The Big Shot's Gloomy, Fragile Darling

[The daily life of an aloof, abstinent young master being turned around by a dark, brooding girl]

Xia Lingqi loved Qi Nan for three years, and feared him for three years too.

She was gloomy, insecure, and obsessively devoted, like a poisonous mushroom in a corner that everyone avoided.

Then Qi Nan arrived at her senior year of high school and became her desk mate.

She thought he would always be untouchable, until one day she discovered that all of this top tycoon's aloofness was an act.

He would secretly sew her name into his clothes, sit all afternoon in the milk tea shop where she worked, and casually ruin someone's future when they bullied her.

Eventually, Xia Lingqi stopped pretending.

She leaned close to his ear under the cover of night, her breath brushing his earlobe. "Qi Nan, you protect me like this. Are you hoping I'll cling to you for the rest of my life?"

Qi Nan's restraint instantly crumbled. He grabbed the back of her head. "Xia Lingqi, you've been mine for a long time."

Later, when her wealthy family background came to light, people asked how she could possibly be worthy of the Qi family.

Qi Nan put an arm around her waist, his gaze icy. "It's not that she's worthy of me. I'm the one begging her to have me."
