Clear-headed, resilient heroine x gloomy, obsessive young master
Rekindled romance / coercive pursuit / living under the same roof / intense push and pull
01
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Zhizhen was a young master raised as the center of everyone's attention.
Pei Yandie was only a servant's child.
The two of them could never have had anything to do with each other.
No one knew that Pei Yandie hid a secret deep inside: She had seen Zhao Zhizhen at his most vulnerable and humiliating.
She feared him.
But in the year they graduated from high school, she drank too much, and the two spent one reckless night together.
02
After that night, they disappeared from each other's lives as if nothing had ever happened.
Pei Yandie always felt there was a shadow following her through life, but whenever she looked back, there was nothing there.
Eventually, she stopped paying it any mind.
03
The dim, hazy lighting made Pei Yandie uncomfortable. She had no idea which important figure could make these usually arrogant rich kids wait without daring to utter a single complaint.
She tugged on her boyfriend's sleeve and said, "I want to leave."
The door opened, and her eyes met his.
It was Zhao Zhizhen.
She wanted to run.
04
In the stairwell, her boyfriend was just on the other side of the door. Zhao Zhizhen toyed with a strand of her hair and asked casually, "Your boyfriend seems to be in a hurry. Shall we go out?"
He put a hand on the doorknob, as if about to turn it. Pei Yandie grabbed his hand, flustered and afraid. "Don't."
When she looked up, she could see his dark, deep-set eyes, as cold as his skin.
