Caught Off Guard

Nie Dongyu approaches Lu Tianqing with an ulterior motive, thinking he has every step planned out, when in fact he is sinking deeper with every step.

He hides his deep feelings because they run to the bone; love is hard to guard against.

By the time he finally realizes his true feelings, the girl who once loved him deeply has already walked away.

A miserable, calculating, refined man versus a simple, stubborn, gentle woman.

One-on-one throughout, with a happy ending.

A warning from the shameless author:

1: Tong is determined to torment scumbag men. If they don't get tortured half to death, they'll be left crippled. The author is the heroine's loving mother and the hero's mother-in-law.

2: The male lead is having a fit of youthful bravado, a pear tree towering over crabapple blossoms. There's a nine-year age gap, so don't read if that's not for you.

3: The heroine is a delicate little white flower. If that's not your thing, click the X. She's a bit of a pushover at first, but she'll grow stronger later.

4: This story is naturally melodramatic and can't help itself. Feel free to complain if you want. The author's brain is small, so please lower your expectations.
