The Sweetheart Plays Nice, and Her Mad Uncle Is Hooked

[Forced Love] [The Powerful One Bows His Head] [Seven-Year Age Gap] [Mutual Firsts] [Sweet Romance]

[Deceptively Sweet × Truly Unhinged]

On the first day Cen Jinyi arrived at the Huo family home, she was terrified of her cold-faced uncle, Huo Xiuyan.

He stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at her coolly. His presence was so formidable that her legs instantly went weak and began to tremble. She barely dared to breathe.

After that, she avoided him at every turn, relying wholeheartedly on her boyfriend and hoping only to get through her days as a dependent in someone else's home in peace.

She never dared to provoke Huo Xiuyan, much less imagine that this cold, unfeeling man would spare her a second glance.

But her peaceful romance shattered without warning.

Her boyfriend cheated. Overcome with hurt, she fell apart, alone, weeping with red-rimmed eyes.

When she was at her lowest, only Huo Xiuyan came to her.

His long, elegant fingers gently brushed the unruly strands of hair away from her cheek.

"Why are you crying? You won't have to cry anymore."

Cen Jinyi thought he was pitying her, showing her the kindness of an elder.

She didn't know...

From the moment their eyes met on the stairs,

he had been waiting for a chance to make her completely his.

Huo Xiuyan had always been detached and indifferent, with little interest in anything.

Except when it came to Cen Jinyi.

On her first day in the Huo household, the young woman stood in the entryway. One look from him made her legs tremble, and she didn't even dare breathe too loudly.

Timid, pure, and soft as a little bundle.

She stirred a restlessness and possessiveness in him unlike anything he had ever felt.

He watched her with cool eyes, betraying nothing.

Later, he learned that Cen Jinyi had a boyfriend.

Huo Xiuyan merely lowered his eyes, a cold, ruthless smile settling over them.

All he had to do was get rid of the person in his way.
