    1 "Uncle…you're not my arranged marriage partner!" On the day Jiang Li regained her sight, she looked at the 189cm tall, rugged man with hard, cold muscles who had cornered her in her rented room, and her eyes reddened. Xiang Ye grabbed her waist and kissed her fiercely, his eyes surging with a mad possessiveness: "What's the difference between marrying into the Xiang family and me?" After being blind for two years, he gave her a pipa, carried her through muddy roads, and by day he was the cold and ruthless CEO of a powerful corporation, but by night he was a rugged man who doted on her to the bone. This forced favoritism that began with a misunderstanding ultimately made the obedient little blind girl unable to escape, and unwilling to escape either ❤️ 2 Who understands! The rugged uncle's forced love is so sweet it's sickening! After Jiang Li lost her sight, she mistook Xiang Ye for a young master she was to be married off to, and he coaxed and tricked her into coming home. He loves boxing and visiting car repair shops, his palms calloused yet he carefully tuned her instrument; he has an intimidating aura, but when she's afraid of the dark, he wraps her in his arms and soothes her with a hoarse voice: "I'm here." It wasn't until she regained her sight that she discovered the "little brother" she'd been clinging to for two years was actually a rough-looking uncle nine years her senior! But Xiang Ye, his eyes red with tears, already held her tightly in his arms: "You can't escape me now, you've always been mine." A story of virginity, physical differences, and redemption—the rough man's tenderness is reserved only for the little blind girl! 3. Blind Jiang Li thought she was going to marry the young master of the Xiang family, but was suddenly kidnapped by a rough-looking man. Xiang Ye, with the roguish charm honed over ten years, protected the obedient and strong-willed little blind girl under his wing: when she couldn't find her cane, he bent down to pick it up; when she was afraid of thunder, he stayed by her bedside all night; when she missed the pipa, he immediately found the best instrument. But the moment she regained her sight, she was stunned—this 189cm tall, ruggedly masculine CEO was actually the man she should call "uncle"! After being caught while trying to escape, he kissed her forehead until she cried, burning with jealousy: "You think you can escape? From the day you moved into the Xiang family, you could only be mine." With a 9-year age gap, sweet flirting, and forced love, I could read this rough-and-tumble man's doting husband novel ten times! Want me to help you extract the key highlights from the synopsis (like "rough-and-tumble man's redemption" and "blindness misunderstanding") into tags so they can be used with the novel cover?
