Bad Dog [Beijing Circle]

[Ruthless, roguish young lord from Beijing's elite circles x Clear-eyed, headstrong college student]

In Yanbei, Gu Xiuchen was notorious as a vicious hound.

He was a powerful young heir from one of the four great families, yet he was also a reckless playboy and exceptionally cruel.

The first time she saw him was at a yacht party, where everyone was clapping to celebrate his birthday.

Someone mentioned that it was also her birthday, and Zhu Xihuai was pushed forward.

He leaned against the bar, his gaze lazy and faintly malicious as he sized her up.

"Have a drink with me, or jump in. Pick one."

Without a word, she leaped into the sea.

As the cold seawater swallowed up all the noise, he jumped in himself and hauled her back out.

"You've got quite a temper. What would it hurt to bow your head?"

Gu Xiuchen gripped her chin, a dangerous smile in his eyes.

Everyone in the capital said that the Gu family's playboy had finally fallen in love for real.

He caged this disobedient canary, keeping her trapped with the cruelest tenderness.

The more stubborn she was, the more obsessed he became.

In the dark of night, she bit down hard on her lip, refusing to make a sound.

"Be good. Don't hold back." He kissed the corner of her eye. "Say you like me."

"I won't."

Gu Xiuchen smiled and slowly forced her lips apart.

"Little mute, we've got all night to take our time."

Content warning:

1. Genuine coercion, the kind where the male lead violates the female lead's wishes. The male lead is truly cruel, so don't read if that's not for you.

2. A writing exercise full of sexual tension, melodrama, and intense conflict.
