★ Male lead fights to take her for himself / second male lead’s road to winning her back is paved with suffering / a little stalking / stealing her away / age gap

1.

After her parents got into trouble, Yu Sui was sent to live with the Jiang family.

On countless nights haunted by nightmares, Jiang Xubai stayed by her side, holding her hand tightly and soothing her again and again in a gentle voice:

“Your big brother is here. No one will ever bully you again.”

From then on, the girl’s feelings were like crumpled candy wrappers, hidden between the pages of her textbooks, rustling every time she turned a page.

But in the end, that last trace of sweetness faded away after being handled over and over.

On the eve of her twenty-second birthday, she heard him say:

“My family just asked me to look after her.”

“She’ll always be my little sister. There’s no chance of anything else.”

2.

Chao Yujing was Jiang Xubai’s friend, a heaven-blessed darling with the credentials to prove it. Everyone fawned over him, and he was proud and carefree.

It wasn’t until the night after their graduation trip that Yu Sui learned just what a rotten bastard he was.

Tipsy and overcome by desire, she felt a burning softness cover her lips.

Beneath the moonlight, the man’s long, pale fingers brushed past her neck and touched her delicate earlobe.

Again and again, he rubbed it.

Afterward, whenever Yu Sui saw Chao Yujing, she instinctively kept her distance.

But he always pressed closer, leaving her nowhere to hide.

At last, Chao Yujing pinned Yu Sui against a floor-to-ceiling window. Biting her lip, she asked, “Why do you always bully me?”

His lean, muscular arm circled her slender waist. He lowered his head, his breath scorching her ear. “You call this bullying?”

“Little sister.” Her eyes were covered by his tie, and Yu Sui let out a muffled moan. His lazy, roguish voice rang in her ears. “This is service.”

-

Chao Yujing was like moss growing in a damp corner, struggling upward for years in the darkness where no one could see him.

All those years, his jealousy of Jiang Xubai twisted him into a madman.

Gentle and soft-spoken x devoted bastard

Childhood friends | Possessive love | Height difference | Rekindled romance

1.

When Shu Ran was three, Song Hengxu moved into the Shu household.

From then on, she had a childhood friend who made everyone else envious: an older brother who grew up with her.

The young man was cool and reserved, brilliant in every way, with countless admirers and the reputation of a heaven-blessed darling.

No matter how spoiled and mischievous she was, Song Hengxu always took care of everything for her and indulged her. There wasn’t a single flaw to be found in him.

But after he learned about her brief, ill-fated relationship, Song Hengxu began acting strangely.

“Don’t talk to strangers.”

“Don’t date anyone else.”

“Come home every night.”

2.

One evening, Shu Ran got dressed up to go out with her friends, but she never showed up.

When she woke with a splitting headache, she found herself in Song Hengxu’s room.

The eerie moonlight slipping through the curtains cast a heavy shadow across Song Hengxu’s face.

He sat on the edge of the bed, his usually gentle, calm amber eyes roiling with unfamiliar emotions.

All traces of sleep vanished. Shu Ran called out, “Brother...”

“Your brother’s here.” Song Hengxu leaned close and gently licked her earlobe, his voice as tender as ever. “Ranran, don’t go anywhere.”

From then on, all boundaries collapsed, and their days and nights became an endless blur.

3.

When Shu Ran discovered that Song Hengxu’s usual gentleness and composure were all an act, she was so frightened that she packed her things and fled overseas in the middle of the night.

One sunny day, Shu Ran was strolling down a tree-lined campus path with her friends.

Song Hengxu suddenly appeared in front of her.

Her friends, curious about their relationship, asked, “Your boyfriend?”

“No, no,” Shu Ran stammered, her scalp tingling. “He’s my brother...”

“Mm. Good sister, you said you’d only marry your brother when you grew up.”

Song Hengxu replied softly, a cool smile in his refined eyes.

“Let’s go register our marriage right now.”

Refined and cold-hearted x willful girl

“My wife is still young and pure-hearted, easily led astray. These ignorant fools keep hovering around her. It’s fine. They’ll soon learn what happens when you set your sights on another man’s wife.”

From the internet.

[Reader’s Guide]

1. Both leads are each other’s first. The heroine’s boyfriend is just cannon fodder, and he gets kicked to the curb right at the beginning.

2. As the blurb says, the male lead is no good guy: a wolf in sheep’s clothing, possessive, extreme, and obsessed with his little sister. But he loves and spoils her deeply, and she is the only one he loves, body and soul.

3. The setting is fictional, with invented details. Please don’t compare it to real life.

Theme: Be brave enough to express what’s in your heart and pursue happiness.
