Unable to Let Go [Possessive Love]

[Both are gravely ill, and each is the other's lifesaving remedy]

Soft-hearted heroine with an unyielding spirit VS devoted, formidable hero with a meticulous mind

Synopsis:

"Word has it that Qin Ye, heir to the Qin family of Hong Kong, will hold an engagement ceremony next month with Ji Xia Qiu, the only daughter of the Ji family..."

Yu Leqi stared at the headline, unable to believe it. The man in the news was right there, asleep beside her.

Below it was another related report: "Qin family's eldest son and Miss Yu are dating sweetly, embracing passionately without a care for others' eyes."

Her fingers trembling, Yu Leqi tapped it open. The woman in the photo had exactly the same face as hers.

Wasn't she an orphan who fell in love with Qin Ye at university and had stayed home since graduation, never taking a job?

What was this about being a Miss Yu and helping run the family business?

She wanted to wake Qin Ye and ask him, but her outstretched hand froze in midair. He had been the one to gently care for her ever since she lost her memory, yet at that moment, his face seemed to twist into something terrifying.

Leqi sat on the sofa, her mind in turmoil. Qin Ye sat beside her and affectionately pulled her into his arms. "You still haven't got your memory back. Don't go wandering off. Stay home and wait for me, all right?"

Leqi nodded, and he kissed her cheek.

As soon as Qin Ye left, she searched the whole house for clues. But nothing seemed out of place. This was unmistakably the love nest of a young couple.

At last, Leqi found a phone at the very back of the wardrobe.

Everything became clear.

"Miss Yu, you're so beautiful. How about we become friends?"

"I'll be frank. I like you. Be with me."

"I always get what I want. Sooner or later, you'll be mine."

"You're mine. I'll never let you go, not in this lifetime."

Just as she trembled with pain and fear and sank to the floor, a pair of arms locked around her from behind. Qin Ye's voice sounded: "Look at you, being so disobedient. Wouldn't it be better if we just lived happily together for the rest of our lives?"

After a great deal of effort, Leqi escaped to an unfamiliar city, thinking she was finally free of Qin Ye and could start a new life. But he appeared at her doorstep again.

"Baby, I haven't let go yet. Why did you run away?"

"We're destined to be entangled for the rest of our lives. Don't think you can cut ties with me."

Content warnings:

Absolutely monogamous, happy ending. Neither the heroine nor the hero has a romantic storyline with any supporting character.

The author isn't sure whether the bonus chapters should go at the beginning, but they were finished before the main story, so the plan is to post them first during serialization. (Readers who don't like that can criticize me. Blame Qin Ye, not the author. Haha, just kidding.)

When it comes to love, Qin Ye isn't a good person in the traditional sense. What he does to Leqi at first is awful, to the point that he hardly deserves to be called human (pointing at him and jabbing him in the spine). But! Pay attention to that but! If Leqi weren't pursued so relentlessly, she would never choose to be with anyone. She needs someone like Qin Ye to close in on her so she will stop retreating. (This isn't an attempt to excuse Qin Ye, just an explanation for why the two get a happy ending.) As mentioned earlier, they're both ill, and each is the other's remedy.

No character's values represent the author's. Please don't read anything into them.

One supporting character is a male chauvinist, but he doesn't get to decide anything. He's old, so let him keep his backward, rotten ideas.

The bonus chapters are simply another possibility on a different timeline. The characters' essential nature remains unchanged.

The novel was originally scheduled to open in late April. The full manuscript is being prepared, with daily updates during serialization, so the author guarantees it won't be abandoned. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites. Thank you so much.

It was originally scheduled to open in late April, but the full manuscript wasn't ready. Three chapters are being posted first as a preview. Official serialization will begin in late May.
