Slowly Claiming You

| Love at first sight | The male lead grows more scheming by the day | A calculated campaign to win her heart | Sweet romance | Wen Qing is a sweet, soft-spoken intern at a subsidiary of Jiasheng. She's gentle, obedient, and adorable. Xiao Jinghe is the CEO of Jiasheng Group, a famously cold and ruthless business tycoon. He's taciturn, sharp, and merciless. The two had never crossed paths. Until one day, when Wen Qing was being hassled at a bar and Xiao Jinghe stepped in to help. She was stunned. She'd never seen a man so handsome. That night, emboldened by alcohol, she added him on WeChat and decided to win him over. She awkwardly tried to flirt: sharing little snippets of her day, asking him out for meals. Xiao Jinghe played along remarkably well. Wen Qing secretly rejoiced: A great catch was almost hers. What she didn't know was that she hadn't recognized him as the blind date she'd met before, or as the boy who'd lived across the hall from her when they were children. Xiao Jinghe watched without giving anything away as the young woman gradually stepped into his world. Anyone who bullied her was transferred the next day. If someone asked her out to eat, he'd deliberately call and keep her busy. When an older student fell for her, he was sent to work in another city the following day. Wen Qing had no idea. She just thought everything in her life was going suspiciously well. Until one day, she accidentally overheard him on the phone with his assistant: “Blacklist everyone who bullies her. We'll never work with them again. And the one who touched her hand... ruin him.” His voice was vicious, nothing like his usual self. Wen Qing was so startled that her hand shook. Her glass fell to the floor and shattered. When Xiao Jinghe chased after her, the living room was empty, and the guest room was vacant. He pushed open the master bedroom door with a dark expression, only to find the young woman curled up quietly in his bed, fast asleep. His gaze deepened. He woke her. “Did I scare you just now?” Wen Qing asked timidly, “If I do something wrong, will you hit me?” Xiao Jinghe paused, then smiled. “Yes.” Seeing the disbelief in her eyes, he bent down and whispered temptingly in her ear, “Want to find out?” That night, Wen Qing cried until her eyes were red and weakly called him a “...bad guy, you flirt!” Xiao Jinghe kissed away her tears, unhurried. “Mm. I can be even worse.” [Reading Guide] * A sweet heroine with severe nearsightedness × a CEO who seems aloof and chaste but is actually a patient, calculating schemer * Love at first sight → secretly protecting her → gradually winning her heart * One-on-one, both leads are pure, sweet and satisfying with no angst, a romance full of misunderstandings caused by their information gap Theme: A lighthearted look at modern young people's everyday romances, where a fun misunderstanding born from an information gap leads to a sweet love story.
