Name: The Reserved Uncle Fell in Love with Me
Author: Monkey Can't Pull Much

Synopsis

[Fake uncle and niece | Raised in his home | Old flames reignited | Groveling redemption | A dignified older man loses control]

Yun Li has always kept a secret: she's been longing for Huo Zheng, the decisive and formidable second uncle of the Huo family.

On the night of her twentieth birthday, Yun Li finally gathers the courage to confess her feelings.

“A Li, you're still young. You don't understand what love is yet.”

Yun Li looks helplessly at Huo Zheng's stern, indifferent expression. Heartbroken, she flees.

Three years later, Yun Li has long since smoothed over the hurt in her heart. Just as Huo Zheng wanted, she treats him only as an elder.

Huo Zheng looks at her polite yet distant smile, his gaze deepening, and accepts the title she calls him: “Second Uncle.”

But no one knows the storm raging beneath Huo Zheng's calm expression.

That day, her fiancé calls tenderly from outside the door, while Huo Zheng dominates her inside.

“He's calling you, A Li. Shall I open the door and let him see?” Huo Zheng gives her a cruel, roguish smile, teasing her as he looks at her.

Yun Li's eyes are filled with shame and pleading. “Second Uncle, you were the one who rejected me back then!”

“Did I reject you?” Huo Zheng's gaze darkens. He grips the girl's chin and fiercely gives vent to all the longing he's kept pent up over the years.

“A Li, I've loved you far longer than you've loved me.”

Looking for Romance Novel Recommendations

Romance novels these days are all bubbly little suns paired with aloof beauties or gloomy villains. So boring. Are there any where both leads have the same personality and love each other while constantly clashing? And can tragic romances be a little fairer? The heroine suffers for 99 chapters while the hero doesn't suffer at all. What kind of story is that? Also, no misogynistic language.
