[Ongoing: The full manuscript of I Dare Not Have Wind is complete. Blurb at the end]
# Down-on-her-luck heiress returning home x scheming, devoted adopted son of a wealthy family
# He falls for her first / the self-restrained one loses control
[Blurb]
The first time Lin You'an saw that stray dog, he looked soaked and cold, standing with his head bowed before her father, hoping for a bite to eat.
The twelve-year-old young lady stood behind her tall father, her delicate porcelain-like face peeking out as she watched him with curiosity and wariness.
Years later, You'an returns home in dire straits.
The rain is about to stop when Lin Mingxiu comes to pick her up.
"Dad asked me to look after you for now. If you need anything, just say the word."
"You call him Dad too," Lin You'an gives a soft laugh. "Should I apologize for getting in the way of you following him around and wagging your tail?"
The wind from the harbor blows her long hair into disarray.
Lin Mingxiu looks at her for two seconds, then calmly opens the car door for her.
Rain blows in at an angle, wetting the hem of her skirt. She suddenly remembers the boy who once stood there in such a sorry state. Now, she should call him Brother Mingxiu.
She wonders if the stray dog ever thought of biting her once he grew fangs.
Later, at a Lin family banquet crowded with the elite, Lin Mingxiu becomes the object of every guest's attempts to curry favor. The whole family basks in the glory, yet they search everywhere and cannot find him.
In the unlit study on the third floor, he has You'an trapped in his arms, kissing her.
--
He knows her heart belongs to someone else, yet he is still willing to spend his whole life gazing up in silence, hoping for a little moonlight.

1.
When Zhou Xitang watched herself run aground, she met Meng Yuzhi.
At the time, she was about to marry into wealth and was on the verge of her life's MVP moment.
Yet she felt like a black whale stranded on the beach, slowly rotting away.
Meng Yuzhi handed her a lemon-scented tissue and played the leading man in her work.
He asked cautiously if she thought he'd done a good job,
not knowing that every leading man she wrote had been modeled after him.
2.
Meng Yuzhi is widely known in the entertainment industry as a gentleman of impeccable character.
When roles are taken from him, rumors are spread about him, and he is vilified, he simply smiles it off, his emotions always steady.
But that night, he smashed the floor-to-ceiling window in Zhou Xitang's apartment.
At the time, Zhou Xitang was pinned against the window by Shen Jinchuan, with fireworks lighting up the entire city in celebration of them.
It was five days before their wedding.
Afterward, he rushed upstairs and, amid the mess Shen Jinchuan had left behind,
found Zhou Xitang typing out a letter calling off the engagement, one word at a time.
3.
The wedding is canceled. Zhou Xitang calmly tidies up the mess.
At a script read-through, she runs into Meng Yuzhi. The two champions of keeping their distance shake hands and say, "Looking forward to working with you."
Afterward, Meng Yuzhi corners her in the car.
She watches helplessly as desire glimmers in his eyes and his gentlemanly persona completely crumbles.
He takes the hand she habitually uses to cover her eyes, pulls it away, and raises it above her head, refusing to let her look away.
His loss of control and possessiveness are reserved exclusively for her.
4.
Meng Yuzhi's search history:
How to be a good male actor
How male actors can improve their virtue
How to become a well-rounded actor, excellent in both art and character
How to steal a capitalist's fiancée
Waiting for answers online. It's urgent.
Theme: Love yourself.
I got [Orange Candy], it's really nice. I like this kind of emotional story, very sincere and touching. The author, cheers, cheers, cheers
When will the boss [turned into] be updated 🐰
It's a pity not to see the marriage
Manual star eye. Finished spreading flowers!
Still too little, not enough to see
I came across the tweet last night and read it intermittently now. I feel that the male and female protagonists in this article are not double arrows in the traditional sense. This is more practical. They always like each other too little. There is not much ink about the male protagonists who appear. The female protagonist does not interact with the male protagonist just to piss off the male protagonist. This is particularly good. I like this kind of character who knows that he is the male and female protagonist but not to praise the male and female protagonist. Each character has his own soul. We may not understand what the protagonist is not satisfied with from such a wealthy family. This disease is very hypocritical. In fact, if a child from a well-off family has a psychological problem, it does not mean that money can cover everything. Problems that belong to human nature are all common.
[Orange Candy] I caught the author and update it soon.
After all the hardship comes happiness. Don't even ask to play the piano
[Orange Candy] I got it. I love you so much 💪
Necks are shameful hahaha 😏
