Spoiled Beyond Reason

Childhood sweethearts + love and hate + rekindled romance

After Lu Jue returned, everyone waited to see Nan Yu make a fool of herself.

They all thought she had left when Lu Jue was at his lowest and run off with an older man. They never expected her family to fall into ruin, while her childhood sweetheart returned in triumph and her old place was taken by her close friend.

The day she saw Lu Jue again, heavy snow fell over Jingzhou. They seemed like strangers, with little to say to each other.

Until one day, Lu Jue gripped her chin and pinned her in a corner, his words cutting. "What's so good about an old man? After trying it so many times, don't you know how good I am?"

"Couldn't guess I'd come back?"

Only then did she realize he hated her so much he wanted to tear her to pieces.

During the three months she was forced to work as his secretary, Nan Yu endured the unbearable. One streamer even secretly started a betting pool, wagering on when Lu Jue would have his fill of her and kick her to the curb. At last, news came that Lu Jue was getting engaged. Their secret relationship was over for good, and one night she packed her bags and left without a word.

Just when everyone thought she would never appear again, under a clear, moonlit sky, Jingzhou stayed awake all night, its dazzling lights spelling out one person's name.

Lu Jue blocked off three streets, then dropped to one knee in the crowded plaza. "Run away one more time and see what happens."

"Whether it's my uncle or me, you're part of the Lu family for good. Don't you get it yet?"
