Spoiling Yuyu

[A delicate girl with a tragic past x an older man who fiercely protects his own]

(One-on-one romance, both untouched, mutual healing, restrained devotion, raising a delicate flower. The male lead is sharp-tongued and ruthless, but only toward the villains who have bullied her. No angst!)

At eighteen, Song Yu thought she was going to die in the dark stairwell of Wutong Alley. But someone came through the raging storm and carried her away from the abyss.

Back then, she thought to herself: He saved her, so she would spend her whole life repaying him.

Cui Dujin traveled a great distance to bring Song Yu back to his home and hide her away. He doted on her, protected her, and stood up for her. He fed her during the day and massaged her legs at night.

A friend asked him, "Are you really going to marry her?"

Cui Dujin answered with composure, "The elders are pressuring me."

Later, the little girl he had pampered revealed her sweet dimples, her eyes full of longing. "Brother, I think I've fallen in love with a man. I want to be with him for the rest of my life!"

His friend teased him, "Well, Second Young Master Cui, the girl you raised wants to get married. As her family, be sure to prepare a generous dowry."

That night, Cui Dujin went home, pulled her firmly into his arms, and pressed his forehead against her shoulder, his voice bitter.

"Yu Yu, could you share a little of your love with me?"

The famously unruly Second Young Master Cui had personally turned a fragile little white flower into a dazzling rose.
