[Strong male lead and weaker female lead + huge class gap + older avoidant heroine + scheming younger CEO + possessive, obsessive love + sweet romance + happy ending]
Completed
Cao Li is just an NPC the System picked to fill in for someone else. You can tell from her name alone.
She’s no match for Pei Ji. She’s older and has had a child. Neither her status nor her looks or talents are anything to boast about.
But the original heroine ran away, so the System had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and shove her, a cleaning lady, into the role.
Only after she actually became the heroine did she realize that being kept like a canary wasn’t easy.
Pei Ji fell for her in no time and wanted to keep her tied to him day and night. When jealousy struck, he went completely out of his mind.
He even forced his parents to give in, taking her back to the old family home and hiding her away in Lan Garden, where no one could see her!
Cao Li is easygoing and indifferent to such things, so he only serves her and never asks for anything in return.
But Cao Li doesn’t like competing for attention. When she sees someone else is interested in him, she practically wants to deliver him to them herself.
Pei Ji gets frantic and furious, trying everything from acting lessons to dress-up games.
He says,
As long as that’s what you like, Sis! I can be a sweet puppy too!
The male lead is a younger man with an older-man vibe: extremely possessive, deeply insecure, and wildly jealous.
The mother and son each have their own official love interest, with separate storylines later on. Avoid if that’s not your thing.
Side couple: a scheming older top with a fatherly vibe, and a sweet, innocent, timid bottom. Avoid if that’s not your thing.
