A love that sinks into the marrow, a poisonous obsession that seeps into the blood. My way of spoiling you isn't to give you everything. It's to let you go, to send you far away from my life, so you won't get hurt. The kind of love I want is making breakfast for you, straightening your tie before work, taking care of the house, watching over our baby, and spending a happy lifetime together.
So we head in opposite directions, dreaming of a shore we'll never reach.
Highlights:
I don't know what came over him. Looking at the woman with tear-streaked cheeks, Yu felt something in a corner of his heart slowly soften. He gently wiped the tears from Meng's face, and she stirred uneasily. Suddenly, Yu's expression turned cold. Looking at the sleeping Meng, he said, “Your face nearly fooled me. You'll never become Xiao Meng. You're nothing but a bitch.” Then he quickly got dressed, climbed into his beloved Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, and drove away. Meng slowly opened her eyes, threw on some clothes, and stood where Yu had just been, watching him leave. So she wasn't even as important as a car. She still couldn't make him give her his heart. Who was this Xiao Meng he kept calling for? Meng knew all too well that she had fallen so low as to love the man who called her a “bitch.” She loved his domineering ways and his unreasonable behavior. But she couldn't tell him, because he would never care, just as he hadn't six years ago.
“Mr. Zhou must want something from me, or you wouldn't have asked me here, right? So just say it. What do you want before you'll tell me?” Hearing this, he suddenly stood up, slowly bent down, and leaned toward Luo Meng with an overpowering air. He moved close until his face was only a few centimeters from hers, then spoke in an irresistibly teasing voice: “It's simple!”
She stared at him in disbelief and said, “I won't fall in love with you. I won't show you any emotion...”
Character introductions:
Luo Meng gambled all the luck she had in her life on winning his affection.
She was the kindest girl in the orphanage, yet at the fateful moment she was destined to meet him, and from that first glance, a thousand years passed.
She forgave him with all the compassion she had, just because he said, “Forgive me, for everything.” For him, she gave everything, even risking her life to protect him, though she was hurting and furious enough to die.
Just as she was about to soar with happiness, she heard him say, “You've always been my mistress, a woman who grovels at my feet. Never forget that. All those sweet words were just to confuse you, so I could possess your heart. You poor thing, get out of my life. I'm tired of you!”
Zhou Haoyu is aloof, ruthless, and lonely, so lonely it hurts to see. He can humble himself and beg them to spare his woman, yet when they beat him and break three of his ribs, he doesn't make a sound. He asks nothing from life except that the woman he holds in the palm of his hand find happiness. But... but... fate has its cruel way, and all those romantic, tender moments collapse in an instant amid the sound of gunfire. Bang!
Zhou Haoting is a man who makes you sigh, someone you can't bring yourself to hate. He gives vent to his feelings in his own way. He takes revenge in the most extreme way, only to end up covered in wounds himself. Hiding in a corner, he covers his face with his hands and sobs like a child, his heart breaking.
Xiao Meng uses her mysterious identity to play the villain, but everything she does has a heartbreaking reason behind it. (Click to read about the other characters...)
