The Ascetic Buddha-Like Uncle Dotes on His Lost Little Niece

[Capital’s golden-boy heir × forbidden secret love × careful plotting × obsessive devotion × extreme double standards × everyone is jealous] [Powerful capital family × nine-year age gap × secret love turned real × forbidden tension × careful plotting] Xie Yanli, head of the Xie family and the capital’s golden-boy heir, is cold and aloof, fastidious and taciturn, and keeps everyone at arm’s length. Lu Zhimei has called him Uncle for over a decade. Everyone says she’s lucky to have the Xie family to rely on. But no one knows That the man who never lets anyone get close will tuck her in late at night; that the impeccable heir to the Xie family loses all reason when she gets into trouble. After he was injured and his fever wouldn’t break, the first thing he did when he woke the next morning was instinctively reach out to stroke her head and rasp, “Don’t be afraid.” Her eyes stung with tears, but he had already withdrawn his hand, returning to his usual indifferent self. No one knows how long he has hidden that trace of amusement in his eyes whenever he looks at her. And no one knows what he has been scheming toward, step by step, all these years.
