When Rong Xu was left gasping for breath by so-called love, he had no idea that the heart-wrenching romance tormenting him was the work of someone's elective-course assignment.
For years, his adopted older brother had used him as a substitute and tormented him. He had suffered through an agonizing love triangle with his childhood friend, enduring both physical and emotional abuse. In the end, he died a pathetic, ridiculous death after shielding his unrequited love from a collapsing ceiling during an earthquake.
When Shen Buyan, another heir to a prominent family, entered his life with the scent of mint, he stood up for Rong Xu when Ji Yunze humiliated him, carried him to the hospital when he suffered gastric bleeding, and even used his own back as a wall of flesh and blood when an out-of-control car came hurtling toward them.
"How could I ever deserve to be saved like this?" Rong Xu bit Shen Buyan's collarbone as they made love.
The man ran a hand over his scars and smiled bitterly. "Perhaps the Creator has finally grown a conscience."
Only at the very end did Rong Xu understand what Shen Buyan meant by those repeated, inexplicable apologies in his midnight dreams.
"So the one who stabbed me and the one who took a blade for me were the same person."
