[Female Student VS Powerful Hong Kong Tycoon / Pseudo Uncle and Niece]

[Eleven-Year Age Gap / Old Flame Rekindled / Secret Love Comes True / One-on-One / Male Lead Is Chaste]

1.

When Ming Yang was sixteen, Huo Zhaolin took over as her sponsor.

Pushed forward by her uncle and aunt, who were desperately trying to curry favor, the frail girl lowered her eyes and stood before Huo Zhaolin.

She wore a blue dress washed until it had faded. Her collarbones jutted out, three red marks stood out on her thin forearm, and her legs were spindly beneath her. Dry, yellow hair hid most of her face.

Huo Zhaolin gazed at the top of her head. "Would you like to come with me?"

Ming Yang looked up, her beautiful black eyes shining brilliantly. "Mr. Huo, I would."

"From now on, call me Uncle Huo."

Later, he taught her Cantonese and etiquette, sent her to a prestigious school, and turned her from a dust-covered pearl into the brightest flower in Hong Kong's elite circles.

2.

At her graduation ceremony at twenty-three, she stands at a podium before thousands, wearing the designer gown Huo Zhaolin gave her.

But when she rushes toward him clutching her diploma, she sees his Rolls-Royce parked at the Peninsula Hotel, picking up his fiancee, who has just returned to Hong Kong from America.

At Lan Kwai Fong, the slightly tipsy girl smiles brightly at a man trying to chat her up. Huo Zhaolin rushes over and yanks her into his arms so hard that her wrist aches.

Taking advantage of her drunkenness, the girl presses her damp lips against his burning Adam's apple. "Mr. Huo, can you please not get married?"

The hand at her lower back goes rigid. After a moment, he says, "Yang Yang, I'm your uncle. We can't be together."

She is a jacaranda in full bloom, while he is already over thirty. The age gap and the difference in their status are insurmountable.

3.

From then on, Ming Yang disappears from his world completely.

Huo Zhaolin keeps his composure, but on a rainy night, he tears apart the photo someone hands him. He sees the girl he raised and spoiled with his own hands, holding a blond young man's hand, their fingers intertwined.

His private jet cuts through the Sydney night as Huo Zhaolin knocks on the apartment door.

The door opens. The blond young man has just called him Uncle when Huo Zhaolin brushes past him, wraps an arm tightly around Ming Yang, and kicks the door shut.

He pins her against the wall and kisses her fiercely, his lips and teeth filled with a world-shattering possessiveness.

A moment later, Huo Zhaolin presses his lips to her earlobe and scoffs. "Who's your uncle, hmm? Does he know you've kissed your uncle?"

[A High-and-Mighty Beauty Anyone Can Have / Age Gap / Carefully Scheming to Steal Her Away]

[Beijing Power Broker ✖️ Beautiful, Ambitious Woman]

Since childhood, Lan Zhi and her younger sister have never gotten along. Anything Lan Zhi liked was taken from her.

Her boyfriend was taken from her too.

When Lan Zhi sees her sister flirting and being intimate with him, her heart clenches and a wave of disgust rises in her.

When she hears that her sister is dead, shock gives way to a secret thrill.

She actually feels relieved.

Everyone in their circle is saying that Tan Simo, the youngest person in power in the capital, has recently started dating someone.

The man is always shrewd and ruthless, cool toward everyone, yet he dotes on that girl like no other.

Everyone is curious: what kind of girl could make someone as untouchable as Tan Simo willing to lower his head?

Later, someone finally gets the chance to learn that the girl is called Lan Zhi.

Someone else catches a glimpse of Tan Simo in the back seat of a black Rolls-Royce, indulging Lan Zhi in his arms. The way he looks down at her is filled with an undisguised, addictive desire.

Later still, people hear that the young woman wants to go to Iceland at midnight to see the northern lights, and then wants to run off to Trafalgar Square to feed pigeons. Tan Simo puts work aside and agrees to each request.

Everyone thinks the two of them are about to make it official.

At last, someone asks Lan Zhi directly. The girl only smiles for some reason.

She knows they will never have a future together.

Because Tan Simo is her boyfriend's uncle.

Bonus scene:

On the vast African grasslands, the setting sun turns the sky golden red. A black off-road vehicle is parked in a secluded spot.

Tan Simo pins Lan Zhi against his chest, holding her captive in his palm. Her breathing is unsteady, and a patch of red marks shows above her collarbone.

He bends down, his nose brushing her red lips, close yet not quite touching.

Unable to bear it, Lan Zhi lifts her chin to chase his mouth. Tan Simo turns aside, evading her and refusing to give her what she wants.

"Please... kiss me," Lan Zhi begs, the corners of her eyes red.

The man pinches her chin between his fingers, his breath scorching hot, and makes her look at him. "Will you still dare to leave without a word next time?"

Lan Zhi presses her lips to his and draws them into her mouth. "No... Mm..."

#Lan Zhi thinks she's always one step ahead, never realizing that Tan Simo has been setting the stage for her from the very beginning#

#She is desire, and he has been addicted all along#
