Locked Away in Her Beauty: The Mad Minister Took Her by Force

[Possessive Pursuit + Growing-Up Romance + Aloof Male Lead + Cunning, Alluring Female Lead + Mutual Firsts]

Everyone says Xie Yanqing, the eldest legitimate son of the Xie family, is the very picture of nobility and grace, as refined as an orchid and elegant as a jade tree. Only Su Wanwan knows the madness and obsession hidden beneath his gentle, jade-like exterior.

After her parents died, the Su family drove her out, leaving her with nowhere to turn. Defying his stepmother, Xie Yanqing insisted on taking her in as his sworn younger sister and keeping her at the Xie residence. For a time, she was deeply grateful and held him in the highest regard.

After someone drugged Xie Yanqing, he accidentally took her innocence. He wanted to protect her for the rest of her life, but she was determined to flee from him with her childhood sweetheart. When she steeled herself, she faked her own death.

He dug up her grave with his own hands and lay beside her in the cemetery for seven days and seven nights, nearly taking his own life to follow her. Then he unexpectedly discovered that she had been living carefree in a small border town, almost having forgotten him.

He gripped her slender, pale neck, his eyes bloodshot and filled with crazed obsession. “Did you really think I was dead?”

-

He waited beneath the city gate for ages. When he finally saw her, he could only mumble softly, “I’ve been waiting here since early this morning.”

“Who asked you to wait?” she snapped impatiently.

His heart sank, and he followed close behind her, step for step.

A big dog who willingly keeps his claws sheathed for love!!!
