Butterfly Iris [Age Gap / Coercive Love]

Possessive pursuit / nine-year age gap / the male lead has been plotting this for a long time / outwardly a people-pleaser, but secretly they're both rushing toward their own ruin

Blurb:

Zhu Yuan first met Meng Du just after she came of age.

Her birthday banquet was a grand affair. No one knew the Zhu family was already an empty shell, but what no one expected was that after the family fell on hard times, Mr. Meng would take Zhu Yuan away.

Zhu Yuan would never forget that day. Meng Du stood humbly beside Old Master Zhu, promising to care for her for the rest of her life, until she married her fiance.

His collar was buttoned to the very top, but it could not hide the conspicuous scar on his neck.

Zhu Yuan had been afraid and timid, but he treated her with the utmost care and never neglected her.

Meng Du often wore gold-rimmed glasses, his hair parted to one side. He had a refined, scholarly smile, and over time, Zhu Yuan came to think of him as a perfect gentleman.

Later, her fiance, who had Zhu Yuan in his heart, hoped to get engaged and take her away as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuan agreed, then turned to make her request of Meng Du, lowering her eyes. "Uncle Meng, thank you for taking care of me."

Meng Du remained gentle, but there was no smile in his eyes behind his glasses. He raised a hand to soothe her and leaned toward her with impeccable manners. "Little Yuan wants to get married. You've grown up, is that it?"

Zhu Yuan looked at him with clear eyes and said nothing.

Until the night before the engagement, Zhu Yuan sat helplessly on a sofa in the dressing room, unable to resist.

Meng Du took off his leather gloves, his eyes curving into a smile. With a sigh and a laugh, he slid his hand beneath her skirt and said softly:

"You have no choice, Zhu Yuan."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As he was about to come closer, Zhu Yuan pressed her lips together and said with utter sincerity, "Uncle Meng, I've been waiting for you for a long time, too."

"You're richer than him. I think I'd be better off with you."

-

Meng Du took in a young girl who was delicate, pitiful, and all alone.

At first, he brought her home only to atone for his sins and fulfill his promise.

He didn't know when it happened, but the way he looked at Zhu Yuan gradually changed.

Only later did he realize that this young girl had never been well-behaved.
