Crushed Beneath the Spring Tide

[A fake gentleman who’s a real scoundrel VS a bewitching black lotus; a suave Hong Kong business magnate VS a bankrupt heiress fallen into the gutter] Ying Ruyuan followed her mother into the Bo family, becoming Miss Ying: the most invisible person there, yet the one who drew the most attention. She had no status and was not fit to be seen in public, making her the most beautiful and affordable tool for a marriage alliance. She was too beautiful and too vulnerable, and everyone, young and old, watched her like wolves, using every means to claim her. To protect herself, she took the initiative and provoked Bo Yuheng, the leader of the pack, calling him “Brother Yu” all night. By dawn, she thought they were square and he would keep her safe until she left the Bo family. She never imagined that the man would enter her room night after night, loosen his tie, and bind her with it. “Little sister, payment is due daily.” (Eight-year age gap, wicked older man and innocent little rabbit, unrelated pseudo-siblings, both inexperienced, sweet romance, steamy tension, one-on-one romance, happy ending.)
