Coercive Possession | High Status and Power | The Powerful One Bows His Head

[Gentlemanly, Brooding Ghost of a Man x Radiant Heiress]

Before Lin Yue met Gu Huaichen, she had already heard his name around their social circle.

Among the elite of Yancheng, he was the easiest to get along with.

After spending time together several times,

Lin Yue thought so too.

She even believed they were more compatible in every way than anyone she had ever known.

What Lin Yue didn't know was that, at a banquet, an old family friend of the Gu family had half-jokingly said that Gu Huaichen was actually the most dangerous one among them all.

"Why? He seems really easy to talk to."

The Qi family's young master smiled meaningfully and slowly replied, "Because he's good at pretending."

Lin Yue knew nothing of this.

Not until the day she accidentally saw the obsession and cruelty buried in Gu Huaichen's bones, beneath his gentlemanly facade.

It turned out that, from beginning to end, everything had been a trap Gu Huaichen had laid for her.

-

The day she asked to break up, Lin Yue crouched in the bedroom, packing her luggage.

Gu Huaichen stood expressionlessly in the doorway, his eyes full of control and warning fixed on her every move.

"Are you sure you want to leave?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Lin Yue straightened up, irritated by his attitude. "You were lying to me from the moment you approached me, weren't you?"

"You were the one who lied to me first. I think we need to separate and take some time to cool off."

Gu Huaichen fondly hooked a strand of Lin Yue's hair around his finger, winding it around and around as he spoke in a slow, eerie murmur. "Lin Yue, can you really bear to leave me?"

"What a shame."

He lowered his eyes calmly, his unfathomable dark gaze filled with a chilling, ghostly aura.

"What makes you think I'd agree to let you leave?"

-- 1v1, sc, he

[Black-Bellied Bastard x Illegitimate Daughter Who Plays the Fool]

When news broke of an alliance through marriage between Yancheng's top tycoons, the Zhou and Li families, it took up an entire page of the business headlines.

But no one expected Li Hengchuan, the Li family's next head, to choose the Zhou family's illegitimate daughter.

"It doesn't matter who the marriage partner is." Li Hengchuan didn't even glance at her. He carelessly shredded her profile, his manner brazen and indifferent.

All he wanted was the status of an illegitimate daughter: someone easily controlled and incapable of making waves.

But Zhou Qinzhuo truly loved Li Hengchuan, and had for many, many years.

-

It wasn't until their third year of marriage that Zhou Qinzhuo got her shares in the Zhou family.

She quietly left behind a divorce agreement and walked away without looking back.

She thought three years would at least let them part on good terms, but she hadn't expected Li Hengchuan to be a madman.

It was as if she were meeting him for the first time.

The man cut off every escape route and forced her to bow her head and beg him.

In the familiar villa, Li Hengchuan pulled her close and gripped her chin.

"You used me and now you want to run?"

"Zhou Qinzhuo, who gave you the nerve?"

-- 1v1, sc, he
