[Eight-year age gap + love at first sight + mixed-race hero + size difference + living-under-the-same-roof trope]
[Gorgeous little temptress who gets away with murder × apex predator]
Yun Li, heiress to the Yun family of Hong Kong, flew to Beijing for graduate school. On her first night there, she flirted with a handsome, abstinent mixed-race man at an exclusive nightclub.
Leaning against his shoulder, she called him “big brother.” He gripped her chin coldly. “You're twenty? You've certainly got some nerve.”
The next day, in her best friend's living room, the man she'd straddled and teased was strolling down from the third floor, slowly undoing his cuff links.
Her best friend said, “Li Li, this is my uncle, who's just returned from abroad.”
The man's gray-blue eyes held a teasing smile. “Last night I was ‘big brother,’ and today I'm ‘uncle’?”
Yun Li's knees nearly gave out on the spot.
Worse, her parents had handed him full control of her credit cards. A ten o'clock curfew, no nightclubs, and weekly checks on her coursework. He was practically her father.
When she talked back, he made her copy the rules in his study. His long fingers closed around her hand from behind, his heated chest pressed against her back as he traced the character for “good” across her palm, stroke by stroke.
His low voice brushed her ear. “If there's a next time, I'll write it somewhere else.”
Just as Yun Li thought she'd managed to win over this aloof, untouchable man, she suddenly realized his possessiveness had reached suffocating levels.
She could no longer stand his habit of playing daddy to her even outside the bedroom!
She bought a plane ticket that very night, hoping to flee back to Hong Kong. Just before takeoff, however, the airport terminal was sealed off by a cordon of black-clad bodyguards.
The high-and-mighty head of the He family pinned her firmly in a corner, his eyes bloodshot, one hand gripping her slender waist. His voice was hoarse and disturbingly feverish.
“Good girl, Li Li. Where are you going? Did Uncle say you could?”
The book is very nice, and the characters are delicious. I hope it won't be abused later. I think you can change the cover to another one? 🤔
