A super-sweet coming-of-age story for New Year's Eve, "Taking In a Possessive Little Shadow". Synopsis at the end.
-- Synopsis
Qin Mian spent twenty years hiding overseas, mastering every trick for winning people over as she waited for the Yan family to change hands. She never expected the new head of the family to be a woman.
Qin Mian: No big deal. It's just a change of gender, right?
She set her sights on Yan He on the very first day and put all her hard-learned tricks to use. Yet Yan He remained utterly indifferent, not a ripple stirring in her eyes.
Qin Mian: ...Does that make any sense?
But Yan He really was good to her.
She drove Qin Mian to and from work, gave her all sorts of surprise gifts for every holiday, and sent her at least a hundred thousand yuan at a time. No matter how much Qin Mian acted up, Yan He indulged her completely and agreed to every request.
Everyone said Qin Mian had won Yan He over, and that even a madwoman had learned to love.
Only Qin Mian knew Yan He didn't love her. She didn't love anyone.
All Yan He felt for her was guilt.
Reader's Guide
1. This is not a traditional bad ending. It's a somewhat tragic story.
2. No idealized first love, no substitute trope, no breakup or groveling-to-win-her-back arc. No romantic feelings in the first half; one-sided feelings in the second half.
3. There is a secondary couple, and they have a happy ending.
4. The author's skills are limited, but they are doing their best to tell this story well.

"Thank you, big sister. I'll repay you."
"How will you repay me?"
"I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life."
At the time, Wen Yuqiu thought it was just something a child would say. But later on,

People said that rotten soil could never grow a proud rose.

If she couldn't have an easy life, she would drag everyone else down to hell with her.

Congratulations to the front row! Thank you for your companionship for so long. I hope Yan He, Qin Mian, Yan Yu, and Xiao Qi will be well. Sister Rourou, too. I hope she will be born in an ordinary family in the next life and live a healthy and peaceful life. In short, be happy qaq! When I first entered the trap, I always thought it was just Mianmian. It was not until later that I discovered that Hezai and Sister Rourou were not. In fact, the overall feeling of this book to me was more like a dream. Especially Hezai took Mianmian to various places on the map like a treasure hunt. They looked at the stars together and finally went to the mushroom field together. This experience was like a dream, but when she woke up from the dream, it was the cruel fact that greeted her. Yan He did not love her, and the sister she had been looking for for so long had passed away. Yan He, too, relied on her sister who was like a family member for so long and finally stayed in that nightmarish place. And even though she survived, she still had to carry that memory with her to look for Rourou's family. Maybe it was like a dream to her. Maybe when she woke up, Sister Rourou was still alive and would tolerate her acting coquettishly and tell her countless stories. Even the three of them could live together and see the outside world and the rivers and lakes. Such two people were indeed destined to be together from the beginning, but fortunately, their encounter made up for each other's misfortune a little. Mianmian knew the truth and had more to rely on. He Zai finally completed what he promised and released his obsession. I hope they can get better and better in the future. The dead have passed away, and the living must work hard to live strong! By the way, let's talk about Mo Zai. Mo Zai's progress is also very obvious. Thank you for bringing such a story to everyone. Although it is indeed a little sad, it is also like a new beginning for me. In short, everyone should get better and better. Oh, yes, Yan Yu and Xiao Qi should always be sweet, go, go, go, look forward to the next book.
In fact, I prefer it to be He. It will be more beautiful if the two fall in love in the end. After all, life is hard and needs to be sweetened.
Are they single arrows when they are not together, or are they still single arrows when they are together?
No need to sleep tonight...

Have peace every year, hehe
