Strong heroine | devoted hero | younger man | long-planned pursuit | intense push and pull |
A few warnings upfront: the heroine isn't chaste, but the hero is; the business rivalry has no logic and exists only to serve the romance.
Seven years ago, she rescued an orphan from a landslide.
Seven years later, he put a collar around his own life and knelt before her.
Excerpt 1:
After moving into her home, he began testing the waters, one careful step at a time.
Week one: learn her habits.
Week two: stand in the kitchen she passes through every morning, wearing nothing but an apron that shows off his firm waist and abs.
Leaning against the doorframe, she watched him with amusement in her eyes.
“Nice abs. Next time, you can skip the apron.”
Excerpt 2:
At a top-tier Jin City banquet, someone publicly mocked him as a pretty boy and called the necklace around his neck a dog tag.
She walked over and took his hand in front of everyone, shielding him behind her.
“Who gave you the right to talk about my man?”
That night, Shen An knelt before her and buried his face against her knees.
“Big Sister, can I be your dog?”
She looked down at him, her red lips curling into a smile.
“Didn't I put a collar on you ages ago?”
Later, he took a knife for her, and she stood guard outside his room for three days and nights.
Later still, he knelt on one knee before her, holding a bouquet.
“Big Sister, can I marry you?”
