She Fell for Him [Coercive Love]

[Next up: How Am I Supposed to Choose Among So Many Men?]

In City A, everyone knew that timid, cowardly Wen Yu was the Zhou family's adopted daughter, cherished by her two outstanding older brothers.

In public, her eldest brother Zhou Yingshen, the reserved and powerful head of a business empire, sheltered her from every storm.

Her second brother Zhou Shiye, a willful, unruly top-tier lawyer, cleared every obstacle from her path.

But in private...

Late at night in the study, Zhou Yingshen pinned Wen Yu among piles of priceless documents. His presence was as cold as snow, but his fingertips burned as he said, "Tell me, who do you belong to?"

In the chaos, Wen Yu's eyes grew red as she whimpered, "I belong only to you..."

In the passenger seat of a speeding race car, Zhou Shiye bit the sensitive tip of her ear over the roar of the engine. His voice was dangerously seductive. "Be good. Beg me, and I'll slow down."

Terrified, Wen Yu looked ready to cry. "Please."

Wen Yu gazed up with dewy eyes, soft and obedient on the surface.

But deep down, she was plotting her escape.

-

Then, after an accident, Wen Yu disappeared just as she'd hoped.

She also lost all her memories, including those of Zhou Yingshen and Zhou Shiye.

But Zhou Yingshen and Zhou Shiye went mad.

Her older brother turned half the business world upside down, while her younger brother mobilized every resource at his disposal.

But when they finally found Wen Yu, she was trying on a white wedding dress with her arm around another man's.

The dress was as white as snow, and Wen Yu's eyes curved into a smile, her gaze clear and untainted by the world.

The man beside her, Shen Jinhuai, was the head of an elite but low-profile family.

He was disciplined and courteous, patient and gentle, and always treated Wen Yu as the most precious person in the world.

What's more, when the two Zhou brothers tried to approach Wen Yu again, he stood firmly in front of her and refused to budge.

The once-arrogant Zhou brothers finally went completely mad.

Zhou Yingshen, who used to be cold and merciless, set aside all his pride and carefully arranged chance encounters, just to get Wen Yu to look at him.

Zhou Shiye, once so haughty, even hurt himself and knelt down in tears to beg her. "Even if I become someone else, you still won't want me?"

A sweet, sunny heiress versus a cool, restrained old fox.

On Luo Qingzhu's twentieth birthday, the pampered heiress of the Luo family was sent to the Xie family for an arranged marriage.

What kind of family was the Xie family? A top-tier power among the wealthy, with influence that reached the heavens.

Its four eligible young masters were all handsome and exceptionally capable, men whom every socialite in the city desperately wanted but could never hope to reach.

The eldest, Xie Jingyan, was a mature, steady vice president of the family corporation.

The second, Xie Jinghuan, was a sharp-tongued, cold-faced elite lawyer.

The third, Xie Jingshen, was a cold and aloof medical genius.

The fourth, Xie Jing'an, was an unruly race car driver.

In the spacious living room of the villa, the old master Xie said kindly, "Qingzhu is the future young madam we've chosen for the Xie family. Stand in a line, all of you, and let her choose."

The atmosphere turned tense.

The Xie heirs all wore the same expression: cool, distant, and unwilling.

Marry a young heiress they'd never even met?

It would damage their image, waste their time, and be unbearably boring. There was no need.

The four men would have done anything to vanish on the spot.

Luo Qingzhu was ecstatic inside. Great! No one wants this, so the marriage will probably fall through.

Then Old Master Xie added leisurely, "Whoever marries Qingzhu and is the first to give me an heir will receive all my shares."

At those words, the eyes of all the cold, indifferent men before her changed in an instant.

Their rejection turned to determination in seconds.

Their gazes met, turbulent with tension and sparks.

Luo Qingzhu: "...?"

She turned and ran in fright.

But from then on, the once aloof and self-possessed Xie young masters became a spectacular case of falling head over heels:

Calm and nonchalant on the surface, they relentlessly tried to get her attention in secret.

Reluctant in words, they were more eager than anyone in action.

They sabotaged one another, competed with one another, and got jealous of one another.

In short, they all went wild, each determined to win Luo Qingzhu's heart.

Then one day, several men cornered Luo Qingzhu, leaving her nowhere to run.

A group of impossibly handsome men surrounded her, their oppressive presence closing in from every side.

"Choose one. You tell us."

Driven to the brink, Luo Qingzhu decided to throw caution to the wind. She looked up with an unconcerned expression and said something shocking. "Um, how about... I try them one at a time?"

The air fell terrifyingly silent.

The young masters' faces turned livid, and they rejected her in unison. "Don't even dream of it."

"You can only choose one."

Luo Qingzhu pouted and blinked. After a moment, she raised her finger and pointed at a tall, slender figure behind them.

Her voice was soft and sweet. "Then... I'll choose him."

Everyone turned around.

In the night, the man stood tall and straight, his bearing cool and restrained.

His expression was indifferent, yet when he looked at Luo Qingzhu, a faint smile touched his eyes.

He was none other than the current head of the Xie family, the man everyone in the family respectfully called Uncle: Xie Yanci, a confirmed bachelor who never wanted to marry or have children.

He walked over slowly and looked down at Luo Qingzhu, his voice low and alluring. "You choose me?"

"You won't regret it?"

Luo Qingzhu looked up, utterly unabashed. "That's right. So, are you going to marry me or not?"

Xie Yanci gave a faint nod and parted his lips. "All right."

Luo Qingzhu: "?"

The Xie nephews behind her: "?"

Wait, Uncle? You can't do this.

You're picking on someone younger and using your seniority to pressure us. That's not fair.
