Green-tea, scheming, gloomy younger man x daring older woman who loves to flirt over drinks
[Intense push and pull] [Step-by-step scheming] [Obsessive and clingy]
When Chen Xinru first met Xue Jichen, he was standing in a pet hospital in a black leather jacket, covered in blood. His harmless-looking face was full of anxiety, like a big dog who'd been bullied.
Feeling sorry for him, Chen Xinru paid the bill after the unscrupulous hospital tried to rip him off.
Only later did she realize that
his supposed innocence, helplessness, weakness, and need for protection
were all fake!
This man was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, dangerous and vicious, and he'd set his sights on her.
In a cramped, shadowy corner, his fingertips burned as he leisurely traced her lips and neck...
With her back against the wall, Chen Xinru swallowed nervously and stammered, "You're so much younger than me. This... won't work!"
The man chuckled, a dark glint stirring in his eyes.
"That just makes me more excited."
-
Chen Xinru always thought Xue Jichen was just a clingy puppy.
She'd flirt with him when drunk, and he'd restrain himself. She'd act wild and willful, and he'd go along with everything.
Until one night, with torrential rain pouring down, she watched him stomp his enemy into the mud without a change in expression. When he turned to her, he smiled innocently. "Scared, sis?"
She finally came to her senses, but it was already too late to escape!
Chen Xinru panicked. "What will it take for you to let me go?"
Xue Jichen: "Sis~ You were the one who seduced me first. You have to take responsibility~"
-
At last, the tables turned.
The woman who used to flirt with him only when drunk now showed up at his door every few days, eyes red as she played the victim. "Can I stay with you for one night?"
The roses he'd given her back then were now thrown into his arms, one bouquet at a time. "Xue Jichen, do you still want me?"
But the man only watched coldly, unmoved. Until one day, she finally ran out of ideas.
In the shadows, Xue Jichen slammed his fist into the wall, breathing hard. Damn it! He'd almost lost control...

[Fake incest] [Power scheming] [Groveling pursuit]
With her mother gravely ill and near death, Qiao Muxue had nowhere to turn. A mysterious person stepped in to save her mother and settled her in an unfamiliar villa. There was only one condition: she had to stay here and be good.
The unseen homeowner, a coffee cup still warm, pajamas in just the right size, a light touch on her forehead late at night...
He was everywhere, yet remained hidden in the darkness.
Qiao Muxue thought she was being kept, not knowing that the man in the dark stared with bloodshot eyes as he struggled day after day to resist the urge to destroy her.
-
At a party, her friend pointed out a handsome man in the banquet hall and quietly told her he was an annoying admirer. Qiao Muxue wanted to help her friend get away, so she walked over in her high heels...
The moment she lowered her head, a terrifying darkness surged in the man's eyes!
He grabbed her wrist and dragged her into a pitch-black room. His burning palm covered the back of her delicate neck, and his low voice was laced with ice. "I hadn't even made a move yet... and you came to me on your own?"
"What?" Qiao Muxue looked at him in confusion, her eyes clear and bright.
She thought she could leave whenever she wanted, but she had already fallen into his trap.
-
Only outside a hospital room did she hear with her own ears the man who'd spoiled her rotten say in an icy voice, "I got close to her just to get revenge on you. I want your daughter to know what it feels like to be abandoned."
Only then did she understand. He was her mother's abandoned stepson, and she was the younger sister who had taken his place. All his tenderness, pampering, and late-night gazes were part of a calculated torment!
Qiao Muxue left quietly, leaving behind the bank card and a note: "Thank you for saving my mother. Goodbye, brother."
Later, he searched the entire city, his eyes red as he begged her. "Don't call me brother... please."
She looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Brother, this isn't right."
