A Misunderstanding [Stealing Love]

[Older Man/5-Year Age Gap/Love Rivalry/Chasing His Wife/Multiple Suitors/All Kinds of Love Triangles]

Jiang Jue sponsored two children.

He brought them from an orphanage to a wealthy family estate. Under his protection, they had always worshipped him like a god.

He, in turn, played the part of a saint, treating them with warmth and tenderness and looking after them devotedly.

Then, as they gradually grew up, the two "children" started seeing each other behind his back.

Watching Ye Qingcheng laugh sweetly with her head nestled in Lu Yun's arms, watching them talk about everything, watching them secretly kiss when they thought he wasn't looking...

In his twenty-three years of life, Jiang Jue felt his heart go hollow for the first time.

So Jiang Jue sent Lu Yun abroad, forcibly separating the young couple just as they were falling in love.

He even arranged for plenty of girls overseas to approach Lu Yun, hoping to make him forget Ye Qingcheng.

Meanwhile, the innocent, guileless girl was kept by his side.

They hugged, kissed, and made love. Sometimes, Jiang Jue fooled himself into thinking that Ye Qingcheng loved him too.

That illusion lasted until Lu Yun returned from abroad five years later, and Ye Qingcheng, eyes curved in a radiant smile, rushed into his arms and told him how much she had missed him.

Only then did Jiang Jue finally understand: Ye Qingcheng had never loved him.

An illusion was just an illusion.

-

One chaotic night, Jiang Jue pinned Ye Qingcheng to the soaked bedsheets. His long fingers loosely encircled her slender neck, as though he were considering whether to clip his canary's wings.

He asked quietly, "What am I to you?"

Fire burned in the girl's dark eyes as she glared at him like a little beast. "My benefactor! My master!"

But never her lover.

- Male lead Jiang: intensely insecure and afraid of losing what he has, a rotten seed who has done a whole lot of terrible things. A genuine villain.

- The female lead will waver a lot in her feelings. Read with caution, read with caution, read with caution! Don't read this and then turn around and criticize her.

- No choosing sides, both are each other's only sexual partner, but they aren't each other's first love. The female lead's first love is the second male lead.

- A gloomy, unhinged, seemingly innocent but secretly manipulative male lead x a stubborn, aloof female lead who is surprisingly good at acting cute.
