There’s an unspoken secret in the elite circles of the capital: the Huo family’s second son is mentally ill.
Noble and aloof, refined and inscrutable, unruly and obsessive.
But in Yu Zhiyi’s eyes, Huo Jihan is like a giant dog who can’t stop clinging to her.
Yes, clingy, domineering, and loyal, whispering every day that he loves only her.
At first, Second Young Master Huo is cautious.
“Zhizhi, will you only like me?”
Later, when faced with a young, handsome movie star acting alongside Yu Zhiyi, Second Young Master Huo boldly pulls his fiancée into his arms.
“Zhizhi, look at me. Don’t look at that old, smelly, ugly man!”
Later still, Huo Jihan’s eyes gleam with murderous intent, but his voice is as gentle as water.
“Zhizhi, don’t be afraid. No one can hurt you.”
People say you’d sooner pluck a tiger’s whiskers than cross Huo Jihan.
They also say any woman who marries Huo Jihan must have been cursed with eight lifetimes of bad luck.
But they don’t know that Huo Jihan has loved Yu Zhiyi since his innocent youth, all the way into adulthood.
For sixteen years, longing has consumed him and his devotion has become an obsession. He wants to place his heart and life in Yu Zhiyi’s hands.
***Little Scene***
【The daily rivalry between Second Young Master Huo and the dog for her affection】
“Zhizhi, who’s more important, me or Aisiji?”
Second Young Master Huo, usually so noble and aloof, points at the dog lying on Yu Zhiyi’s sofa with a long finger, his voice full of grievance.
Yu Zhiyi looks a little troubled. “Can’t you both be important?”
“No. You have to pick one!” Huo Jihan insists stubbornly.
Yu Zhiyi gives Huo Jihan a hug. “But Aisiji has to guard the house for me at night.”
Huo Jihan clings to her. “I’m more obedient than Aisiji, I’m not a picky eater, and I love you more...”
Yu Zhiyi’s heart melts. “You’re more important.”
The next day, Yu Zhiyi wakes to the sound of barking and sees Huo Jihan happily trimming Aisiji’s fur as he says, “Zhizhi has me now. You don’t need long fur anymore.”
One day, you’ll cross mountains and rivers, pass through lush fields and forests, and make your way through the boundless sea of humanity. Then you’ll know there’s someone who will stay by your side, deep in the passage of time.
There’s a kind of love that makes someone become a demon with one thought and a Buddha with the next, all for you.
