Excessive Dependency Syndrome

[E/O story] A beautiful baby who is sweet, stubborn, sensitive, and a crybaby × an overbearing, fiercely protective daddy with a strong need for control On his sixth birthday, Mu An is brought to the Mo family. On his first night in the beautiful castle, little Mu An has a nightmare alone in the huge, empty room. As he curls up in bed and cries quietly, a tall figure appears beside him in the darkness. The figure gently lifts him from the bed, wipes his tear-streaked little face, and changes the sheets for fresh, soft ones. That night, Mu An sleeps in the master bedroom, taking up only a tiny corner of the big bed. He sleeps soundly, without a dream. * Mo Shiyan, heir to the Mo family. He has been both father and mother to Mu An since he was little, keeping him on a strict leash and raising him with care. When Mu An presents as an Omega ahead of schedule, Mo Shiyan protects him as if he were his own eyes. When Mu An starts school, Mo Shiyan turns down a business engagement to attend the parent-teacher meeting. When Mu An boards at school, Mo Shiyan visits him late at night after returning from a business trip. When a teacher criticizes Mu An for getting too close to an Alpha, Mo Shiyan narrows his eyes, then calmly takes him home. Just like when he was little, Mo Shiyan holds him and gently reassures him, explaining the dangers of Alpha pheromones. But Mu An knows he is no longer a child. * Later, Mu An chooses to study abroad. They meet again when he is having a great time drinking at a bar with his classmates, several of whom are Alphas. In his drunken haze, Mu An sees Mo Shiyan standing in the dim light behind him, staring at him with a dark expression. Mo Shiyan coldly forces him to come home. Mu An can smell Mo Shiyan’s pheromones. “Mu An, you really love to party, don’t you?” They haven’t seen each other in a long time, and the pressure in Mo Shiyan’s stern features is even more intense than before. “Come on. I’ll show you a good time myself.” 1. The top is nine years older, and there’s a significant difference in both height and build. 2. Both are physically and emotionally each other’s first. Their romantic relationship begins after they are both adults. 3. No children in the main story. Please add the upcoming book to your library, too! I Found a Baby and Raised Him into My Wife A beautiful, pampered little terror × a controlling, old-fashioned father figure Huo Chen has no parents. He scrapes by in the mud like a stray dog. Though he can barely support himself, the boy still brings home a tiny, exquisitely cute child during a blizzard. He raises him for eighteen years. Winters in the village are bitterly cold, the wind cutting like knives. The earthen house leaks from every side. Huo Chen wraps the only thick blanket around his younger brother Huo Yi and holds him all night, warming his icy feet. “Stay close to ge. Ge’s warm.” Huo Chen hauls cement, works down in the mines, and carries bricks to build roads. He works three jobs in a day, until exhaustion leaves him sick in the snow. The money he earns goes toward nourishing supplements, pure cotton clothes, and the nice schoolbags and building blocks that other kids have. The villagers gossip that Huo Chen has lost his mind, raising some random kid from who-knows-where like royalty. Only Huo Chen knows how Huo Yi used his thin, childish shoulders to drag him home, inch by inch, after he collapsed that day. The endless trail winding through the snow was like a vine leading to salvation, binding the two lonely boys together. * Later, Huo Chen risks his life to rise through the ranks and carve out a place for himself. Everyone thinks President Huo is cold-blooded, ruthless, and merciless, until they hear crashing and smashing from the top-floor office. Huo Yi smashes an antique worth a fortune to pieces. “Who told you to cancel my plane ticket? Huo Chen, you bastard!” Huo Chen isn’t angry. He loosens his tie and goes over to bandage the cut on Huo Yi’s hand. “You have to discuss going abroad with me. Did I say you could go?” Huo Yi can’t stand how controlling he is. Huo Chen has been strict with him since they were kids. He has to let Huo Chen know before going out, before hanging out with friends, and especially if he gets close to a classmate. Even a real dad wouldn’t keep such close tabs on his kid. They can’t see eye to eye, so Huo Yi turns and slams the door as he leaves. But that night, Huo Chen drags him home from a bar. Riding on the alcohol, Huo Yi trembles with red eyes and raises the hand still wearing his tie to swing at Huo Chen’s stern face. “I’m going, and I’m grown up! What gives you the right to restrict my freedom? I hate you!” Huo Chen holds him tight, his voice hoarse. “Hate me.” “But do you remember who used to cling to my leg as a kid, crying and saying he loved his gege most?” Once you bring him home, you’re responsible for him for life. A rags-to-riches story about raising a baby, with two bitter little loners depending on each other. The blurb may still be revised. Theme: I want you to be healthy and safe.
