"You have stood in the light for so long that you have forgotten what darkness looks like."
Yu Xi is the brightest star in Haiyuan City - she comes from a wealthy family but devotes herself to public welfare and speaks for the weak as a lawyer. What she didn't know was that in the shadows she couldn't see, there was always a pair of eyes guarding her.
Ye Lin, the ruler of the underground world, walks in the darkness in the disguise of a devil. No one knew that this cold-blooded man had a box of melted strawberry candies locked in the study drawer, which was his only remaining warmth.
When Yu Xi accidentally uncovers the ugly truth behind the family's glamorous appearance, the four major families' pursuit orders follow one after another. The rumored bloodthirsty and cruel head of the Ye family "kidnapped" her and imprisoned her in a safe house that only he knew about——
"Why help me?"
"Because you are the only one..." He paused, his Adam's apple rolling, "I regard... As a friend."
She didn't know that he had her name engraved on his wrist;
He didn't dare to say that those "accidental encounters" were all planned for a long time.
"I am willing to sink into the darkness, just to let you live in the light forever."
In this game of light and darkness, the most painful thing was never the bullet or the blade, but the look in his eyes that pretended not to love when he pushed her away.

"When the whole world calls him a devil, only I know - he is the stupidest martyr I have ever seen."
Intention: Love is not salvation, but choice - even if you are in darkness, you must protect the last light in your heart.
