Celibate? The Protective Uncle Has Fallen Head Over Heels

[Powerful Man Bows His Head + Seven-Year Age Gap + Deliberate Seduction + Mutual First Love + Sweet Romance + Groveling to Win Her Back]

After a car accident, Jiang Ni transmigrates into a book as a doomed cannon-fodder heroine.

In the original story, her fiancé and her hypocritical cousin join forces to betray her. They seize her family fortune and ruin her reputation, until she is drowned in a pond on a rainy night and dies with her name unjustly besmirched. The once-mighty Jiang Group also falls into ruin.

Given a second chance at life, Jiang Ni sets her sights on Lu Hanzheng, the most powerful man in the city, whom no one dares to cross. She needs to stay alive, protect her family’s business, and reclaim her inheritance.

To avenge herself and stay safe, Jiang Ni deliberately plays vulnerable and flirts with him, acting sweet and wronged as she approaches him with a soft, docile charm, carefully scheming at every step to win his protection.

Everyone mocks her as a schemer who ingratiates herself with him solely for power, using him for her own ends.

He sees through every lie and scheme. He knows she approached him with an agenda, yet willingly falls for her and lets her wrap him around her finger.

He fears his burning love will hurt her, and fears even more that once she has her revenge, she will walk away and leave him behind. Restrained and patient, he never dares cross the line. In public, he is aloof and distant, perched high above everyone else.

But when night falls, he falls apart completely for the young woman in his arms.

He fears his passion and possessiveness will hurt her while she is still so young;

he fears even more that once she gets what she wants, she will walk away and never want him again.

“Ni’er, it’s all right if you lie to me, or use me…”

“It’s all right if you don’t love me, either.”

“Just don’t leave me.”
