

#So what if she was the top scorer on the college entrance exam? She's still...#

#If Gu Yan marries Shen Yanhua, the Gu family will have another leeching relative to support!!#

The day she was attacked online, Shen Yanhua refused to get trapped in the endless cycle of proving herself. She ignored it, unaware that some people simply couldn't bear to see her suffer.
