I Rescued That Brooding Boy from Miaojiang, and Now He Spoils Me Rotten!

(Complete) A reclusive, lovesick eagle trainer from a Miao village x a beautiful, warm-hearted ray-of-sunshine heroine

(Devoted couple + healing + subtle fantasy + sweet romance + pure love)

The day before Wen Nuan was to be claimed by the wealthy Li family, she was kidnapped. On the way, a young man from the Great Miao Mountains rescued her.

The youth was mysterious and reclusive, cold and ruthless, yet so handsome and striking he resembled a peerless elf of the night.

To her surprise, he took Wen Nuan home with him the very first time they met.

At first, Wen Nuan was terrified of him because of the brutal way he killed people.

Later, the youth took her on mountain patrols, hunting trips, and eagle training sessions, and taught her to identify medicinal herbs… She taught him Chinese, flew kites with him, stood up for him in the village, and told him bedtime stories when he was afraid of his Gu poison acting up and keeping him awake…

The first words spoken by the naturally reclusive youth, who had never been able to speak, were her name.

“Nuan, Nuan…”

His voice was tender, his smile faint, and his eyes soft and captivating.

Unbeknownst to her, every night the youth looked at her with eyes as dark as fire, brimming with a desperate longing and restraint so intense it could hardly be contained.

His desire to keep her here forever grew stronger and stronger.

If only she could belong to him alone.

And so, before he had even learned what love was, the reclusive, shadowed boy learned to possess, trying to secretly hide away that radiant sun and make her his alone.

“Nuan… Nuan… don’t go…”

“Stay… here… please…”

He had lived his whole life in darkness, until one day a ray of bright light entered it, and color finally flooded his gray world.
