A Relationship of Care [Coercive Possession]

[Another taking-someone-by-force story. Compared to The Rose in the Golden Cage, this one leans more toward old-school melodrama. It's a game of her running and him chasing.]

Ten-year age gap with an older man | taking someone by force | tragic, star-crossed love

Sweet, adorable kitten x domineering daddy-type with an overwhelming need for control

After her biological parents died in a car accident, the young girl lost both of them overnight.

From then on, Huang Ci'en was under Meng Huochuan's care. He watched her grow up. In the blink of an eye, the little girl who had been ten years old was an adult.

Meng Huochuan was the eldest son of the Meng family. He was thirty and unmarried, yet strict about how the girl in his household was raised.

He had done her a great kindness, and he was her elder. Although Huang Ci'en sometimes resisted, she was also afraid of his strict discipline.

Huang Ci'en had been an excellent student since childhood, and she got her wish when she was admitted to the journalism department at Jing University. Her greatest dream was to become a journalist, and Meng Huochuan respected and supported her.

But after she started university, the girl seemed increasingly beyond his control. He felt she had grown up and couldn't be too strict with her, yet he was afraid she might get hurt.

Then one day, the girl told him she had a boyfriend. Meng Huochuan lost control for the first time. "Who gave you permission to fool around with another man without my approval?"

Huang Ci'en didn't understand, and for the first time, she talked back. "Uncle, I'm grown up. I know you're a feudal old fogey, but I'm not. If you think I won't listen to you, I can move out."

He was thirty and unmarried. She didn't want to become an old fossil like him.

Her boyfriend was a classmate, also a journalism student.

Since ancient times, scholars have shared the interests of the common people. They promised that after graduation, they would go together to support the Northwest, build bridges of information, and help develop the region's economy.

But Meng Huochuan stopped her before she could leave and warned her, "En'en, if you dare go, just see whether he makes it out of the Northwest alive."

The uncle who had once doted on and protected her whispered in her ear like a demon. "En'en, you belong to me. I'll be in charge of you for the rest of your life."

Huang Ci'en wasn't a pushover, either. She wasn't so easy to control. To make her boyfriend give in, she personally sent the man to prison.

She thought she could finally rest easy, but on the plane she took to flee to London, she saw the man who was supposed to be in prison.

Meng Huochuan looked at the girl, his bloodthirsty eyes full of possessiveness and greed. "You ungrateful little thing. I raised you all these years for nothing." He raised her, and she had personally sent him to prison.

The tricks he'd taught her for dealing with bad people had all been used against him.

"But, baby, I forgot to tell you, that place is full of my people too."

In the end, the girl was taken back.

Before long, the girl became pregnant.

As a result, Meng Huochuan let his guard down, giving the girl another chance to escape.

She disappeared without a trace once more, taking his child with her.

[Reader's guide]

1. First and only / happy ending / ten-year age gap / marriage first, love later / taking someone by force

2. They get along fairly well at first. There'll be a little friction later, but it ends happily.

3. The male lead is extremely controlling. If that's not your thing, avoid this one. You can go elsewhere, but no name-calling, or you'll go bald.

Premise: Sincerity for sincerity, and the courage to pursue love
