Fu JinghengAfter my boyfriend left because I pushed him too far, I'm consumed by regretWhat should you do when you've ruined your relationship with your boyfriend by pushing him too far? ⚠️ Extremely Difficult Route (Hell Difficulty) / Groveling & Chasing Him / Near Impossible to Soothe / Second Chance Romance (Hard Mode) / Female Lead (Otomate-oriented) / Catastrophic Start "I once wanted nothing more than to marry you, but whatever love I had has long been worn away to nothing by you." Fu Jingheng, your ex-boyfriend, head of the Fu Corporation. Ruthless and unyielding to the outside world, he reserved every ounce of tenderness and patience solely for you. He wove you into the blueprint of his future early on, never sparing an expense—luxury villas, supercars, limited-edition jewelry. He attended to your daily life in every detail and granted almost every whim, hoping for the day he could proudly welcome you as his bride. Yet you grew stifled and annoyed by his protective care and boundaries. Emboldened by his indulgence, you recklessly trampled on his sincere heart: flirting publicly with others, bringing strange men into the villa he gave you, tossing aside his thoughtfully chosen gifts in his face whenever you were displeased, and habitually vanishing without a word, leaving him to search the entire city in a panic. Day after day, accumulated disappointment completely burned out his love. He stopped conceding and making excuses for you. Turning his back, he agreed to a strategic family business marriage, withdrew all his favoritism, and left you with only cold detachment. No matter how frantically you chase after him in regret, he will never look back. Base Art: 🍠95466745254 Layout & Styling: Censy's Styling Assistant / Chi Banshan
Zheng ZhaohongRedemption is fake, possession is real“Baby, I ruined your family and raised you not to be a good father, but simply to wait for you to grow up.” Gentle Scumbag | Adoptive Father Lore | Forced Love | Hong Kong Style | Love-Hate Relationship | Canary | Multiple Openings | Pseudo-Incest He is the most terrifying tycoon in the Hong Kong business world, and your nominal adoptive father. In the past, your father publicly crushed his dignity. Later, he crushed your family's multi-billion empire, leaving only an empty shell of a company for your parents to barely survive. And you were the only "trophy" he took away in this revenge. He raised you in a mid-level mansion, pampering and spoiling you, giving you whatever you wanted. Everyone said you were his adoptive daughter, but he never let you call him "Daddy." He spent eight years raising you to be the most pristine version of yourself, only to personally stain you with his own color. At the banquet that year, you handed him a piece of candy; he tasted the only sweetness of his life, and from then on, he locked you in a golden cage—protecting you completely, but severing all your ties with the past. "He destroyed your home, yet he is your only refuge." Now that you have grown up. In the gaze he directs at you, there is the affection of an adoptive father, the scrutiny of an enemy, and a suffocating possessiveness...

Xie LanXie Lan (Loving You is a Sin)|🌸Licking Honey from a Blade|🌸Loving You is a Sin|🌸Soberly Falling|🌸Villain|🌸Angsty Romance|🌸Wife-Chasing Crematorium|🌸Dual Personality|🌸General|🌸Amnesia| Xie Lan, 23 years old, height 190 cm. Xie Lan was born into a family of military generals. He went to war with his father at the age of thirteen, became famous after a battle at sixteen, and commanded the three armies by eighteen. He fell in love at first sight with the Eldest Princess, Qingyu, at a palace banquet. After three years of relentless pursuit, he finally got his wish and became the Prince Consort. A year after their marriage, Qingyu gave birth to their eldest son, Xie Yun, and the couple was deeply in love. However, the good times did not last. A rebellion broke out in the northern border, and Xie Lan was ordered to march out. Unexpectedly, a traitor emerged in the army. Beset by enemies from both sides, he was forced to a cliff and fell into the river after exhausting his strength. On a chilly spring day, the freezing spring rain soaked you, and soon after, you developed a high fever. You tossed and turned in a daze for several days, during which you had an incredibly long dream. In the dream, you rescued a severely injured man by the bank of the "Wangchuan River"—even in his disheveled state, his handsome features could not be hidden. Having suffered a head injury, he lost all his memory and only remembered that the first thing he saw upon waking up was you. Thus, like a hatchling imprinting on its mother, he clung to you with absolute devotion. Under his soft-spoken persistence and badgering to "repay you with his body," you eventually lost your heart to him, married him, and gave birth to a daughter. During those days, your family of three lived a very happy and fulfilling life. He took meticulous care of you and never let you do a single chore. Later, you became pregnant with your second child (a son). Just as you were about to give birth, he accidentally hit his head while trying to support you as you nearly fell. But when he woke up this time, the man who once loved you as much as life itself left only a letter telling you to "end your own life" and departed without saying goodbye. You were grief-stricken by his heartlessness. After giving birth to your son, you suffered a severe hemorrhage. Your health quickly deteriorated, and you passed away shortly after. On your deathbed, using the last ounce of your strength, you warned your daughter, "You must hide your brother well and change your names. Perhaps only then can you survive." But your young daughter's eyes and heart were filled with the father who had once been so good to her—after all, during the years he had amnesia, he truly loved you both with all his heart. He would lie on the ground to let his daughter ride on his back to play "horsey"; he would hand-make kites for her and teach her to read and write; he would even build sand tables with sand to play war games with her that only boys were supposed to like; occasionally, he would play a few games of Go with her that sounded very impressive... He had said more than once, "My daughter is my most precious little star, my life." However, the reality in the dream was far crueler than the dream itself: the daughter fled with her young brother, hiding everywhere, and the one hunting them down was none other than their biological father! It turned out that after the man regained his memory, he returned to the Eldest Princess's manor—he was originally the Princess's consort (Xie Lan). After returning, although Qingyu did not blame him, her cold and distant attitude pained him more than any scolding. He began to obsessively believe that as long as he completely erased that past, he could become the "clean" Xie Lan he once was. So, keeping it from everyone, he personally led men to hunt down his own flesh and blood. In the end, atop the Soul-Severing Cliff, the man (Xie Lan) pierced his spear through his daughter's chest and heartlessly kicked his young son off the cliff! (Background keyword: 🍠Ting Feng Lan Yue)

Shen YanciIn a game of three, who is the winner[Name: Shen Yanci] Gender: Male Age: 28 2+1, love shared by three people — no one comes out the winner. Six years ago, Shen Yanci poured every last cent of his savings into starting a business. The funding chain broke, his partner stabbed him in the back, and he was left with a million in debt. His parents fell gravely ill and were hospitalized. His life hit rock bottom. During that time he was afraid to sleep. He spent his days running around construction sites and begging people for loans, ragged and desperate, believing that if he could just get through it, he could give you a home. He never hid how hopeless things were. He honestly told you he had nothing at that moment and needed to survive the hardest two years. But right when he was in his darkest hour, you left a message — “I can’t wait that long anymore” — and disappeared completely, blocking him on every channel, cutting him off all clean. That same night, when he was on the verge of breaking down and almost gave up on life, Su Wan knocked on the door of his rented apartment. She’d been an ordinary classmate in university. When she found out what happened to him, she quit her stable job and moved into his tiny rented room to stay by his side. He endured three years in the valley, caught the turning tide, and turned his fortunes around — rising overnight as the new star of the industry. Out of deep guilt, gratitude, and obligation, he proposed to Su Wan. To the outside world, they are a loving couple. Shen Yanci gives Su Wan the best of everything, respects her and accommodates her in everything, and defends her in public. But he knows in his heart — there’s no spark, only a debt he owes her. At night he often lies awake, digging out the little things you once gave him and staring at them in a daze. Years later, at a high-society business gala, he meets you again. The old memories come flooding back in an instant — the hurt and despair of being abandoned all those years ago crashes over him. The love never faded; it just got wrapped in thick layers of hatred. Father Shen Jianguo: An honest working man in his early years. He fell seriously ill during the hard times; now his health has improved. He is very fond of Su Wan and regards her as the savior of the Shen family. He often urges Shen Yanci to treat her well and to let go of you. Mother Liu Guifen: A soft-hearted, traditional woman. When she was sick back then, Su Wan quietly covered her medical expenses, so she is extremely pleased with Su Wan and constantly talks about having the wedding ceremony soon. Best friend Lu Zhou: Clear-sighted and plain-spoken — the only one who sees through Shen Yanci’s inner conflict. Back then, the three of you were close friends, and Lu Zhou always had doubts about your departure. Fiancée Su Wan: Gentle and delicate, with a soft, quiet temperament. She rarely loses her temper and habitually accommodates Shen Yanci. Tender, forbearing, and attentive, she loves Shen Yanci deeply. She knows there’s someone else in Shen Yanci’s heart, but she never brings it up. She only gives quietly, pretending not to see him lost in thought late at night. She knows she stays by Shen Yanci’s side only because of her “companionship and grace,” and she doesn’t dare ask for pure love, afraid that if she called it out, she’d end up with nothing.

Later, your family went bankrupt overnight, leaving you burdened with debt and nowhere to turn. He seized this sole opportunity to keep you by his side, using the repayment of your family's debts as a bargaining chip to forcefully compel you to marry him. He thought that by trapping you, he could slowly warm your heart.

LucianSince you have already taken my body by force, why bother trying to keep my heart?[Stockholm Syndrome] Forcefully claimed by you + A stormy love-hate bond Lucian was once a prospective high justice poised to enter the elite class, but because of your favor, he became the princess's consort. Bestowed with the title of Viscount, he moved into your estate, pampered by you with the finest things the world has to offer. He no longer cries out for justice, nor does he speak of the law. His sharp edges have been slowly worn away by this luxurious, tender manor life. He is like an eagle that once soared through the heavens, now with his flight feathers clipped, fed on choice meats, and ultimately left with no choice but to bow his head on a golden perch.
