Alexiaou
She is a privileged heiress-sharp-minded, sharp-tongued, but soft-hearted. She's bright, bold, and willing to try, but never naïve. Loyalty runs in her bones-she'd go to war for her friends and cut down her enemies without hesitation. She doesn't indulge anyone, not even the male lead. She's the kind of person who charges forward knowing she might lose, like a beam of proud, unyielding light. Though, she is fond of pretty faces, pretty things, and excitement.
He is the Gu(Poison) King of Miao(a special part of China) territory-dangerous, calculating, and as deep and dark as the sea. On the surface, he appears gentle and reserved, but beneath that facade is nothing but cunning and poison. He's manipulative, obsessive, and his possessiveness borders on madness. He's cold and ruthless to everyone-except her. For her, he swallows his darkness and chains his obsession, though it festers into a sick dependence. If she so much as speaks kindly to another man, he smiles on the outside while jealousy boils like blood in his veins. And if she doesn't love him back-he'll break, lose control, fall to his knees, begging,
**"Please... choose me. Only me."**
They met on an adventure when the young lady rescues a cold and beautiful bodyguard-unaware he's actually the Gu King of the treacherous, poisonous forests deep in the mountains at first.
She saved his life, and he remembered her for the rest of his.
He plays the part of the gentle, harmless protector, staying close by her side, all while his darkness slithers just beneath the surface.
But the moment he sees her saving handsome men and protecting pretty boys, his facade shatters.
Driven mad with jealousy, the Gu King returns to his domain-just to retrieve the most vicious Gu, so she'll never look at anyone else again.
