She Spoils Her, Letting Her Run Wild in the Palm of Her Hand

Shi Huan was reborn, returning to the year she was crowned school beauty.

That year, her younger sister and best friend tricked her into the mountains, where a scumbag assaulted her; her "older brother," Fu Chen, took a knife to defend her and was sentenced to ten years; and her mother died in a car accident while seeking justice for her.

Given another chance, she keeps her false-hearted sister and best friend at a distance, avoids her murderous ex-husband, and takes the initiative to throw herself into the arms of her neighbor, Fu Chen, the "older brother" next door.

Fu Chen grew up neglected and un cared for, a reckless troublemaker who was hostile toward everyone. Only Shi Huan knew that he had loved her quietly for years.

What she didn't expect was that this time around, her "older brother" would be so possessive.

Watching her get pestered by other boys and receive their love letters, he could take it no longer. He cornered her against a wall, his voice dangerous and displeased. "Don't talk to other boys. If I catch you again, I'll kiss you in front of them. Got it?"

Shi Huan smiled sweetly. "Then kiss me now."

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. Damn it, was she flirting with him?

Fu Chen thought his life held nothing but endless darkness. He hated the light and longed for the dark.

But he never imagined that the girl he'd secretly loved for years would confess to him first.

A ray of light had appeared, tearing through the darkness and staying by his side.

"Fu Chen, I like you. I like you more than anyone."

Everyone treated him like garbage. She was the only one who didn't look down on him.

He'd always held back, refusing to get close to her, yet she had thrown herself into his arms.

After years of restraint, Fu Chen's self-control vanished in an instant.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her fiercely. He had to teach her how cruel people could be.

"Say you like me again, and I'll show you the consequences."

Shi Huan wasn't intimidated by his words, which contradicted his true feelings. Holding him around the waist, she murmured again and again, "I like you. I like you more than anyone."

Damn it. He couldn't hold back anymore.

Fu Chen swept her into his arms and kissed her. "Huanbao, you walked right into my trap. In this life, you're mine and mine alone."

Bonus scene:

Fu Chen is a fearsome figure in the business world, moody and unpredictable. No one dares cross him, and no woman dares act out in front of him.

Everyone thinks he's indestructible, without a single weakness.

Only Shi Huan knows that every night, Fu Chen holds her tight and murmurs again and again, "Huanbao, don't leave me."

Only Shi Huan knows that her name and her most beautiful photograph are tattooed on him.

She is his armor, and his one and only weakness.

For her, he puts away his rebellious nature and sharp claws.

He gives her all the love and pampering of a lifetime, holding her in his palm and letting her do as she pleases.

Please note:

1. The male lead has a limp in one leg, and there are plenty of things to criticize. He and the female lead aren't related by blood; they're childhood friends. The female lead is fair-skinned, beautiful, and extremely sweet.

2. They are each other's first love, and their secret love becomes mutual. Their careers and romance both feature prominently. The male lead can't live without the female lead, and wouldn't survive without her.

3. The male lead suffers, not the female lead. It's probably a story about healing: the female lead heals the male lead, though there will be some heartbreak.
