Falling Into Love and Desire

* Coercive romance, stealing someone else's partner, eight-year age gap, both inexperienced, happy ending

* Unhinged tycoon x fierce actress

The first time Chen Gubei saw Zhao Jinhuan, he got improper ideas about her and decided she was the girlfriend fate had chosen for him.

Too bad she already had a boyfriend.

Chen Gubei was born at the top of the pyramid. He was used to controlling everything. Money, wealth, power, status: anything he wanted was within easy reach.

And yet, for the first time in his life, he suffered a crushing defeat over a woman.

When he pursued her, Zhao Jinhuan declared with absolute certainty, “Even if every other man on earth were dead, I still wouldn’t be with you.”

But what chance did a woman with no power or connections have against a calculating man?

Chen Gubei ignored all morals, stopped at nothing, and closed in on Zhao Jinhuan at every turn until he had her in his grasp, forcing her to be his girlfriend.

Zhao Jinhuan was fierce, stubborn, and rebellious to the core.

After they got together, she either cursed him to his face or tried to hit him. Sometimes she wished she could curse him dead.

Faced with her defiance, Chen Gubei sighed inwardly, “Excellent.” He loved nothing more than taming women.

He was happy to take his time with her, to wear her down little by little, convinced that one day she would fall in love with him of her own accord.

Then one day, when he was least prepared for it, Zhao Jinhuan left everything behind and ran away!

Chen Gubei went to extraordinary lengths to capture her and bring her back, keeping her by his side and possessing her day and night.

Once they were together, he did everything in his power to spoil her, showering her with money and resources. Nothing was too much for her.

But just when he thought they were about to walk down the aisle, Zhao Jinhuan struck him a devastating blow.

On the night she won an award, she dusted herself off and dumped him again.

Faced with such an unyielding girlfriend, Chen Gubei did everything he could to make her stay, but Zhao Jinhuan remained unmoved.

At last, the man who always had everything planned finally panicked, an extraordinary sight.

Nine-year age gap, both inexperienced, foster care

Liang Bao Ci and Tan Mushen kept their ambiguous relationship going for three years.

By day, she called him Big Brother. At night, she begged him to go easy on her.

She was convinced that if she played her part as his little sister and girlfriend, she could repay his kindness, then part from him on good terms.

On a stormy night, she finally mustered the courage to ask for a breakup.

But he tore off his refined gentlemanly facade and forced her to stay by his side. “You silly girl, you’re still too naive. You really think you’ve grown wings?”

Knowing the two of them could never have a future, Liang Bao Ci did as her elders wished and went on a blind date. At a family dinner, she introduced him to her date as her “big brother.”

Tan Mushen cornered her on the terrace and teased her with a raised brow. “Does he know you were with your big brother last night?”

Shocked by his shamelessness, Liang Bao Ci decided to throw caution to the wind. She exposed their secret at the family dinner, forcing him to let her go. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell them all we’ve been fooling around?”

But he replied, “Perfect. Then we’ll get married.”

//

Tan Mushen had never been afraid of anything in his life.

What he feared most was not being able to marry Liang Bao Ci.

After years of entanglement, he had threatened her, forced her to stay, gone mad, and begged.

At last, she became his wife in name and in law.

He thought that after they married, they could start over and leave their twisted relationship behind. He could cherish her and love her.

Until a divorce agreement was placed in front of him.

She smiled. “Tan Mushen, this time, you don’t have anything left to use to threaten me, do you?”

He gripped the paper tightly, feeling utterly helpless for the first time.

Suddenly, he realized she had been acting all along.

But she didn’t know.

He had done everything he could to keep her by his side simply because he loved her.

He had loved her far longer than she could ever imagine.
