(A wolf cub grows into a powerful official to win love, with a scheming, dark-lotus tutor and a gentle, kind beauty.)
Shen Rongxi never imagined that the person she had raised with her own hands was a wolf cub in sheep's clothing.
Those starry eyes brimming with tears made her buy him on a whim. She taught and protected him, never realizing she was inviting a wolf into her home.
He ruined her engagement, harmed her family, and brought the Marquis's household crashing into ruin overnight. Her parents disappeared, while he transformed into a Grand Tutor with power over the entire court.
In a dim, warm chamber, the bed curtains were scattered about. Shen Rongxi's hands and feet were bound to the bed.
Lu Shiyu gripped her chin, his face as cold as frost and his voice sinister. "Sister Xi, you can only be mine."
Shen Rongxi: "..."

Lu Shiyu was just a pitiful little beggar, lowborn and mired in filth.
Someone gave him food, taught him poetry and etiquette, and fed the darkness in his heart.
How dare some spoiled young master relying on his family touch someone as celestial as her!
Why couldn't it be him?
He clawed his way up from the dirt, bargained with tigers, and did every wicked thing imaginable. After years of planning, he finally reached the summit.
Everyone said he was treacherous and had the ambition of a wolf. Only he knew how often he had woken from nightmares in the dead of night,
fearing he would see someone dressed in bridal red.
All he ever wanted, all he ever yearned for, was one person. Even if his methods were despicable and the whole world cursed him,
he still wanted her!
1. Mild forced possession. The little wolf cub grows into a dark-lotus power broker to claim the beauty.
2. The male and female leads are devoted to each other. He loves her deeply, and she loves him too.
3. Screenshot dated December 12, 2023, saved as proof. (I'll keep refining the blurb.)
Theme: Win love through the right means.
