Scheming, dark-hearted ingenue x ruthless, cold, madman
That year, on a night of revelry, a blood-soaked seventeen-year-old girl knelt to light his cigarette and begged him:
"Tan Xie, take me away from here."
Tan Xie lowered his head and blew a smoke ring at her. "Why should I?"
"Because you can't refuse what I have to offer." Her fair, innocent-looking face wore a shadowy smile.
That was the first time Tan Xie saw the glint of a blade in the eyes of the sweet girl who used to timidly call him big brother.

Yu Nan was a good girl.
After the Yu family fell into ruin, she used every scheme and stopped at nothing to survive.
Including threatening Tan Xie into taking her in.
Including climbing into his bed.
Including making Tan Xie fall in love with her and turning him into her sharpest weapon.
In the haze of passion, Tan Xie gripped her by the throat, his eyes still alight with unspent desire and ruthlessness.
"Don't you like me so much? Why stop pretending? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Yu Nan smiled boldly. The feeling of being choked only thrilled her more.
"Admit it, Tan Xie. You'd die without me."
*
For twenty-nine years, Tan Xie had been ruthless and unpredictable, so nearly everyone who knew him was afraid to go near him.
Until that good girl appeared. She acted timid and obedient, seduced him step by step, and even climbed into his bed in the middle of the night.
But when he saw the clarity and purity in her eyes,
Tan Xie turned her head away.
He gave in.
-I'd gladly become a stone beneath your feet, helping you climb higher, burning for you, and letting you cast me into the abyss.
