On what seemed like an ordinary day, an elegant, distinguished man appeared before her. With a gentle smile, he told her he was her brother-in-law, and that before her sister passed away, she had entrusted her to his care.
Meng Chanqing treated Gu Hua with utmost consideration. Whenever she fell ill, he would put work aside to stay with her, and made sure she had the very best of everything.
Gu Hua asked him why he treated her so well. Meng Chanqing merely smiled and ruffled her hair, his voice warm and indulgent. "Your sister asked me to take good care of you."
But the places he oversaw, the ways he cared for her... it was all far too much. He even arranged her marriage without regard for what she wanted!
"Are you going to interfere if I get a boyfriend, too?"
"What gives you the right to control me?"
Gu Hua was as cold as ice, her words sharp and cutting. She was furious with the man who meddled in the most important decision of her life!
He treated her with a tenderness that crossed every boundary, yet he was in such a hurry to marry her off to another man!
She stubbornly refused to obey, so he locked her up.
The iron door to the basement closed heavily behind her.
Gu Hua curled up in a corner, staring at a painting on the wall she'd never seen before. It depicted a girl whose features and expression looked just like hers.
The date on it was six years ago.
That year, her sister was still alive.
She had never even met him!
Cold, aloof, obsessive beauty with a fragile, sickly edge x gentle, easygoing guardian figure
A battle of taming and resisting being tamed
Reader advisory:
1. The male lead is gentle, exceptionally even-tempered, and good at concealing his feelings, but has a hidden, powerful desire to control the female lead. The female lead is genuinely cold, not a sweet, innocent flower. Obsession is at her core, and she loves and hates with extremes and intensity.
2. The female lead's secret crush unfolds in the first part. As the story progresses, their entanglement becomes almost pathological. A brief second-chance romance arc comes later.
3. No substitute lovers or unattainable first loves. The leads put each other first, with an absolutely exclusive pairing and a mutual secret crush. They're both doting and at odds, with a deeply painful romance, a five-year age gap, and a happy ending.
4. The text may be lightly revised from time to time. The version published on Jinjiang is the definitive one.
