/A formidable man who can cover the sky with one hand x a beautiful, delicate, and cunning girl / old-school melodrama / taking someone by force
1.
Nan Nan finds a man on the beach.
The man lies on the rocks, impossible to tell if he’s alive or dead.
Even soaked and wrinkled by seawater, his suit still looks expensive.
The prayer beads on his right wrist seem familiar to Nan Nan, as if she’s seen them somewhere before.
Nan Nan turns him over, her delicate brows furrowing. "It’s him."
Wen Mingji, the leading figure among Nancheng’s elite, never without his prayer beads, yet ruthless and decisive in everything he does. Some even say he came by his position as head of the family dishonestly.
Nan Nan knows of Wen Mingji because her adoptive father once wanted to give her to him.
2.
A large hand clamps around her fair, delicate neck. Wen Mingji leans close and whispers like a demon, "What are you really after?"
Nan Nan can barely breathe. "Mr. Wen, let’s make a deal. I’ll help you return to the Wen family, and you..."
Instead of drawing away, she leans closer. The girl’s delicate fragrance lingers beneath Wen Mingji’s nose. "Help me get out of here, okay?"
3.
Nan Nan was adopted.
After her eighteenth birthday, she notices her adoptive father and three older brothers looking at her with increasingly lecherous eyes. It makes her shudder.
She has to escape.
Wen Mingji appears just then.
They originally agreed to take what they needed from each other and use each other, but Wen Mingji comes to regret it.
He thinks Nan Nan should be cherished at home, surrounded by love.
*
After that, through countless late nights, Wen Mingji whispers tenderly in her ear, "Nan Nan, you were mine from the start."
Reader’s guide:
1. The heroine is mildly irresistible to everyone and gradually grows stronger.
2. The heroine never intended to be anyone’s dependent, so there will be scenes of her running while he chases her, with nowhere for her to escape. After all, this is a #taking-her-by-force# story. They will only get a happy ending once the hero truly learns to respect her.
