No Crossing the Capital Nights

[Hunting game + sweet, alluring beauty who acts obedient and helpless + scheming, affection-starved male lead + heroine pursues him + clear-headed male lead falls hard] Jiang Sui, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was a delicate flower raised and cherished by her family. A long-planned upheaval crushed everything she had. Her parents died, her brother's fate was unknown, and her legs were broken. Two years of confinement nourished her hatred and helped it grow. Before her grandfather died, he called in an old favor to secure her one last safeguard. Fu Xiao. The Fu family's heir, who controlled half the capital, was immensely powerful, cold-hearted, and shrewd. To stay alive and secure his long-term protection, Jiang Sui played sweet and helpless, carefully plotting each step. She wasn't a skilled hunter, but he walked right into her trap. At first, Fu Xiao thought it was all a game. He'd agreed to protect this woman for three months, so he might as well enjoy himself. When Jiang Sui flirted with him, he lifted her chin. "Tsk. Miss Jiang, after pretending for so long, it turns out you just want to sleep with me." "Too bad you're not quite there yet. Why don't you try a little harder?" He teased her as if she were a pet, only to end up getting carried away himself. Fu Xiao couldn't remember when he fell for her. Maybe it was the stubborn determination in her eyes that night when she took his hand. Maybe it was the tenderness with which she soothed him to sleep. Or maybe it was the words she spoke at the end of countless nightmares: "Big brother, would you like some candy?"
