Off the Rails

Childhood friends | Possessive love | Size difference | Reconciliation

1.

When Shu Ran was three, Song Hengxu moved into the Shu family home.

From then on, she had a childhood friend and older brother everyone envied.

The young man was cool and reserved, brilliant in every way, and had countless admirers. He was every bit the favored child of heaven.

No matter how spoiled and mischievous she was, Song Hengxu always indulged her and took care of everything. There wasn't a single flaw to be found in him.

Then he learned about her brief relationship, which had ended before it had even begun, and Song Hengxu started acting strangely.

"Don't talk to strangers."

"Don't date anyone else."

"Come home every night."

2.

On the night she had dressed up carefully to go out with her friends, Shu Ran stood them up.

When she woke with heavy eyelids, she found herself in Song Hengxu's room.

Eerie moonlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, casting a deep shadow over Song Hengxu's face.

He sat on the edge of the bed, his usually gentle, composed amber eyes churning with unfamiliar emotions.

All traces of sleep vanished. Shu Ran called out, "Brother..."

"I'm here," Song Hengxu murmured. He bent close, gently licking her earlobe, his voice as tender as ever. "Ranran, don't go anywhere."

From then on, their boundaries crumbled, and their days and nights descended into an unending debauchery.

3.

When Shu Ran realized that Song Hengxu's usual gentleness and composure were all an act, she was so frightened that she packed her bags and fled overseas in the middle of the night.

On a sunny day, Shu Ran was strolling down a tree-lined campus avenue with her friends when Song Hengxu suddenly appeared before her.

One of her friends asked curiously, "Your boyfriend?"

"N-no," Shu Ran stammered, feeling her scalp go numb. "He's my brother..."

"Yes, good girl. You said you'd marry your brother when you grew up."

Song Hengxu replied softly, his refined features wearing a cool smile.

"Let's go get our marriage license right now."

Refined, cold-hearted man x unruly girl

"My wife is still young and innocent, and can't resist temptation. These ignorant fools keep flocking to her side. That's fine. They'll soon find out what happens when they set their sights on another man's wife."

[Reading Guide]

1. SC. The heroine's boyfriend is a disposable character who gets written out right at the start.

2. As the blurb shows, the male lead is no good. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, extremely possessive, and an obsessive sister-con, but his heart and body belong to the heroine alone.

3. The heroine is a sweet, gentle girl. Readers who prefer ambitious, career-driven female leads should proceed with caution.

4. The setting is fictional, with original worldbuilding. Please don't compare it to real life.

Theme: Be brave enough to say you love someone.
