The Mad Huo Lord's Captive: The Little Crybaby He Spoiled Into Ruin

[Obsessive, possessive love + forced devotion + bittersweet romance]

Everyone fears Huo Zhi, the gloomy, unhinged madman. Only Nan Sheng is the exception he holds in the palm of his hand.

He lavishes her with extravagant affection, piling up gold, jewelry, and accessories for her to choose from, along with luxury cars and designer bags. But he also cuts off every possible escape route.

Nan Sheng has tried to run, but every time he catches her and brings her back, Huo Zhi kisses the tear tracks on her cheeks, his eyes red, tender yet obsessive. "Be good. Don't run away. The outside world is too filthy. Stay by my side, and I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."

As the days pass, she goes from hysterical resistance to unconsciously relying on him for everything.

When Nan Sheng realizes that no matter what happens, Huo Zhi is the first person who comes to mind,

she finally understands: without even noticing, she's fallen into his cage.

Huo Zhi simply pulls her into his arms, stroking the crown of her head with his fingertips. His voice is lazy and dangerous. "It's better to spoil you rotten. That way, you'll never be able to leave me."
