Can a Soft Girl Be the Top? [GB]

[One Woman, Four Men] [Female Top, Male Bottom] [Men Dote on Women] [Size Difference] [Age Gap] [Gender Bender]

Jiang Zhi was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Her father was Haizhou's richest man, and her mother was a world-renowned ballet artist. Her family was powerful and wealthy, and her parents adored each other. The daughter of parents who had her late in life, Jiang Zhi also had a brother seven years older than her. He doted on and protected her, and was famous in their circle for being a hopelessly overprotective big brother.

Raised to be pampered from childhood, Jiang Zhi was spoiled and prone to tears. She thought she was the most important person in the world and couldn't stand even the slightest grievance.

But when it came to Lu Tingnian, she kept hitting one wall after another.

-

Lu Tingnian came from a poor family. Both his parents had died, and he managed to finish college only through scholarships and the support of kindhearted benefactors.

After graduating, he built a business from scratch, spending five years establishing himself in Jingzhou. Three years later, his company went public.

Anyone who met him would call him a business prodigy.

Before meeting him, Jiang Zhi imagined he'd be another balding, potbellied businessman, so she wasn't particularly interested.

But when she saw him at a banquet, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

A male model!

Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His suit was immaculate, and his manners impeccable.

When he looked her way, his eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses were calm. He smiled politely, without a trace of eagerness to please.

Most importantly, his chest was huge. It looked like it could burst right through his suit.

She wanted to bury her face in it.

Smitten by his looks, Jiang Zhi racked her brains for chances to run into him and flirted with him again and again, but he remained unmoved.

Even when she gazed at him with tear-filled eyes, all he did was casually wipe away her tears. His rough fingertip brushed her skin until it reddened, and he said in a calm voice, "Stop crying."

His eyes held a quiet understanding, as if he saw through everything.

He carried himself like an elder, aloof and above it all.

So annoying!

She wanted to fuck him.

-

After the college entrance exams, Jiang Zhi was accepted into Jingzhou University. Her parents didn't feel comfortable letting her live alone in Jingzhou, so they asked Lu Tingnian to look after her.

Lu Tingnian hesitated for a moment, then agreed, mindful of the support her family had given him.

She couldn't get used to dorm life and nitpicked the apartments she looked at. With a helpless sigh, and mindful of the support her family had given him, Lu Tingnian brought her to live with him.

She couldn't stomach Jingzhou cuisine and looked listless every day. With a helpless sigh, and mindful of the support her family had given him, Lu Tingnian cooked Haizhou dishes for her himself.

She loved a lively atmosphere and hated an empty house, and she often complained about his long hours. With a helpless sigh, and mindful of the support her family had given him, Lu Tingnian started coming home on time.

Later, she said she was used to sleeping in her own bed, was afraid of thunder, and kept having nightmares. Clutching her pillow, she stood pitifully at the door of his bedroom.

With a helpless sigh, Lu Tingnian led her to his bed.

Just as they were about to cross the final line, he suddenly came to his senses. Shocked, he shoved her away.

Jiang Zhi fell to the floor, her knee turning black and blue in an instant.

Lu Tingnian opened his mouth, then stopped. Jiang Zhi wiped away the tears from her fall and left without a word.

-

The next time he saw her, she had her arm linked with a young man who had nothing going for him except his impressive chest. She was smiling as she cooed at him.

Her face was just as lovely and sweetly charming as ever, but her hand was shamelessly exploring the small of his back.

Lu Tingnian stood rooted to the spot, his eyes dark.

At last, unable to restrain himself, he stopped her in front of everyone.

"Suishui," he stammered, calling her by her pet name. His gaze burned, and his voice was hoarse. "While you were gone, I kept working on my chest. It's big and soft, and it feels better than his."

As he spoke, he took her hand and placed it on his chest, his words carrying a double meaning. "If you like being on top, then be on top."

"Just don't leave me."

"Okay?"

The man who had always stood above everyone in his industry finally bowed his head. His voice was humble as he begged her to show him mercy once more.

Only his eyes betrayed the sticky, consuming possessiveness that seemed ready to imprison her.

[Reader's Guide]

1. The characters have typical male and female anatomy. This is gender-bender romance, but there is explicit sex. The woman is physically weaker and the man stronger (in terms of career and status). He dotes on her. She's a soft, sweet top, and yes, she really is the top.

2. The age gap is 13 years: 19 and 32. It still has the classic but delicious older-man age-insecurity trope, with plenty of boomerang moments. A bittersweet-sweet romance: the male lead gets the angst, and the female lead gets the sweetness, ovo.

3. A fussy, spoiled, soft girl x a proper, steady, old-fashioned man. Both have strong agency, so they'll need plenty of adjustment. The one in power will have a breakdown.

4. At first, she pursues him, attracted by his looks and interested in his body, not his heart. Later, he pursues her. He breaks down, growing jealous, resentful, and insecure, turning into a miserable husband, all moody jealousy and possessiveness. That's the delicious flavor we're here for.

5. Blurb to be revised.

Theme: Love is there all along.
