Princess Syndrome

"Delicate, soft-bodied beauty who judges by looks x Cold on the outside, secretly flirtatious devoted husband"

Heiress Pei Jingyan is famous for her spoiled princess antics, while tech tycoon Xie Lun is a cold, aloof flower growing high on an inaccessible peak.

So when news broke that the Pei and Xie families were joining forces through marriage, everyone in their circle started betting on how long it would take them to divorce.

Six months later, the media captured a video:

Xie Lun followed behind Pei Jingyan, a pink purse looped over his right arm and bubble tea in his left hand, expressionlessly swiping his black card.

His friends in the industry (shocked.jpg): Mr. Xie, blink twice if you've been kidnapped?

Xie Lun (cold.jpg): What's wrong with taking my wife shopping?

At first, when Pei Jingyan heard she was supposed to marry Xie Lun, she refused.

She was a young, beautiful, invincible girl. Why should she marry a boring, old-fashioned man? Weren't fresh-faced young guys more appealing, and weren't cute puppy-like guys more obedient?

Then she caught sight of the cold, aloof man’s eight-pack abs beneath his shirt. Clutching her pounding heart, Pei Jingyan thought, Maybe an older man isn't so bad after all?

Xie Lun noticed that Pei Jingyan had been looking at him strangely lately.

Did she want a new handbag again, or had she picked out another limited-edition sports car?

Just as he was searching her social media for clues about what she had been liking, someone knocked on the study door.

His sweet little wife poked her head in, eyes shimmering. "Want to have a drink?"

Xie Lun: "..."

#Love at first sight? More like lust at first sight.#

#Pei Jingyan thinks her older husband is a feast for the eyes, and can drink three cups of bubble tea.#

#Don't ask. She's already gained three pounds since they got married.#

*Marriage first, love later; sweet romance; a nine-year age gap; both leads are each other's first.

The second-generation novel in the same series, Wild Thoughts in the Mist, is now underway

"Alluring, flirtatious beauty x aloof, handsome mixed-race man"

Xie Qingyi is a popular young actress, with a gorgeous face and an ethereal air. But beneath her fairy-like appearance, she has a terrible temper.

Every few days, she ends up trending for all the wrong reasons: accused of acting like a diva, scheming, or even hitting and yelling at guests.

Those who love her think she's full of personality. Those who hate her call her fake, haughty, spoiled, and melodramatic, and say her fairy image is bound to collapse sooner or later.

One day, paparazzi captured a video.

The usually haughty, pampered Xie Qingyi was curled up like a little bird on the back of a young man as they got into a black Ferrari.

The internet's haters went wild: So much for the pure, aloof little fairy! She's just a kept woman! Get out of show business, you resource-backed phony!

As the whole internet dug into the identity of Xie Qingyi's sugar daddy, the most secretive, low-profile big shot in finance verified his account overnight and posted: "She's the little sister I grew up with. @Xie QingyiDiane"

Netizens: !!!???

One morning, after a night of drinking.

Xie Qingyi deliberately stumbled into the man's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck, putting on an innocent pout. "Big brother, my head still hurts."

His mixed-race features were strikingly handsome, and his dark green fox eyes were dangerous and alluring.

He lifted her chin with two long fingers and said in a low, husky voice, "Stop playing with me."

During Jiang Xiao's lonely teenage years, Xie Qingyi appeared like a bright moon.

She splashed through the fountain and held out her hand to him, smiling with pure innocence. "Big brother, want to play with me?"

He knew she wanted to pull him into the water with her, but he still took her hand.

Just as later, he knew the rebellion beneath her obedient appearance, and the mischief beneath her gentle smile.

Yet he still fell helplessly, hopelessly in love.
