Too Deeply Enamored

[New book now underway] [Publication title: "Drowned in Light"~ Coming soon for preorder. Follow progress on Weibo: @Wu Xia Song] The first time Yu Yuan saw Xie Xingchao, he was a gloomy, withdrawn little boy, brought over all alone by his family's nanny to stay temporarily with Yu Yuan's family, who were friends of his. The little boy couldn't speak. He was as pretty as a doll, and silently clung only to her. Yu Yuan's heart nearly melted. She felt more and more protective of him, and tried her best to be a good big sister. But after staying at her house for a few years, he suddenly stopped letting her near him. He barely spoke to her and even ran away from her. Before long, he became the obsessive, uncontrollable devil everyone feared in the rumors. They met again years later, when she went to welcome new students at the start of university. The young man was now a head taller than her, with a tall, handsome build. Amid the crowd, he suddenly wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. He nuzzled her neck, eyes red, and asked pitifully, "Yuanyuan, have you already decided you don't want me anymore?" Yu Yuan felt sorry for him, finding him pitiful, innocent, and childlike. She treated him as she always had. Until she finally began to realize something was wrong and tried to keep her distance from him. But by then, it was too late. "Why won't you love me?" The young man slowly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Did I do something that made you uncomfortable, Big Sister? I can change anything." [Two] As the only son of the Xie family of Lingcheng, Xie Xingchao was kidnapped for an entire month when he was little. After enduring torture and trauma, he became gloomy and unruly, and could no longer speak. The first thing he said after regaining his voice as a child was to call Yu Yuan "Big Sister." He stopped using that title for a long time. But much later, during their wedding ceremony, the young man leaned in behind everyone's backs and murmured "Big Sister" near her ear, his voice suggestive and lazily content. It made her so ashamed she wanted to die. * Long accustomed to love without return, I hide the filthy mud that clings to me. Stars fall from the wild sky, birds sing on thorns, and I kneel to offer you every pure and flawless dream. All to lure you, little by little, into surrender. [An obsessive, unruly puppy of a man X a naturally gentle, bookish beauty] [TIPS: The hero is no good person. He's all kinds of unstable, a wolf in sheep's clothing and genuinely rotten to the core, with an extremely possessive streak. He's very good at acting cute and obedient in front of the heroine. Three-year age gap, older woman/younger man romance. No blood relation or family connection. From university campus to the city. Actually a sweet romance. All locations and settings are fictional and unrelated to reality.] Theme:
