A rebellious wildflower pretending to be a delicate white flower x a possessive Daddy pretending to be a gentleman
Size difference / eight-year age gap / married couple with double secret identities / brooding male lead gets jealous of himself
After three years of marriage, Su Jianwei was already fed up with her stuffy, boring husband.
As a global shipping tycoon, Huo Yuchen dealt with powerful and influential people, yet he himself was restrained and courteous, patient and mild-mannered. Even their sex life felt like following some precise procedure.
When she thought about how, in ten years, she'd be in the prime of her life, while Huo Yuchen would be a worn-out old man, Su Jianwei couldn't sit still any longer.
So she handed Huo Yuchen divorce papers. She wanted to find her true love while she was still young.
*
The very day she handed over the divorce papers, Su Jianwei posted a personals ad on a small anonymous forum:
[Seeking a dominant Daddy. Open-minded and accepting, with no exes or current partners.]
A man who fit the bill perfectly soon contacted her.
His profile picture showed no face, only a photo in a suit. Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a shirt stretched tight over his chest, and a long, strong wrist resting against a cufflink. Even through the screen, he radiated an intense need for control.
He was brief: [Clean body and clean heart, but I only accept 1v1.]
Su Jianwei was thrilled: [Don't worry, my ex-husband has already received the divorce papers.]
After a brief silence, he sent another message: [Why are you getting divorced?]
*
In his study, Huo Yuchen unhurriedly took off his watch.
All these years, he had thought his wife was gentle and innocent, someone who needed to be carefully cherished.
So he had desperately suppressed his true nature. He didn't even dare turn on the lights during sex, afraid the loss of control in his eyes would frighten her.
That was, until he saw Su Jianwei's reply: [Because all he knows how to do is the same position, over and over.]
Huo Yuchen let out a low laugh and took a diamond-studded chain from the safe.
Later, the cold chain clinked against the metal bed frame as he relentlessly demanded again and again,
“Is your relationship with him as deep as what we have now?”
P.S. “Him” refers to the male lead's online secret identity. When Daddy goes crazy, he even gets jealous of himself.
Reading guide: 1v1, SC. I haven't decided on anything else yet, so I'll add more later.
