"You dare to run away!"
"Young Master, please, don't kill me! I was really confused for a moment when I helped your elder brother. Please give me another chance!"
In an alleyway beside the Seine, a man with a bruised and swollen face knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Young master, please spare me this time. I promise I will serve you like a slave and do anything for you."
Knock knock.
The man looked up, trembling.
All I could hear was the sound of metal scraping overhead.
That was the sound of leather shoes rubbing against stone bricks.
The cold, damp rain pattered against Lorenzo Cosimo's face.
He leisurely took the dagger handed to him by his subordinate and played with it at will.
A few days ago, his father passed away. He inherited the gang according to the old man's will, but this aroused the jealousy of the eldest brother, who not only sent people to hunt him down, but also bribed his people to frame him.
Cosimo lazily unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his white shirt section by section to his forearm.
A cold, indifferent smile appeared on his thin lips.
“I promised my father that I wouldn’t get blood on my shirt during the mourning period.”
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise today."
As he spoke, he grabbed the traitor's head and pressed a dagger against his neck.
Bang.
Just as he was about to make his move, several gunmen suddenly sprang out from the corner at the end of the alley.
The gun barrel was pointed at Cosimo.
The first shot hit him squarely in the arm.
"Young Master, there's an ambush!"
"Damn it! Protect the young master and get out of here immediately!"
The rapid Italian chatter, accompanied by the dense gunfire, filled the alleyway.
Cosimo's eyes turned bloodshot, but a smile played on his lips, like a child who had just received a great toy and was thinking about how to play with it to the fullest.
The international student apartment is only 500 meters away from the alley.
Qin Xue numbly reached for her keys to open the door, the key just barely touching the lock.
Her hand trembled uncontrollably.
His eyes, which had been foggy from dancing all night, suddenly lit up.
She was reborn!
Reborn to the first night I met Cosimo.
She came to France to study after graduating from high school and is a true French student.
I met my boyfriend, Chu Huainan, a painter, during my junior year of college.
The two had very compatible family backgrounds and values, and their relationship developed naturally with almost no dramatic twists or turns.
Her ordinary and happy life was completely ruined after she met Cosimo.
Cosimo was attacked in Paris and happened to escape to the vicinity of her apartment.
Seeing that he was seriously injured and unconscious, Qin Xue had a sudden urge to take him back to the dormitory to bandage him up, thus diverting the gunman who wanted to kill him.
I thought Cosimo was just a scoundrel who wasn't after anything.
Unexpectedly, Cosimo was the most feared figure in Sicily.
Countless lives were lost under his command.
You could break a neck in a minute.
Cosimo wanted to repay Qin Xue.
He wanted to repay her with his body, making Qin Xue the most honored woman in Sicily.
Qin Xue was so frightened that she dropped out of school and returned to China.
Cosimo not only followed her, but also managed to control her parents and boyfriend, Chu Huainan, forcing her to submit.
From childhood to adulthood, anything he wanted had to be his.
His love is both yandere and terrifying.
Locking her in the villa and forbidding her from seeing anyone is the least of her worries.
If any man glances at her even twice, his eyes will be gouged out.
"Xue'er, I'm the only one watching."
Qin Xue could recall Cosimo's sticky, deep voice whenever she closed her eyes.
In order to protect Chu Huainan, Qin Xue had no choice but to break up with him, and she said many heartless things.
Chu Huainan never recovered from this setback and was even unable to paint.
He would get completely drunk every day and stay in the dormitory where she used to live, hoping to see her one more time.
That's how she met Qin Xue's roommate, Fu Yu.
Over time, the two became a couple, and with Fu Yu's encouragement, Chu Huainan picked up his paintbrush again.
He went on to create several famous paintings, quickly becoming a genius painter in the art world.
Perhaps due to the deep emotional wounds he suffered after breaking up with Qin Xue, coupled with his drinking habit, Chu Huainan died of illness in the seventh year of his marriage to Fu Yu.
He left Fu Yu three masterpieces that have been passed down through generations, as well as countless other legacies.
And what about Qin Xue?
Being with Cosimo certainly provided for all our needs, but what's the point of having more money if we lose our freedom?
Upon hearing Chu Huainan's obituary, she shed only a few tears, but Cosimo flew into a rage.
She truly loathed Cosimo, even helping his elder brother usurp the throne.
Hopefully, Cosimo will fall from grace.
Unexpectedly, his older brother was a complete idiot, all bark and no bite. He failed to outmaneuver Cosimo and instead crashed Qin Xue's car off a cliff.
As seawater filled her nasal cavity, Qin Xue felt incredibly foolish.
If I had stood by and done nothing, or hadn't gone back to my apartment, I wouldn't have run into Cosimo.
She can then happily be with Chu Huainan.
Chu Huainan will not die.
All of this is Cosimo's fault!
Just as I was about to suffocate and lose consciousness, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in my mind.
"Female lead, do you need to be reborn? Press TD to unsubscribe."
Rebirth?
Qin Xue then realized that she was the female protagonist of a yandere novel.
The ruthless Cosimo is a yandere male protagonist.
Fu Yu and Chu Huainan were automatically paired up due to the novel's system's balancing principle.
Does that mean that as long as Qin Xue avoids Cosimo, the yandere, after her rebirth, she can avoid being imprisoned and forced into love?
Qin Xue resolutely chose to be reborn.
When the door to the international student dormitory appeared before her again, Qin Xue pulled out the key almost without hesitation, pressed the elevator button, and ran away.
It seems Cosimo was about to be hunted down by gunmen and had fled here.
