Just an Ex-Boyfriend

[Mutually faithful leads, wicked beauty vs. devoted man]

Fu Yan is a bad woman. To her, men are just toys: when she gets bored of one, she tosses him aside and finds another.

In college, she set her sights on Jiang Lin.

He was a man who couldn’t stand her.

Fu Yan used a few tricks to win him over.

From then on, Jiang Lin couldn’t stop thinking about her, losing sleep night after night.

Later, Fu Yan got tired of him and used a few tricks to dump him.

Years later, they met again.

Sensing something off in the subtly charged atmosphere, the mutual acquaintance asked, “Do you two know each other?”

They answered almost in unison.

Fu Yan: “We’re not close.”

Jiang Lin: “We’ve slept together.”

To Jiang Lin, Fu Yan was a thoroughly awful woman.

She was brazen and wanton, with nothing to recommend her besides her pretty face.

And yet this was the woman who had bewitched Jiang Lin, leaving him pining for her for years.
