Don't Come Crawling Back

Coming soon: the possessive romance Deluded Love, and the mutual-healing story The Butterfly's Wings Tremble.

[Blurb]

When the blind girl Shen Nianxing was at her most helpless, she met a boy who seemed like an angel. He promised to shield her from the storm with his wings, so she devoted herself to him, doing everything he said.

At a birthday party, their friends asked him how he could fall for a little blind girl. Zhou Lin smirked. “I'm just being a good Samaritan and caring for a disadvantaged person.”

His friends laughed at him for being so heartless, warning him that lightning might strike him down.

Zhou Lin scoffed and went on wearing an angel's guise while doing the devil's work.

Before long, the room where he kept his little darling hidden away was empty.

His friends laughed that karma had caught up with him. He said casually, “She's broke and blind. How far could she get?”

As it turned out, she got very far and never came back.

-

Five years later, the second young lady of the Shen family, who had been kept hidden away, finally stepped into the public eye, and announced she wanted to break off her engagement to the playboy young master of the Zhou family.

Zhou Lin crossed his legs and sneered. “I've wanted to call off this engagement for ages.”

But the moment he saw the second young lady of the Shen family, his world collapsed. The girl he'd been searching for over the past five years was the very person he'd been betrothed to, and he'd just agreed to call off the engagement.

Consumed with regret, Zhou Lin did everything he could to get close to Shen Nianxing, gripping her shoulders tightly. “Xiaoxiao, didn't you used to like me? Come back to me!”

Shen Nianxing looked at him with clear, bright eyes and smiled. “Sorry, I only liked you because I was blind. Why don't you go care for someone else who needs help, Mr. Zhou?”

Zhou Lin was wrong. Not only had she regained her sight, she was also the cherished daughter of Jiangcheng's richest man. She had no need to return to his side.

But he wanted her back. More than anything.

[I'll shield you from the storm with my wings. I meant every word.]

Coming soon: Deluded Love. Blurb:

Waiting for the right moment / possessive love / mildly coercive romance / powerful man humbled / stealing someone else's partner

[He didn't want to spend another night alone.]

That night, Yan Xun was driving past an outdoor food stall when he happened to catch sight of a couple in the throes of new love feeding each other. He sat in his car and watched them for a long time.

After spending the whole night in the wind, he fell ill and took a long leave to recuperate at his villa in the suburbs.

After graduating from college, Qin Zhiyu wanted nothing more than to get by in the human resources department of Yanhong Group. She usually tried not to attract attention.

One day, her department manager suddenly sent her to the suburbs to deliver some documents to President Yan.

When she saw Yan Xun sick, Qin Zhiyu took pity on him and made him a pot of porridge.

She never expected that he'd become so fixated on her.

-

Qin Zhiyu had always thought her boss was highly educated, gentlemanly, refined, worldly, and considerate of his employees. In her eyes, he was a good man.

So she never guarded herself against Yan Xun and did whatever he asked, all to keep her boss happy and get a raise so she could help her boyfriend pay off his loan.

Until two months later...

That night, they were locked in a room together, and Yan Xun finally couldn't hold back from making a move on her.

He gripped her ankle and wouldn't let go. In the dim light, his captivating, peach-blossom eyes drew close to hers, and his lips curled into a faint smile. “I've given you so many perks. Don't you think it's time to pay me back?”

Qin Zhiyu didn't understand and backed away, but there was nowhere left to go. She asked timidly, “President Yan, I don't understand what you mean.”

Yan Xun's gaze darkened, and the fingers gripping her ankle tightened, burning hot. “Break up with him and be my girlfriend. From now on, you'll only please me.”

It wasn't a request. It was a forceful demand.

Qin Zhiyu's whole worldview crumbled. The man she'd known for two months seemed like someone else entirely: domineering, controlling, and ruthless. He was a bad man.

Terrified but unwilling to give in, she resolved to secretly register her marriage with the boyfriend she'd been with for five years.

-

The day before they were due to go to the civil affairs office, Qin Zhiyu visited Yan Xun again out of pity because he was sick.

Alone with a woman in his room, he leaned against the headboard and lazily looked her up and down before sneering. “You think marrying him means I can't do anything to you?”

Qin Zhiyu was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. She didn't dare challenge this man who had clearly lost his mind.

He pulled her forcefully into his arms, gently running his thumb over her trembling lips as he coaxed her in a calm voice. “Why are you shaking? If you break up with him and date me, I won't let you suffer. I'll treat you better than he does.”

Qin Zhiyu pretended to be obedient, gauging the situation and looking for a chance to escape.

But her family was her weak spot, and that man had her completely under his thumb. She no longer dared entertain the thought of running away.

On the day she broke up with her boyfriend, the man didn't care that someone was standing outside the door. He deliberately revealed himself through the peephole, making sure her ex-boyfriend saw him kiss her.

-

Yan Xun had never intended to bully a young woman just entering the working world. It went against the gentlemanly image he'd cultivated for himself.

But she had barged into his barren wasteland of many years like a radiant sunflower, leaving behind a seed that sprouted roots and claimed his territory.

From that moment on, he decided: This flower would bloom in his garden alone, forever.

Scheming, unhinged powerful man x carefree, sweet little white flower

A story of a one-sided crush that turns into stealing someone else's love.

No need to think too hard. I just want to write an old-school coercive romance for a bit of excitement in a dull life. No harmful messages intended. Minors, please read with caution! Please keep your moral compass intact!

Theme: You used to ignore me, but now I'm out of your league.
