[Don't pick up men by the roadside unless you knocked them out yourself]
[Unhinged, fragile parasitic flower] x [Untouchable young nobleman]
The second son of the Cui family was as elegant as an orchid and as handsome as a heavenly being. He was one of the most famous young talents in the capital.
A Peng was merely the illegitimate daughter of a minor official. Naturally, she had no dealings with someone as extraordinary as him.
But one “accident” led her to find Cui Jue, gravely wounded and blind. Such a fragile, solitary crane deserved to be kept in A Peng's hands and carefully cherished.
So when she discovered that Cui Jue had left without permission, A Peng lost her temper for the first time. She slapped him hard across the face, then kissed his handsome face and wept in sorrow:
“Does it hurt, Erlang?”
“Don't say things like that to provoke me into leaving. I just love you too much. I can't control myself.”
Cui Jue was born into a great clan and had observed its strict rules since childhood. The noblewomen he knew were all quiet and composed, nothing like the woman who saved him that day.
After he was attacked and fell off a cliff, the woman who rescued him repaid herself for her kindness by making him her husband.
Twenty-eight days later, the Cui family finally found him. Most of his old wounds had healed, but strange blue and purple bruises covered his skin.
The first thing Cui Jue did upon waking was order a search for the woman. But the news he received was that she had died a gruesome death, leaving no body behind.
A madwoman was dead. Who would care?
Two years passed. Cui Jue thought those absurd days belonged to another lifetime, but at his cousin's wedding banquet, he heard that familiar voice again.
The craving buried in his bones began climbing up his spine and burrowing into his organs, tearing at his heart and soul.
Her elder half-sister always said A Peng was timid and weak, good for nothing. But she didn't know that A Peng had already plucked the second son of the Cui family, the moon in the sky that all the noble young ladies longed for.
In a secret room, A Peng's body was covered in red marks of every size, yet the man before her still wasn't satisfied. He pulled open his collar, revealing the bite mark A Peng had left two years ago. His gaze darkened.
“You owe me.”
1. Two people starved of love force each other to love, and somehow end up with a bizarre happy ending?
