Claiming Jiao Yu: The Madman’s Darling in His Palm

[Ruthless, cruel, possessive, and power-hungry × bright, proud heiress fallen on hard times] [Arms dealer and underground fight-club owner; a genius in weapons systems and engineering]

Zhou Yangzheng is a man everyone in the northern kingdom fears. Rumor has it he is ruthless, violent, and brazen in his position of power, with a vindictive streak and an obsession with profit.

Fu Lingyu was dazzling and spirited from a young age. Then her family went bankrupt overnight, and her parents disappeared. To pursue her passion, she joined a weapons research institute, but was captured at the worst possible time.

Zhou Yangzheng is cruel and possessive. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

When a rival set their sights on Fu Lingyu’s exceptional engineering talent and tried to recruit her, Zhou Yangzheng snatched her away and claimed her for himself, keeping the girl confined in his private estate.

As she drew closer to him to win him over, she discovered just how cruel and terrifying he was. Clearheaded, she began looking for a chance to escape.

But every time she tried to run, Zhou Yangzheng tightened his hold on her even further.

Unable to escape or get the better of him, the girl decided to treat him as a resource and carry on studying the field she loved. With a sweet smile and mischief tucked away, she called him “big brother” eight hundred times a day.

The man answered with a roguish, lazy smirk. “Want to try calling me something else?”

When cold, damp darkness engulfed the endless summer night, wild, sweet little berries soaked up the chill and ripened into the bitter cold of day.

As the chains began to crack and light seeped through the ruins, the girl chose freedom. But the man, always reckless and defiant, blocked her path once more. “Yu Yu, I can be your dog.”

This time, his eyes were rimmed red as he lowered his head and begged for her mercy. “Please. I’ll change, as long as you don’t leave.”
