Sickly Devotion

[Cool, aloof beauty vs. sweet, soft, genuinely seductive genius]

Gu Huai was a cynical, world-weary, indifferent playboy, yet he was crazily obsessed with Shen Yang. His fierce, almost pathological devotion pulled her out of the darkness, time and time again.

The first time he confessed, she turned him down because he was too young.

So the second time, he confessed in a way that perfectly suited his age:

"Sis, I've never been in a relationship. Will you let me have my first love? A little guy like me is easy to fool."

"..." Has the poor kid gotten delirious with a fever?

"You know my mission is to take your life, right?"

The man replied nonchalantly, "I know. That's why I came right over and offered it to you, didn't I?"

"!!!" Everyone: "Lord Huai! Focus on your career! Aaaaah!"

Much later,

The research achievements of genius scientist Gu Huai were acclaimed around the world. He raised his glass and offered a composed, modest toast.

It turned out he wanted both a career and his girl.

But some people said, "Shen Yang isn't good enough for Gu Huai!"

"Shen Yang comes from a filthy, lowly background. She's nothing but a lackey of the Shen family!"

As luck would have it, the internet dug up Shen Yang's secret identities, one after another, leaving everyone dazzled.

The fickle crowd switched sides in an instant. Now the internet was saying: Gu Huai is all hype. Obviously, Sister Yang is the one helping him!

Gu Huai remained calm. "A smart young man knows the joys of living off his girl. I brought her home ages ago."

Shen Yang: "You're a distinguished chief research scientist. Can you stop acting like some big shot?"

After they married,

He murmured tenderly, "Sis, you're older than me. You'll have to show me how it's done."

Is the little brother easy to fool?

No! He's just really good at pretending!

Shen Yang could sum him up in four words: a gentle beast.
