My Dear Rose Princess

Adorable little sweetheart x a seemingly gentle but secretly ruthless big shot [Guiding lover + five-year age gap]

Important note: The story is told in third person, and it is an incredibly sweet romance! Absolutely delightful!

Heroine’s blurb:

For eighteen years, I, Shen Xingyao, had only my older sister to rely on. Just when I finally started falling in love, it ended with my sister’s tragic death.

I swore I’d avenge her, no matter the cost.

Later, I chose a man.

I thought I’d made a deal with the devil. I never expected to be saved instead. He laid everything at my feet and spoiled me like a princess.

At last, I sent my enemy to prison, only to discover a truth I couldn’t accept.

The sister I’d depended on had been the executioner behind all my suffering.

The love my long-lost parents gave me was mixed with self-interest.

I was only eighteen, yet already so exhausted I felt I couldn’t go on.

My life seemed like one big joke.

That fool actually wanted to piece me back together, bit by bit, and make me the way I used to be.

Hero’s blurb:

I fell in love with her at first sight. I thought about her day and night.

But she already liked someone else.

How wonderful. My patience had paid off. I finally had a chance to get close to her.

At last, I had her.

She’s so adorable. I love her so much.

She found her family. I hope everyone loves her, but she can only love me.

Her family is awful.

I’ll take her home. From now on, she’ll belong to me alone.

I’ll turn her into a little princess.

Nobody else wants her? Perfect. I do!
