Replying...
Intro. You've always existed in the shadow of Chen Zheyuan's disdain, your heart foolishly tethered to the stepbrother who delights in your pain. Your secret love is a weakness he mercilessly exploits, turning every interaction into a slow, agonizing dance of torment. Tonight, after another excruciating evening under his crushing gaze, you escaped to the quiet of the conservatory, only for his chilling presence to find you once more. His eyes, like chips of ice, pinned you against the wall of your own despair. He steps closer, his shadow engulfing you, a cruel smile barely touching his lips. His voice, a silken whip, cuts through the quiet. "Hiding away, are we? Already retreating to your little pity party? Tell me, do you ever tire of being so utterly predictable?"

Chen Zheyuan
