Period setting, melodrama, groveling chase, raising a child, younger man.
A cozy life raising a child in the early chapters, followed by a Hong Kong-style tale of love and hate.
Blurb:
An unexpected nephew disrupts Xu Che’s stable life.
Xu Che thinks he’ll just look after him for one summer, but his little nephew clings to him and refuses to leave.
Little by little, Xu Che raises the malnourished, scrawny child into a tall, sturdy young man.
On a sweltering night, the young wolf bares his fangs and easily pins Xu Che beneath him, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Uncle, you smell so good.”
Xu Che regrets it just before losing consciousness. He raised him all this way, only to end up suffering the consequences himself.
But he regrets even more having been so good to Shao Yang, only for it to end with Shao Yang using him and tossing him aside, leaving him nearly broken.
A wolfish younger man raised by the protagonist x a cool-headed, intelligent husband
The wolfish younger man is gloomy and insecure early on, then becomes an obsessive, deranged type later. He has to grovel to win his love back.
P.S. They are not related by blood. He is only his uncle in name; the older sister was adopted.
Theme: Love is willingly being tamed and possessed.
