Spoiling the Sweet Little Darling

[Forced love + college campus + a little enemies-to-lovers tension + the powerful one bows his head + both are inexperienced]

[Spoiled, bright, and stubborn vs. scheming, cold, fierce, and proud]

Xie Raoyu once bullied a boy,

recklessly doing as she pleased in a shabby little inn at the end of an old street in Qingzhou.

She took his innocence and trampled on his dignity.

Later, the Xie family fell into ruin. She went to study in Jingzhou, while her parents fled overseas to escape their enemies.

She, too, became much more reserved.

Sometimes she thought of her reckless younger self, and in the middle of the night, the boy would come back to her in dreams.

She thought she owed him an apology.

But when Lu Cong came looking for her in person, Xie Raoyu wanted to run.

He was no longer the quiet, thin boy he had once been, and he would never again give anyone the chance to bully him.

In that same little inn, he grasped her smooth ankle in one hand, his eyes cold.

“Why run? Did you never think that one day you’d end up in my hands?”

Xie Raoyu couldn’t escape.

She apologized and begged, asking through red-rimmed eyes what it would take for him to forgive her.

Lu Cong smiled with interest. “Be with me. I’ll do to you everything you did to me.”

“When I get tired of you, you can get lost.”

Lu Cong was a man of fierce pride who would rather break than bend.

But in that shabby room, the stubborn girl crushed his iron will to pieces.

He hated her. He thought he would hate her for the rest of his life.

Until one day, Xie Raoyu resolved to leave. Her eyes were red.

“I’m already this miserable, and you still won’t let me go?”

But somehow, Lu Cong looked even more desperate than she did.

“You don’t want me again, do you?”

Who was more miserable?

The most pitiful one was clearly him, about to be abandoned by Raoyu all over again.

I don’t want to forgive you, but I want so badly for us to have a home together.
