After I Accidentally Flirted with My Best Friend's Uncle, the Chaste Family Head Spoiled Me Rotten

[Fated Sweet Romance + Identity Reveal Showdown + Strong Female Lead's Comeback + Height Difference + Suzhou Embroidery Intangible Cultural Heritage]

Wen Ci always thought Xie Wangyan was an ascetic Buddha perched atop an altar. That was until the night of the family banquet, when he cornered her in the shadows beneath a rockery. His warm breath crept over her earlobe, inch by inch. "Call me Uncle? Miss Wen, that wasn't the kind of relationship you had in mind when you unbuttoned the third button of my shirt in the tea room."

She retreated, he advanced. She hid, and he hunted her down with a net that left no escape. In public, she was a reserved, introverted, impoverished top student, while he was the decisive head of the Xie family. In private, beneath the blinds in the teachers' lounge, his rough fingertips stroked the back of her pale neck as he forced her to accept one unlimited black card after another.

Everyone thought Wen Ci was nothing but the head of the Xie family's canary, ready to be discarded at any moment.

Then her traditional double-sided embroidery stunned the judges at an intangible cultural heritage review, and the injustice surrounding her mother's case, concealed for ten years, was brought to light. Only then did everyone realize that the agarwood Buddhist prayer beads Xie Wangyan had worn on his left wrist for ten years had always held a safety charm Wen Ci embroidered by hand when she was a child.
