Tenderness Is the Cure for Obsession

[She pampers him] + [He pampers her] + [Healing] + [Pseudo-forced romance] + [Pseudo-substitute] + [Rekindled love]

Both leads are virgins. Sweet and angsty, with a happy ending.

Warm, clear-eyed Lin Xinan and the beautiful, strong, tragic Chen Qingyan.

Confronted with their difference in status, one a college junior and the other the CEO of C.E.,

To love someone is to love all of them, and to believe in them too.

Chen Qingyan’s maternal half-brother also falls for Lin Xinan, and his mother once again uses every means at her disposal to help her older son and break them apart.

His childhood friend Tian Yuxi returns from abroad. She was the only person who showed Chen Qingyan kindness when he was young.

One misunderstanding after another.

“Ayan, am I her substitute?”

They fight back with all they have, leave everything behind, and start over together overseas.

But Lin Xinan leaves him behind when he has fallen on hard times.

When they meet again, they are strangers.

One night, he pins her to the bed, lifts her chin with a fingertip, and asks softly, “Do you remember what I told you?”

She trembles with pain. “If I dare to leave, you’ll... you’ll break my legs...”
