Back to the 1970s to Care for Dad

It's so cold out here. Any readers around?

[Blurb]

A father-daughter story. The daughter gets a love interest later on.

Zhao Silin thought his life was just perfect. He married his first love and had a darling daughter whom he treasured like a jewel.

He and Xu Yu had doted on their daughter since she was little, holding her in their hands for fear she'd fall, and keeping her in their mouths for fear she'd melt.

Afraid she'd be bullied, Zhao Silin drove her to and from school without fail, no matter how busy he was, protecting her like an eagle circling overhead.

Then, in her third year of middle school, his daughter received the first love letter of her life.

Curious, Zhao Silin craned his neck. "Let me have a look."

His precious daughter stamped her foot in annoyance. "Honestly, Dad! Why do you have to look at everything? Can't I have any privacy?"

Zhao Silin clutched his chest and let out a long sigh. "...She's rebellious now. Rebellious."

[Short scene]

Zhao Qisui never imagined that one day she'd get to see her dad as a child with her own eyes:

wearing a pair of ragged pants, sniffling, and staring at her from a field ridge.

Zhao Qisui: "...Zhao Silin?"

The little boy, missing a front tooth, grinned foolishly. "How do you know my name? I get it! You're my aunt who went to Singapore when I was little."

Well, from then on, they'd each have their own version of the story.

She'd call him Dad.

And Dad would call her "Auntie."

Coming next: The Treacherous Minister's Daughter Wants to Run Away Every Day

[Blurb]

Bai Zhitan's father was a treacherous minister who caused Xiao Zigui's parents' deaths.

They say children must pay for their parents' debts. She had enjoyed sixteen years of luxury, so naturally she had to pay for her father's crimes.

From then on, Xiao Zigui kept her trapped in his bedchamber and humiliated her at will.

Later, she finally found a chance to escape.

Who could have guessed that the man would come looking for her to confess his love?

Bai Zhitan, who had never been afraid even in the face of death threats,

now looked as if she'd seen a ghost. Trembling, she shouted, "...Are you insane?!" She'd rather he just died.

Male lead's point of view:

Bai Zhitan's father caused Xiao Zigui's parents' deaths.

To take revenge on his enemy's daughter, Xiao Zigui kept Bai Zhitan confined in his residence and forced himself on her, intending to humiliate her. But Bai Zhitan remained stubborn and unyielding.

Instead, he was the one who gradually fell for her, day after day...

Only after Bai Zhitan escaped did he realize he had feelings for her.

After finally finding her, he confessed.

But she turned pale with fright and kept backing away.

Seeing Bai Zhitan react to him like that, the male lead felt a bitter, sour ache in his heart, unable to put it into words.

The male lead is a gentlemanly, refined man who has no interest in romance and keeps himself virtuous. He intends to humiliate the heroine by violating her. The heroine's inner monologue: This is the first time I've seen someone punish an enemy by using a method that costs them a thousand men while losing eight hundred of their own...

[Reading notes]

1. A medium-length, melodramatic story about a man winning back his wife after she leaves him.

2. The heroine does not have Stockholm syndrome.

3. Both leads are virgins.

"I dare not climb the nine-storied tower alone. My gaze reaches the ends of the world, where a lone boat sails. Half-sober, half-drunk in the wind, I cannot see through love and hate." - Nine-Storied Tower

Theme: Believe that a rainbow will come after the storm.
