[Possessive love × powerful man brought to his knees × both leads are inexperienced × sweet with a little angst × secret marriage and captivity × winning her back × heroine’s growth and awakening]
[Domineering, obsessive tech CEO × gentle, insecure orphaned designer]
From the day Ding Xuefu and Gu Tianze fell in love, she knew how far apart they were.
She was the “bastard” and “orphan” everyone talked about, the daughter of a bar hostess. Her mother killed herself when she was nine for the sake of a biological father she had never met. Her beauty was no advantage. Instead, it became a weapon that malicious people wielded behind her back...
Gu Tianze was like a star in the sky, beyond her reach: a scion of a wealthy family, adored by everyone, a tech prodigy... the embodiment of everything wonderful.
Gu Tianze gave her the most attentive and tender love, as though it were a gift from heaven to make up for the hardships she had endured over the past twenty years, filling every void in her life. She was used to being the one who made herself small. She loved him, obeyed him, and trusted him. She followed his arrangements, falling in love, taking a leave of absence from school, and marrying him in secret. But things gradually spiraled out of control. He kept her locked away in his mansion and never mentioned her in public...
He said the sweetest things but did the cruelest things. He coldly took away her phone and ID, forbade her from leaving the house without his permission, installed cameras in the bedroom, and restricted her internet access...
It took Ding Xuefu a while to realize that her life had gone wrong. She had to break out of this cage and free herself from his chains.
Gu Tianze: “Baby, let me take care of you for the rest of my life... Please... don’t leave me like this...”
