Addiction

A sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, slightly unhinged girl VS a devoted, gorgeous, tragic older man A year ago, a red line appeared on Gu Man’s neck, stretching over her collarbone all the way to her heart. Every inch it grew brought her unbearable agony, as if a sharp sword were piercing her heart. Lu Yeming was the only cure for Gu Man. And Gu Man was the longest-serving stand-in Lu Yeming had kept by his side. But while other stand-ins did it for money, fame, or love, Gu Man did it to live to a hundred. When another man went after other women, his woman would cry, throw a fit, and threaten to hang herself. Gu Man was different. She would wash him clean, panting softly, then pin him to the bed: “You can go after other women, but at least satisfy me first.” . Later, Gu Man found another way to treat her illness and promptly struck a deal with someone, ready to ditch the scumbag. But Lu Yeming restrained her without a word of explanation. “What is it that I can’t give you?” Lu Yeming’s eyes darkened. His fingers tightened around the back of her neck, a shadow of madness in his gaze. “Should I steal it and give it to you?” “I won’t accept us going our separate ways,” he said in a low voice, each word deliberate. “I refuse.” The aloof, untouchable Lu Yeming looked at her pleadingly: “Even if you only like my body, that’s fine. Gu Man, please keep loving me.” . Only later did Gu Man learn that she had never been a stand-in. She was the woman Lu Yeming would risk his life to love.
