No Sweets for Naughty Kids

[Temptation + younger man/older woman + dark and obsessive + forced love + long-laid plans + both devoted only to each other + happy ending]

[Bright, charming tutor with a salty-sweet edge vs. brooding, scheming PhD from a top university]

Fifteen years ago, Jiang Zhao and Pei Yanqi became a family when their parents remarried.

Jiang Zhao had always treated Pei Yanqi like a younger brother, never realizing that he wanted her all to himself.

Jiang Zhao had never had a proper relationship. Not until she was twenty-five could she finally go on a matchmaking date and start a sweet romance, only for Pei Yanqi to ruin her chances once again.

Jiang Zhao grew to dislike him more and more, until she began to hate him.

She couldn't understand why Pei Yanqi went to such lengths to keep her from finding happiness. She even cried and begged him to leave her alone.

But Pei Yanqi pinched her face and gazed into her almond-shaped eyes, wet with tears. “Sis, if you're so eager to date, why not date me?”

Only then did Jiang Zhao understand that he wasn't merely pretending to be obsessive. He was genuinely unhinged.

After nightfall, he repeatedly coaxed her to his side. He pinned Jiang Zhao's wrists against the headboard, taking her by force yet holding himself back. “Jiang Zhao, I don't want to be your little brother. I want to be the one beside you in bed, and I also want to be...”

He fell silent, then covered her lips with a kiss.

“You.”
