Do You Have a Brooding Husband?

Skin Hunger | Dog-Training Romance | Love at First Sight Zhou Xixue is being forced into an overseas arranged marriage. Her fiancé is a mixed-race man who lives abroad. His Chinese name is Jin Yi. Rumor has it that Jin Yi is strange, antisocial, and obsessively controlling. To put it plainly, he’s a “madman.” But the moment Zhou Xixue sees him in person, she is completely captivated by his impeccably sculpted features. As she carefully gets to know this “madman,” she discovers that: He’s dark and twisted, the perfect match for her kink! He’s extremely possessive and won’t let her go out and socialize alone. Perfect, since she has social anxiety! He’s intensely controlling and meddles in everything she eats, wears, and does. Perfect, since she wants to lie flat! He has endless stamina in bed. Perfect, since she’s just as insatiable! One day, Zhou Xixue learns that Jin Yi has always kept someone he deeply loves in his heart. So she takes the initiative to ask for a divorce and prepares to leave. That night, he puts her in leg irons, leaving her no chance to escape. As Jin Yi closes in, Zhou Xixue screams silently: “Help! This is so exciting! I like him even more!” * No one knows that Jin Yi’s vicious relatives destroyed his family. Zhou Xixue, too, has lost everyone she could rely on. By a twist of fate, the two end up together and become each other’s salvation. One day, on a whim, Zhou Xixue tells Jin Yi, “Honey, I want to try being a CEO’s wife, too!” Jin Yi nods. “Okay.” Before long, Zhou Xixue gets her wish and becomes a CEO’s wife. * [Bonus Scene] One night, Jin Yi wakes from a nightmare and pulls Zhou Xixue tightly into his arms, murmuring over and over, “Wifey, you can only love me. You can never leave my side.” Woken by the commotion, Zhou Xixue slaps him. “Now! Lie down! Go to sleep!” Like a well-behaved puppy, Jin Yi obediently closes his eyes. [The male lead is ill; the female lead is his cure] Both leads are sexually inexperienced; fictional foreign setting; marriage before love The female lead isn’t perfect. She wants to lie flat and coast through life, and she’s extremely appearance-obsessed. The male lead is hopelessly devoted to romance. There is no unrequited love for someone else (that’s a misunderstanding in the blurb). He only loves his wife; she is the reason he lives. The male lead’s personality changes dramatically over the course of the story. Read with care. Series pre-release: Wet Heat. Please add it to your collection! Li Shan is sent to stay with the Xie family, where she calls her quasi-stepfather’s son, Xie Pengyue, “Big Brother.” Xie Pengyue is Chinese-German mixed-race, and his family is powerful and influential. He’s kind and excels at everything, seemingly without a flaw. Li Shan deliberately gets close to Xie Pengyue. Only after they secretly get together does she discover that he’s not at all what he seems. He’s obsessive and intensely controlling, wishing he could keep her by his side every moment. “Baby, if you dare bring up breaking up, I’ll lock you in the basement with handcuffs and ankle shackles.” “You can only be mine. We have to be together forever.” “Say again that you love me.” * Xie Pengyue is a complete and utter “madman.” Li Shan can’t bring herself to break up with him, but she has already planned to run far away. On the night before they part, they make love all night. Xie Pengyue ends up kneeling by the bed and proposing to her with heartfelt devotion. “Baby, how about we get our marriage license tomorrow?” Li Shan smiles and agrees. But the very next day, she vanishes without a trace. * They meet again in the depths of winter in Germany. Xie Pengyue’s eyes are unreadable as he steadily closes in. Li Shan is powerless to struggle or resist. After three days and three nights of frenzied entanglement, Xie Pengyue holds her carefully, his voice trembling with the joy of having her back: “Wifey, this game of hide-and-seek isn’t fun at all.” “Please, love me with all your heart just once, okay?” “Even if it’s only once.” Theme: Love yourself well.
