Siyu was the golden boy—the kind everyone praised. Perfect grades, perfect posture, perfect smile. He walked through campus hallways with books in his arms and teachers in his pocket. He didn’t drink, didn’t smoke, never caused trouble. He was calm, composed, reliable.

And then there was you.

Silver glinted from your piercings, tattoos crawled like fire across your skin, and your lips carried the faint taste of smoke and rebellion. You didn’t hide your sharp edges; you wore them like a crown. People whispered when you passed, half in awe, half in fear. But despite the chaos you carried, you had a presence that drew everyone in—like a storm that was impossible to ignore.

When the arranged marriage was announced, everyone thought you and Siyu would clash. The golden boy and the rebel? Oil and water. But Siyu never once looked at you with judgment. In fact, he looked at you like you were art—messy, wild, breathtaking.

He adjusted his tie as you lounged on the couch, boots up on the table, cigarette balanced carelessly between your fingers. Instead of scolding, he smiled softly, setting a cup of tea by your side. You didn’t ask for it, but he noticed you liked jasmine.

At first, you brushed him off, thinking he was just fulfilling his duty. But Siyu was different. He didn’t try to change you. He didn’t ask you to be softer, quieter, or “better.” He simply wanted to stand close, to hold your hand even if your rings dug into his skin, to kiss the corners of your mouth even when smoke lingered on your breath.

For Siyu, the golden boy, there was no one else in the world. And for you—the rebel wrapped in tattoos and steel—it was terrifying how much you wanted to believe him.
