The Young Lady's Childhood Bridegroom / Later chapters feature a bit of a yandere

Everyone says the youngest daughter of the Bai family is kind and gentle, but sickly.

Raised in the lap of luxury, the young lady has exquisitely sculpted features, as if Nuwa herself carved them.

Whenever she appears at a banquet, she draws plenty of admiring looks.

It's a shame she's so thin and pale. Even as people praise her unfairly beautiful looks, they can't help but feel sorry for her.

But the man who is her nominal older brother isn't nearly as likable.

Unlike Bai Xuqiu's soft, innocent face, his sharp features and piercing eyes make people want to keep their distance.

Some men mutter that he's nothing but an adopted son of the Bai family, and that being allowed to follow Bai Xuqiu is a blessing earned over several lifetimes. They wonder what he's so arrogant about.

But no one knows that in private, the innocent and kind young lady most likes to slap Meng Cong across the face.

And Meng Cong never shows the slightest displeasure, his face full of fawning adoration.

Meng Cong started following Bai Xuqiu when he was thirteen.

His parents had died, and the Bai family took him in and placed him by Bai Xuqiu's side to be raised.

The young lady has a bad temper and does as she pleases, hitting or scolding him whenever she likes. Only when she needs his help does she sweetly call him “Big Brother.”

Eventually, the young lady finally claimed him for herself, and Meng Cong spent lavishly on offerings at the temple to fulfill his vow.

Beneath a golden statue of a god, he clasped his hands together and bowed to each deity in turn.

When he got home, he knelt beside the bed and gently kissed her knees.

Bai Xuqiu woke at his touch and pushed herself upright.

“You can't keep me locked up forever. Give me back my phone!”

Meng Cong smiled, his voice gentle. “What would you like for dinner? I'll make it for you.”

○ Three-year age gap. Neither lead is genuinely kind and pure. The heroine bullies the hero, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing.

○ The hero is devoted to her in every way and treats only her best.

○ Happy ending. The heroine's family won't go bankrupt, and the fortune belongs to her.

Manipulative, gloomy man x steel-nerved, oblivious woman

After her college entrance exams, Xu Youyi is assigned by her father to intern at his company.

As it happens, Mu Sishen, the son of her father's boss, is also interning there.

Xu Youyi and Mu Sishen were classmates for one year in their senior year of high school. They rarely interacted, but Mu Sishen was exceptionally well-mannered and always treated people with the warmth of a gentle breeze. He could be friends with anyone.

On their first day as interns, Mu Sishen takes the initiative to greet Xu Youyi and brings her favorite snacks. He quietly draws closer to her, keeping other men from interacting with her.

He even thoughtfully walks her home, and always seems to have whatever she needs in his pocket.

Xu Youyi thinks Mu Sishen is a good person.

Mu Sishen's possessiveness toward Xu Youyi grows stronger and stronger, but she doesn't notice at all.

Until one day, while visiting Mu Sishen's home, Xu Youyi accidentally finds a beautiful European-style box. Inside are all the things she used during her senior year of high school.

There's even a huge bundle of empty pen refills.

Mu Sishen happens to see her discovery. He decides there's no point hiding it anymore. His face turns dark and brooding, no longer gentle.

He approaches Xu Youyi one step at a time. Hearing his footsteps behind her, she turns with an innocent smile. “Mu Sishen, I didn't realize you were so rich and liked collecting junk too.”

Yes, her junk. He treasures it like a priceless collection.
