Behind the red wedding curtains, Su Huai kissed Xiao Yu by force.
The moment their lips parted, she ruined both her own chance at love and Xiao Yu's.
Su Huai is the lovesick supporting actress in a melodramatic romance, doomed to love the male lead without ever winning his heart.
To escape the control of the plot, she decides to win over Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu is the male lead's closest friend, as untouchable as the moon.
Su Huai acts meek and follows him around all day, turning her act into a celebrated tale of unrequited love.
Xiao Yu watches coldly from his lofty perch.
"Yesterday you were in love with him, and today you say you're interested in me. Su Huai, your feelings aren't worth a thing."
--
One day, Xiao Yu falls into a trap and drinks a potent aphrodisiac.
His eyes red, he forces himself to open the door and tells Su Huai to leave quickly.
Su Huai locks the door behind her.
By the time the red candles burn out, the two who emerge from the room are no longer innocent.
Looking at the young man's icy expression, Su Huai apologizes silently.
Having gotten what she wanted, Su Huai signs a marriage contract with Xiao Yu and finally escapes the plot.
With her goal achieved, Su Huai tries to run, but Xiao Yu grabs her slender, pale ankle and drags her back.
"Wife, before you abandon me, let's take care of what matters first." The love and hatred in Xiao Yu's eyes burns even hotter than it did the day he drank the aphrodisiac.
Later on...
Su Huai regrets it. Why did she ever provoke Xiao Yu?
He's the most dangerous man of all!
