Taken by a Scheming Gentleman

[Blurb not finished yet... I'll revise it some more.]

Because of her outstanding grades, Jian Xuepo is admitted to Dewo Academy as a special-entry student. It is a prestigious boarding school.

Its students are all rich or powerful, arrogant and ill-mannered. The infamous F4 wield enormous wealth and influence; even at this school, they are the cream of the crop.

And special-entry students are at the very bottom of the food chain.

Before entering the school, Jian Xuepo is sternly warned to stay away from the privileged students. As a special-entry student, she has no intention of doing anything so foolish, of course.

However, this pale-skinned, beautiful, aloof student soon catches the attention of the bored aristocratic students.

The peaceful school life she imagined vanishes completely. Locked bathroom stalls, textbooks that go missing, and those sinister, ill-intentioned faces... Jian Xuepo can put up with all of that.

But the sticky, snake-like gazes from the shadows, the personal clothes that keep disappearing, the anonymous, perverted love messages on her phone... Jian Xuepo can no longer tell herself they are just accidents.

When she returns to her dorm, a handsome blond, blue-eyed man smiles and holds out his hand. "Will you accept my help?"

Lionel Blair, the undisputed center of power at this school, a courteous gentleman, and the kindest, most polite of her classmates...

But Jian Xuepo has seen the coldness and boredom in his eyes. She doesn't believe Lionel would truly help her, and she's afraid she might become his plaything without even realizing it... even though Lionel really is very good to her.

Until Jian Xuepo discovers that the sticky, snake-like gazes from the shadows, the personal clothes that keep disappearing, and the anonymous, perverted love messages on her phone... all come from this gentle gentleman.

"So you've found me out." Lionel smiles and bends down in front of Jian Xuepo. "What are you going to do now, my dear Snow?"

At last, the gentleman tears off his mask in front of Jian Xuepo, revealing fangs dripping with venom.

A seemingly gentle, gentlemanly, scheming and obsessive male lead × a cool, delicate, innocent-looking female lead.

Reader's Guide:

★ A classic, resilient beauty with a delicate, innocent air, and a touch of a universally adored heroine.

★ May have some dark melodrama, coercive courtship, and both leads are virgins.

★ Not recommended for readers with extreme character preferences. No unsolicited writing advice.

★ Do not split or reverse the dream pairing, or assign characters to others. Doing so will trigger a gift pack of deleted comments.

Theme: Rather than expecting others to care about you, pay more attention to yourself.
