【Cold-faced, gentle uncle × rebellious crybaby】
After more than a decade of depending on each other, Wan Shuangshuang climbed into his bed.
Pinned in a corner, her petite body trembled. Her doe-like eyes flickered with alarm, yet she still reached out with shaking hands and wrapped them around his shoulders.
“Please love me, Uncle.”
One night of passion.
Wan Shuangshuang basked in the happiness she had won through courage, imagining the day she would stand by his side in a wedding dress. Then she suddenly realized that the place in his heart had always belonged to someone else.
“I took your lies as promises and thought you really didn’t love her.”
“This time, I’m the one who doesn’t want you anymore.”
She ran away, choosing to end their decade-long bond with her own hands.
On the eve of the wedding, Bai Jiangheng, usually cold and composed, a man in a position of power, heard the news as he gazed into the deep darkness outside the window. The flame at his fingertips burned his skin, but he felt nothing.
Three years later, his darling returned, and Bai Jiangheng humbled himself, spoiling her every day.
But he forgot the words she had said long ago: she didn’t want him anymore.
(Mutual pining + both leads’ first love + faux forbidden romance + age gap)
If happiness were an invention, it could easily be invented again and again
