Sleeping River Pretty Lodge, Room 216.

Jiang Xueyan lay on the soft bed. She didn't know what she had eaten wrong, her breathing was rapid, her body temperature was rising, and she felt weak all over. She didn't even have the strength to get up.

"So hot... what's happening to me?" There seemed to be a strange heat flowing through Jiang Xueyan's body, causing her mind to become more and more hazy.

Amidst the gloom, someone pushed open her bedroom door.

Heavy footsteps sounded. Jiang Xueyan thought it was her classmate, Lu Yumeng. She groaned faintly, "Yumeng... I feel strange... You... You must... call an ambulance for me..."

The person had reached the bedside and appeared to be examining her.

Jiang Xueyan uneasily turned her head. Although the lights were off in the room, some hazy moon-like light from the street lamps outside the window poured in, enabling her to clearly see the face of the man.

The man was not Lu Yumeng, but a stranger. The handsome man's face was filled with indifference. His facial features were delicate, his profile was deep, and his eyes were like deep seas in the night, reflecting a cold glow.

"Ah..." Jiang Xueyan cried out in surprise.

Why was there a man in her room?

"Don't... don't touch me!" Jiang Xueyan looked in terror at the man who was gradually approaching her.

The man frowned, the corners of his mouth twisting cynically, "Well then, to climb into my bed, you even dared to take the most deadly 'Extreme Xiang'?"

"Extreme Xiang?"

Half-conscious and increasingly confused, Jiang Xueyan was both shocked and puzzled. She couldn't understand the meaning of the man's words. Did she eat something wrong, turning herself into a fool?

Wait...+

Originally, Jiang Xueyan and her five classmates came here to hang out. She had a glass of juice at dinner that her boyfriend Song Jingquan had bought for her.

Could Song Jingquan have slipped something into her drink... that turned her into this?

Jiang Xueyan began to smell a strange scent in the air. The strong aroma seemed to be exuding from her own body!

Extreme fragrance, extreme fragrance! Could she really have ingested a drug called 'Extreme Fragrance'?

With trembling lips, she looked up at the man towering over her, pleading, "Please… take me… to the hospital!"

The man radiated an aura of dignity. The sneer at the corner of his lips was even more pronounced. "If you had the audacity to crawl into my bed, stop pretending now!"

The man, laughing coldly, sat down by the bed, tearing the blanket off Jiang Xueyan. Given it was winter, she was wearing a thick pajama that, however, could not conceal her beautiful figure.

The man reached out with a cold hand, lifted Jiang Xueyan's chin, his eyes glaring with malice. "The thing I despise the most are women like you who would do anything for money!"

Jiang Xueyan's body was shaking violently, her cute little face was extremely flushed, the intense inner turmoil caused her to let out an involuntary soft moan.

Her voice was seductively criminal. The man's eyes darkened for a moment as his Adam's apple bobbed.

Though he despised women who got into others' beds casually, he couldn't deny that this woman came across as more innocent and tempting than the others he had met before.

Her eyes were full of fear and pleading, which did not seem pretentious, yet after a while, they were replaced by a blurred look.

Using the last bit of sanity she had left, Jiang Xueyan pleaded, "Sir...please let me go... this is...my room!"

This room was clearly the one she had booked herself. How did it suddenly turn into her crawling into someone else's bed?

Had someone interfered during this process?

The man merely looked at her coldly, not doing anything out of line, but his hand held her chin in a painful grip.

"I... I feel so bad... help me... take me to the hospital... sob..." The strange sensation within her body became more intense, making Jiang Xueyan burst into tears. The sense of shame, of wanting a man, terrified her even more!

"You took the aphrodisiac, and you still want to go to the hospital? Without a man in your bed, you'll be knocking on heaven's door in ten minutes... You're bold, the bravest woman I've ever met!”

Disgust flashed in the man's eyes. “However, the man who will sleep with you, it won't be me!”

He suddenly stood up and turned to leave.

“Ah...” The next moment, Jiang Xueyan completely lost her mind. Controlled by the aphrodisiac, she tugged open her robes, and under the shadowy light, she bloomed like a beautiful white lotus. A seductive scent filled the room.

The man paused and turned his gaze back to Jiang Xueyan on the dark bed, his breath quickening.

The scent emanating from her body was indeed a mind-clouding poison!

"Ding!" The man's phone suddenly rang. He strode to the door, cracked it open, and his mind instantly cleared up.

He took out his phone and slid open the screen. Someone had sent him an email.

Opening the email, the man saw an image that popped up on the screen.

"Jiang Xueyan?”

It felt strangely familiar.

After reading the content, the man abruptly closed the door, strode to the bedside, and switched on the bedside lamp.

The dim yellow light, like the sunset hue, fell upon Jiang Xueyan's small face flushed with an abnormal blush. Her long eyelashes constantly quivered, like beautiful butterfly wings.

Her delicate features were contorted in pain, her vibrant red lips opening and closing in distress. Beads of cold sweat trickled down her forehead, dampening her shiny, black fringe.

The man glanced at the photo on his phone. The girl in the picture was identical to the face in front of him.

"Jiang Xueyan!"

"Mmm…" Jiang Xueyan, wracked with pain, writhed ceaselessly, devoid of any sense of reason.

The man switched off the bedside lamp.

Sounds of shedding clothes filled the room.

A faint, enticing scent hung in the air as the man's lithe body draped over the petite woman on the bed…

Jiang Xueyan felt as though she was dreaming, with a man drawing her into his arms, his lips tenderly sealing hers, sending shivers down her spine…

Mianjiang was an exclusive tourist area in Country Z. Visitors usually flocked here for the classical architecture on both sides of the river.

And there were plentiful guest houses and hotels in the area. Mianjiang Li Inn, located at the end of the Mianjiang corridor, often remained empty of guests.

Sunlight pierced through the thick blue curtains, casting a soft, luminescent glow over them.

When Jiang Xueyan opened her eyes, she could hear crisp birdsong in the distance.

Memories of the previous night rushed back into her mind like a tidal wave. The changes in her body, the unfamiliar man…

Her face instantly drained of color!

In panic, she tried to sit up but was met with unbearable pain throughout her body. Pulling back the covers, she discovered her previously pure and tender skin marked all over with ambiguous bruises...

The pain was a stark reminder of her loss of purity.

Jiang Xueyan's body trembled uncontrollably. Turning her head, she found that the man had left.

His words from the previous night echoed ceaselessly in her mind.
