My Dad's Archrival Says He Wants to Marry Me

·

Bai Luoning was born with fair skin and handsome features, and his pair of watery, flirtatious eyes was especially captivating.

Ever since he was old enough to remember, he had used his family background and good looks (and his fists) to get whatever he wanted. It never occurred to him that, given how badass his father was, a man named Jiang Hanzhou could scheme against him so badly that he nearly went bankrupt.

Then, after an accident, he transmigrated intact to ten years in the past...

After witnessing with his own eyes how his future, stern and levelheaded father led a gang of punks to surround Jiang Hanzhou and threaten him into calling him "Dad," Bai Luoning was completely stunned.

"Um..." Bai Luoning met Jiang Hanzhou's gloomy gaze, and his brow twitched.

Damn, he's scary! Better not mess with him! Suddenly, I don't feel like raising his affection level anymore...

Dad's bankruptcy was totally deserved!!

Bai Luoning, who had no idea how to comfort people, reluctantly pulled out two candies and gave one to Jiang Hanzhou. When Jiang Hanzhou didn't react for ages, he had to put the other one in his own mouth right in front of him to prove it wasn't poisoned.

"I want the one you have~" Jiang Hanzhou leaned closer, his low, husky voice fading between their lips.

Bai Luoning: ...??

Damn it, that's my candy!!!

Wait! Did this guy... just kiss me?

Everyone said there were two men in the empire nobody should ever offend.

One was Jiang Hanzhou, a man of mysterious origins and overwhelming power, devastatingly handsome, gloomy and obsessive, with an extremely possessive streak. If he furrowed his brow, the entire empire would tremble!

The other was Bai Chenfeng, a powerful scion of a wealthy family, a business legend with enterprises across the country, and a top figure in the empire, practically the nation's dad!

The two were natural enemies.

When Bai Chenfeng found out Jiang Hanzhou had gotten together with his "son," he was so furious he nearly exploded!!!

Bai Chenfeng: "Didn't you always refuse to call me Dad?!"

Jiang Hanzhou: "Dad, I was wrong!"

Bai Chenfeng: "..."

[Warnings]

There will be a return to the future later on, and the story has dual perspectives, so don't pick the wrong side!

The general timeline is fine, and so is the age gap. Keep reading and it'll all make sense! There are spoilers involved, so I won't be explaining further in the comments!

A light, sweet little story, a chaotic mix of tropes, and a very loosely constructed setting!!
