Forbidden flirtation, nine-year age gap, powerful man steals another man's fiancee and becomes the other man for love

Pei Yan had strikingly beautiful features and had known how to act sweet and obedient since childhood. Her parents had high hopes for her and spared no expense in raising her.

As soon as she reached marriageable age, they arranged her engagement to the Qin family, one of Shanghai's most powerful families.

To ensure an easy married life, Pei Yan patiently tried to get to know the playboy eldest son, but he couldn't stand her.

As it happened, Pei Yan also found him dull, so she could only humor him on the surface.

At a charity gala, her fiance brought her along.

Unaccustomed to such occasions, Pei Yan slipped into the garden for some air. After finishing his business, her fiance came after her, furious. "You really are an embarrassment! Is this how the Pei family raised you?"

"And how did the Qin family raise you?"

Pei Yan was about to retort when a deep, mellow male voice came from beside the window, carrying an unquestionable authority beneath its casual tone. "Is that how they raised a disgrace like you?"

The evening breeze stirred the white curtains. In the dim room, the tall man seated inside glanced over, and Pei Yan's usually brash fiance bent over in trepidation.

"Uncle." The eldest Qin son, who had just been so rude to Pei Yan, nervously tugged at her sleeve and quietly reminded her, "Greet him!"

"...Hello, Uncle." Pei Yan obediently lowered her head to greet him, unaware of the dark desire in the man's gaze.

-

On the most humiliating day of her life, Pei Yan met the dignified and stern head of the Qin family.

As she called him Uncle with her lips, she thought to herself: If she's destined to marry into the Qin family, why can't she marry someone else instead?

Pei Yan lifted her head and smiled at him, catching a fleeting look of avoidance in his eyes.

This uncle...

Didn't seem as resistant as she'd imagined to his nephew's fiancee getting close to him.

-

The day the eldest Qin son decided to break off the engagement in public, he was looking forward to a good show.

But he never expected his usually composed uncle to slowly rise in front of everyone's horrified eyes and pull the woman who was supposed to be the laughingstock into his arms. His voice was calm and indifferent as he said, "Break off the engagement? Fine."

"While you're at it, come and pay your respects to your elder."

-

After their relationship grew closer, "Uncle" became a pet name Pei Yan couldn't break herself of.

But Qin Jinnan was not at all pleased with it.

"You got it wrong." He held the woman sitting on his lap tighter, the corners of his lips curling as he asked slowly, "What should you call me?"

Pei Yan's whole body had gone limp, even her fingers trembling, but she still summoned all her strength, tugged his tie loose, and gritted out, "O-old geezer..."

"Such a naughty girl." Qin Jinnan chuckled and held her steady. "Looks like I'll have to teach you a few more times."

A seasoned hunter, Qin Jinnan used himself as bait and laid a web of traps, waiting for the prey he desired to step into his territory of her own accord.

He was patient, and always believed that this newly successful hunter, nestled in his arms, would stay by his side forever.

In this secret game of seduction, he was her prey and her accomplice.
