He Said He'd Only Be My Uncle, Then Locked Me into Marriage

[Domineering pursuit + groveling to win her back + age gap + a manipulative madman + an older man with overwhelming sexual tension and a possessive streak that reveals a surprising side] [Well-behaved on the surface but rebellious underneath x her obsessive, unstable, controlling younger uncle] A rekindled romance? No, the hunt is starting all over again. Years later, when Shen Yi meets Gu Yanzhi again, she smiles at him with alluring charm. “Mr. Gu, long time no see.” But the man locks the door behind him and pins her against the wall, his breath burning hot. “We’ve slept together. Does that count as knowing each other?” Everyone says the Gu family’s younger uncle is cold and abstinent. Only Shen Yi knows... how he grips her waist in the dead of night and makes her call him something else, over and over. “Who are you calling Uncle?” He kisses the most sensitive spot on her neck, his voice hoarse. “Get it wrong once, and you’ll stay another night.” She ran for three years. He searched for three years. Their reunion isn’t a coincidence. It’s a net he carefully wove for her. When Shen Yi is trapped in his arms again, trembling, she finally understands: Some relationships are destined to be impossible to escape for a lifetime, beginning the night he first pinned her wrist. The rose he raised with his own hands can bloom only in his palm. Every escape is just part of the game. In the end, her only home is in his arms. Content warnings: Domineering pursuit + pseudo-taboo romance + groveling to win her back The male lead is unstable and intensely controlling; the female lead seems docile but is rebellious underneath Extreme romantic tension, with both sweet moments and heartbreak
