A Relentless Love, Step by Step

Gu Lingdang comes from a distinguished family and is devastatingly handsome, yet he is the notorious young scoundrel of S City, feared by all. He always gets what he wants. All it takes is a slight curl of his finger, and wealthy tycoons and powerful elites come bearing gifts. Chai Yang is one such "offering." Chai Yang's father is rich, but she herself is looked down on as a fallen nobody: a young lady by birth, but a servant by fate. She longs for family affection, yet the people closest to her hand her over to the young scoundrel as a slave, plunging her into the depths of hell. He has endless ways to torment her, but she fights back, struggling to escape danger. He takes what he wants by force and presses her at every turn. Having claimed her body, he wants her heart too, but she is battered and bruised, her heart already dead. ※※ If love is a war, and whoever falls in love first loses, then in their battle of love, will one of them win and the other lose, or will they both be left in ruins? Gu Lingdang curled his exquisite lips. "The word 'lose' has never been in my dictionary!" "Really? It's a good thing I don't lose either. Then let's wait and see who comes out ruined," Chai Yang replied with a cold smile. "Who says we'll both end up ruined? I've always thought a win-win is the greatest victory!" he said confidently. She had just opened her mouth when he abruptly silenced her before she could get a word out. He let her go and smiled wickedly. "My name is Gu Lingdang, and yours is Chai Yang. What a waste if we don't make some waves together!" "You pervert!" she glared at him angrily. "You're overthinking it," he teased, but took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, humming softly, "Let's row our oars together; our little boat parts the waves..." She stared at him in astonishment. She never expected him to know the song, let alone sing it so beautifully and warmly. "Let's go boating together," he said. "All right," she replied. Is a win-win the ultimate victory? No. Between men and women, the war of love never ends. It just changes form!
