Possessive Tenderness

My new story, Purehearted Soliloquy, is out now. Please add it to your collections! OvO

[Older woman/younger man] [Ruthless, roguish bad-boy wolf x gentle older woman] [Possessive pursuit]

The He family had a second young master who was raised by the old master from childhood. He was ruthless and brutal in everything he did, and impossibly handsome and eye-catching.

No one in or out of their circle dared to cross him.

That winter, the snow piled up thick. He set his sights on a beautiful woman.

She had striking features and a soft voice, and was seven years older than him.

Nearly everyone was drunk at the welcome-home banquet. Only she walked in through the night.

She bent down and gently touched the face of her little boyfriend, who was drunk and unconscious. Her voice was full of affection as she said in his ear, "A-Zheng, time to go home."

Her voice could soften a wineglass. It also stunned the eyes of He Erye beside her, whose gaze had been as dead as an ancient well.

-

Lately, He Chiyi had been dreaming. The same few scenes played over and over in his dreams.

In the spacious private room, neon lights colored the wineglasses. In a dimly lit alcove, a woman in a white dress rested against his shoulder, calling him "A-Yi" again and again.

When he woke, He Erye felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

He had tampered with his memories, and the desire in his heart was growing wildly.

But she was his brother's woman.

-

On a cold winter night, everyone in the private room was drunk. Only He Chiyi wore a sly, amused smile.

"Big sister."

He rolled the words around on his tongue, savoring them. His voice was seductive, and in his drunken, muddled mind, a moment of clarity surfaced.

"What are you to A-Zheng?"

The woman opened her dark, misty eyes and looked toward the voice, bewildered.

He forgot what she said that night.

He only remembered the coquettish beauty mark at the corner of her eye, full of allure.

-

Later, a reckless and malicious young man cornered her against a wall, demanding again and again, "Why, big sister?"

"How am I worse than him?"

"You love him, but what about me?"

My new story, Purehearted Soliloquy, is out now~~

A story about Beijing's wealthy circles/false siblings/age and size difference/foster care

■ Mature daddy type x innocent, earnest girl / heir to a business empire x pure-hearted campus beauty

■ Winning her back / obsessive love / male lead is restrained and self-possessed at first, then goes mad

01

During the time she was most infatuated with Lu Tingzhou, Cheng Buxi threw herself at him without caring about their relationship.

She'd been fostered by the Lu family since childhood. Used to seeing people part ways and interests clash, she constantly tried to please everyone, always careful and tentative.

The Lu family had been wealthy for generations. The eldest son, Lu Tingzhou, was aloof and proud, peerlessly handsome, widely recognized in their circle as a prodigy in his field and someone everyone respected.

On a summer night, he pressed a kiss to her brow, restrained and controlled.

Little did he know, his younger sister was awake at the time.

On New Year's Eve, she summoned her courage and went to confess to him, knocking on his door with alcohol emboldening her.

Her face was flushed, her hair and clothes disheveled. She told him, "Big Brother Lu, I like you."

But all she got in return was his cold reply: "Stop fooling around."

She suddenly realized it had all been wishful thinking on her part, and that kiss might have been nothing but a dream.

From then on, she stopped trying to get Lu Tingzhou's attention. She dutifully fulfilled her role as the Lu family's adopted daughter and never crossed the line again.

02

When she reached marriageable age, her adoptive mother put down a stack of photos of potential suitors.

Just as her heart had turned cold, fate arranged for her to meet Ning Ci.

Ning Ci was a dignified, handsome man, gentle and considerate. Even a heart sealed in stone would melt for him.

Cheng Buxi felt right at home with him. She planned to follow the Lu matriarch's arrangements and marry him soon. It would make a lovely story.

It turned out she was using the exact same approach she'd used on Lu Tingzhou, without changing a thing, on Ning Ci.

"Second Brother Ning, Xiaoxi likes you." She smiled at him, confessed her feelings, and did everything she could to treat him well.

But Lu Tingzhou saw it all, and now he wouldn't allow it.

03

On her wedding night, she slowly awoke.

But she wasn't in the bridal chamber. She was in an unfamiliar villa abroad, and her groom was nowhere to be found.

The entire house was an exact replica of her princess-themed bedroom back home, and an unbreakable iron chain was wrapped around her ankle.

"No, you can't..." She trembled like a leaf, her voice choked with fear.

Her brother, usually a refined and elegant gentleman whose appearance was beyond compare, wore a chilling smile. He clapped his hands, making the chains clank.

He leaned over, his gaze falling on her pale, trembling face. His voice was soft, as if soothing her, yet concealed an unmistakable possessive obsession:

"Koukou."

"Tell your big brother, who do you really like?"

Tips:

◎ The female lead's nickname is Koukou. It comes from the word for "button" and means to fasten or hold on to something.

◎ The male lead is jealous, disciplined, and doesn't realize he is in love. Both leads are virgins.

Theme: Don't give up easily. Keep striving for true love.
