[One heroine] [Sweet romance] [Alternate setting, not reborn, revenge]
The Xiao family, the wealthiest and most powerful clan in the land, was wiped out. Only Xiao Linyuan, a ten-year-old prodigy, survived.
Ten years later, he returned after growing stronger in the cruelest place in the world and set out on the path of revenge.
Having seen through the ways of the world, he planned to take his revenge, find the little girl who had saved him all those years ago and repay her, and then… But meeting her again sooner than expected threw his plans into disarray.
He never expected the sweet, adorable girl to be so direct.
“Big Brother, I… I like you. W-would you be my boyfriend?”
The girl gazed at him with shy, sparkling eyes, waiting eagerly for his answer.
Xiao Linyuan had meant to turn her down gently, but he couldn’t bear to see her on the verge of tears at the thought of rejection, so he said yes.
So be it. Having that relationship would make it easier to protect her. Besides, she was still young. Once she understood what love really meant, they would naturally go their separate ways.
But little by little, he realized that things had completely spiraled out of control. The girl was clingy and adorable, and her love for him was passionate and direct. Calling her lovesick wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
She was a ray of sunshine, gradually healing the black-and-white world inside him.
From then on, he had a reason to care about the world. He no longer lived only for revenge.
Later, the girl asked Xiao Linyuan, “Big Brother, did you fall in love with me at first sight, too?”
Xiao Linyuan froze.
Love at first sight?
Well, yes. That was exactly what had happened.
