Stealing an Iris

"Clear Skies After Winter Snow" is currently being serialized. A clear-headed, independent older sister who sleeps with someone without taking responsibility vs. a devoted, black-hearted puppy who wants a proper title. The blurb is below.

Powerful Beijing business tycoon x scheming seductress / older, fatherly man / old flame reignited / secret love comes true / six-year age gap

Fu Liwen has a high standing in the family. He's only six years older than Zhao Qing'an, but she has to call him uncle.

They first met at a family gathering, where he accidentally snapped the purple irises she had worked so hard to grow.

From then on, they were at odds, and every time they met, she called him by his full name.

Years later, when they met again, Zhao Qing'an was letting loose at a bar, and Fu Liwen caught her in the act.

She immediately turned sweet and obedient, retracted her feral kitten claws, and respectfully called him, "L-little uncle."

He heard that she had run away from home to escape an arranged marriage, so Fu Liwen kindly took her in.

At a Halloween ball, Fu Liwen showed up uninvited and whispered softly in her ear, "Tonight, I'm not here as your little uncle."

At a cocktail party, Fu Liwen ran into Zhao Qing'an's fiance in name only.

Sun Qifeng: "Uncle Wen, those shoes look familiar."

Fu Liwen: "They should. I was at her place last night."

Fatherly boyfriend x haughty, sweet girl

Yu Yaxuan booked a rideshare home for the New Year, never expecting that the driver would be Lu Wenyan, the bratty younger boy from her former neighbors' family.

Back when she "found" Lu Wenyan in a corner by the wall, he looked like a dirty, injured stray puppy.

Who knew that after all these years, he would become a tall, handsome, wealthy rising star in the business world?

Yu Yaxuan made up a boyfriend to her family to avoid blind dates, but with the New Year approaching, she had no idea how she was going to explain herself when she went home.

When Lu Wenyan heard about it, his eyes lit up.

"Senior, why don't you give me a try?"

Why not?

Yu Yaxuan agreed on impulse.

It was only seven days over New Year, after all. Once the holiday was over, their relationship would naturally end.

But who could have guessed that in just seven days, they'd hold hands, kiss, and even sleep in the same room?!

After the holiday, Yu Yaxuan blocked Lu Wenyan, but before long he appeared in front of her again.

Lu Wenyan: "Senior, why did you block me?"

Yu Yaxuan: "Didn't we agree it would end after seven days? You have to keep your promise."

Lu Wenyan: "You said seven days, but you didn't say how many sets of seven days. I want to selfishly have many more seven-day periods with you in the future. Will you let me?"

Theme: I love you more than I love myself.
