She came drenched in blood, carrying a lifetime of hatred from two lives. She would give everything to take back what had always belonged to her and her mother, and make those who had hurt them pay in blood.
In her quest for revenge, she got involved with a man she could never afford to provoke. She thought they were simply using each other to get what they wanted.
But he kept pursuing her, closing in step by step until he had her cornered.
“Woman, you stirred up trouble with me and now you think you can run? Nothing in this world comes that cheap.”
She looked utterly innocent. “But I don't have any money.”
“That's fine. You can pay me back in person!”
[About the Male Lead]
Who is Gu Jingnan?
A household name in A City, he comes from a powerful family. Cold and ruthless, inscrutable and untouchable, he has weathered more than his share of bloodshed and turmoil.
A man like him is intimidating to look at and terrifying to hear about.
Xia Qianqian looked at everyone, confused. “Really? Isn't he just a rich second-generation heir who's loaded, cool and aloof, but kind of shy?”
Everyone: ...
Were they talking about the same person?
[About Love]
He said, “Baby, I don't mind you lying to me, but watch how often you do it.”
But she kept lying to him again and again, never learning her lesson.
So he kept forgiving her, over and over.
He said, “You can do anything you like, just don't cross my line.”
But she kept lying and pushing his limits again and again.
So he kept moving the line, over and over, until he could take no more.
Could there really be someone in this world who would show you endless patience and indulgence, no matter when it was or what you did?
For Xia Qianqian, Gu Jingnan was exactly that person.
[Scene One]
“Mr. Gu, I have a nice bottle of red wine at home. Would you like to try it?”
She rose on tiptoe and breathed sweetly into his ear.
“Sure.” He raised an eyebrow slightly and agreed in an even tone.
Faced with her clumsy, inexperienced, and utterly unoriginal seduction, he accepted without hesitation.
Afterward, his friend snickered.
“You're the mighty Young Master Gu. You can get all the wine you want. Aren't you being a little indiscriminate?”
He shot his friend a cold glance. “What's it to you?”
For him, she was worth it.
