[Ruthless villainous kingpin | intense push and pull early on | forced love | coercive possession | power imbalance | eight-year age gap | both leads inexperienced]
Qiao Ruoqi and her mother moved to Thailand after her mother remarried, and had been there for five years. On the surface, she was sweet and innocent. Deep down, she was clear-headed and resilient.
She knew her stepfather, a man with a kindly face and a black heart, wanted to use her as a bargaining chip. She pretended to be clueless while looking for an opportunity.
Then, on a stormy night thick with blood, she saw a cold, ruthless man executing a traitor.
Only later did she learn that even her stepfather feared him. He was the top predator in both the legal and criminal worlds of the region: Long Helan.
He was both her way out and her doom.
Qiao Ruoqi didn't come home all night.
Her phone was unreachable, and no one could find her.
The next day, she opened the door to find Long Helan sitting in the living room.
The ashtray was full. He had waited all night.
“Where were you?”
“...Celebrating a friend's birthday.”
“Your boyfriend?”
“...Yeah.”
“Qiao Ruoqi.”
The air in the entire room turned heavy.
“I’m no philanthropist.”
“After saving you so many times...” The man's gaze was dark. “I deserve to get something in return.”
Before Qiao Ruoqi could respond, the door swung open. Someone was thrown at her feet.
Long Helan leaned back against the sofa, his tone flat. “I won’t force you. But his life is in your hands.”
Very good🤤🤤🤤
