Foster care trope | The powerful one bows their head | Possessive, coercive romance
[Cold and unfeeling x Living under someone else's roof]
The Yu family of the capital took in a troublesome little girl, but Yu Yingge, the current head of the family, couldn't care less.
Until Old Master Yu brought her before him. "Just call him Uncle."
"Uncle." Her voice was soft, but respectful.
Looking at the girl standing meekly before him, Yu Yingge didn't respond. His manner was indifferent. "I don't have a niece like that."
Rumor had it that the head of the Yu family was ruthless and untouchable, a notorious hardliner among the city's elite.
Shen Diqing was genuinely afraid of him, and for the five years she lived with the Yu family, she went out of her way to avoid him.
Until the old master fell ill and she had no choice but to move into Yu Yingge's home. From then on, the person raising her was the very man she feared most.

Three years later, everyone in high society knew that the head of the Yu family was raising a little tyrant, an untouchable "princess" in their circle.
Plenty of young men tried to win her favor, but she rebuffed every one of them without hesitation.
Only Shen Diqing knew in her heart that there was someone she really liked.
But the warning came before she could confess her feelings.
Yu Yingge understood people too well. He saw right through Shen Diqing's feelings.
"You've gotten quite bold."
"Shen Diqing, look at me." Yu Yingge's voice was calm, but frightening enough.
"Who taught you all this?"
He gave her no room to argue and threw her out of the Yu family.

Later, Shen Diqing chose the second path, leaving the capital for good and going her separate way from Yu Yingge, never to cross paths again.
Just as she finally started a new relationship, Yu Yingge showed up and cornered her in her rented apartment.
Shen Diqing had never seen him like that before: vicious, terrifying, closing in on her step by step.
"Since when could you come and go from my side as you please?"
Yu Yingge expressionlessly snuffed out his cigarette. "Break up with him."
"Or the consequences won't be what you want."
