Be Good and Let Me Tie You Up

Title: Trapping My Sweetheart: Mr. Zhou Has Been Plotting This for Years [Powerful, calculating old fox from Beijing's elite circles × demure in public, rebellious in private] [Marriage first, love later | Age gap | Sweet romance, no angst | Both virgins | Older man | Powerful man | Old flames reignited] Everyone in Beijing's elite circles knew Zhou Weili was famous for restraint and propriety. Always buttoned up to the very top in his Sun Yat-sen suit, he was cool and aloof, seemingly born to live by the rules. Everyone bet he would be a bachelor for life. Little did they know, this old fox had long been sharpening his claws in secret. Chu Xiao was the well-behaved girl everyone in high society approved of: gentle and serene in public, but behind closed doors... When a scumbag tried to set her up, she neither cried nor made a scene. Instead, she posted a high-definition video on the university forum and tore him to shreds. Her unhinged side was impossible to hide. She thought she'd sworn off love for good and could focus on her career. But just as she escaped one wolf's den, she walked straight into a tiger's lair. At a matchmaking dinner, trying to placate her family, she boldly suggested, “Mr. Zhou, since we know each other so well, why don't we get married?” She thought this top power player in Beijing's elite circles would frown and refuse, or simply get up and leave. Instead, the man set down his teacup with unhurried ease, a glint of triumph flashing behind his gold-rimmed glasses. “Fine. As you wish.” On the night they got their marriage license, Chu Xiao watched the man rumored to be “chaste and virtuous” advance toward her step by step, and finally realized she'd fallen into a carefully woven trap.
