Cherished by Him

[One-on-one romance, both leads are devoted and doting! The heroine is sweet and lovable, the hero is handsome and fierce as a dog.]

After living for eleven centuries, Wei Ci returned to the Liang family after being missing for three years. Waiting for her were her utterly terrible reputation as a fake heiress and the real heiress, who looked strangely familiar...

Wei Ci stared at the real heiress for a few seconds, then suddenly understood.

Of course she looked familiar. She was like looking in a mirror!

This real heiress had copied her persona, learned her smile, and imitated her air...

That very night, the Liang family cut ties with Wei Ci. In an instant, the pitiful Wei Ci... was whisked away by another wealthy family, who cherished her like a precious jewel.

Before long, Wei Ci, once dismissed as a useless, sickly girl, had somehow become a beloved powerhouse, adored from every angle.

The great families all fought to claim her as one of their own, while powerful figures from every walk of life competed to become her siblings, parents, grandparents, even her son!

There was only one person who was different.

The most mysterious and terrifying man wanted only to be Wei Ci's lover in bed and the soul in her heart.

The first time Qiu Mo's illness struck and drove him into a frenzy, no one could treat him.

Wei Ci suddenly appeared and pulled him back from the depths of hell, but he never got a good look at her face.

Qiu Mo, who had likewise never seen Wei Ci clearly, said, “Find her, ask how to treat me, then send her off to a retirement home.”

The second time, Wei Ci spotted the man from afar, surrounded by admirers.

His eyes reminded her of the shadow guard from a thousand years ago, who used to hide in the dark and watch her in secret.

Qiu Mo, who had quietly drawn countless portraits of Wei Ci, said, “No matter how much you look like her, you're not my princess. From the depths of my being to the bottom of my heart, I belong to only one person.”

The Nth time...

Wei Ci secretly prepared to make a run for it. This dog of a man not only looked just like her shadow guard, but also like the powerful minister who had annexed her country!

Qiu Mo closed in menacingly, his eyes dark and turbulent. “I've guarded you for two lifetimes. I've given you the world, power, even my life. How much longer do you plan to keep pretending?”

Qiu Mo was the only tyrannical minister in the history books to unite the realm without ascending the throne. He was also the mysterious head of the Qiu family, famed in the present day for his ruthless methods and immense power.

All the glory of his two lifetimes was created for one person alone.

No one believed he had a heart, much less that he could fall in love.

Until, one day, people saw him kneel on one knee and gently, reverently brush the dust from a girl's hem. They saw him go mad simply because she had been hurt and was bleeding.
