Spoiled and Tender

Sweet and soft x ruthless | Marriage first, love later | Reunited after years apart | Mutual redemption

In her first year of high school, Lu Yuanzhou moved in next door to Wen Ruan.

Lu Yuanzhou loved picking on her. Wen Ruan was terrified of the arrogant, cold, and ruthless Lu Yuanzhou, but no matter how much she tried to hide, he always found her.

Whenever her mother saw her with Lu Yuanzhou, Wen Ruan would get scolded and beaten.

Even though Lu Yuanzhou was the one who wouldn't leave her alone, everyone said she had a crush on him.

So one day, when Lu Yuanzhou lost a bet to her and promised to grant her one wish, Wen Ruan gathered all her courage and asked him, "I hate you. Can you stay away from me from now on?"

Wen Ruan's parents were servants in the Lin household. Only after Lu Yuanzhou moved away did Wen Ruan learn that she was the Lin family's real daughter, switched at birth.

On the day the truth came out, Wen Ruan stood silently in the shadows in a corner, watching Mr. and Mrs. Lin hold their adopted daughter, Lin Xianuan, and promise her tenderly, "Xianuan, you'll always be our only daughter."

After that, Wen Ruan became Lin Xianuan's opposite in every way.

Lin Xianuan shone like a thousand suns, while Wen Ruan fell into the dirt.

Then, one day, Lu Yuanzhou returned. Wen Ruan heard that Lin Xianuan was to marry into the Lu family, while she was to be given to a fool as a favor.

Desperate, Wen Ruan ran in front of Lu Yuanzhou's car and pleaded with him pitifully, "Lu Yuanzhou, will you marry me?"

Wen Ruan didn't know that Lu Yuanzhou had come back for exactly that reason.

Later, when they reached a dead end and parted ways, Wen Ruan left without looking back.

They met again on an amateur dating show. To cover her child's medical expenses, Wen Ruan signed up for the show, which paid a generous appearance fee.

On the first night after they met, Lu Yuanzhou maliciously backed her into a corner. Looking down at her, his voice roiling with fury, he said, "Wen Ruan, how dare you have a child with another man?"

Later, Lu Yuanzhou's eyes red and his face pleading, said, "Wen Ruan, I can treat her as my own daughter. Please don't leave, okay?"
