He Called Me Baby!

Si Tiantian is the only daughter of the wealthy Si family in Jing City, a sheltered young woman who has been protected since childhood after a kidnapping attempt. She is a second-year student at Jinghua University, known on campus as a beauty goddess, though she maintains a relatively low profile and lives a simple, sweet life filled with desserts and close friendships. Her best friend, Gu Yazhi, accompanies her to a classmate’s birthday party at an extravagant venue called Heaven on Earth. While seeking fresh air in the hallway, Si Tiantian accidentally collides with Li Hanye, the cold and ruthless head of the Li Group, who is infamous in the capital as the "Living King of Hell" for his untouchable demeanor and lack of interest in women.

The collision causes Si Tiantian to sprain her ankle severely. Instead of ignoring her as he would any other woman, Li Hanye is instantly captivated by her clear, indignant eyes and the sight of her teary, stubborn expression. Overcome by an unprecedented surge of possessiveness, he carries her into his private VIP suite, ignoring her protests and the stunned reactions of his subordinates. He personally tends to her injury with surprising gentleness, massaging her swollen ankle and commanding her to remember his name. After the incident, he insists on seeing her home, carrying her to her car despite her attempts to decline his help. Once she is safely inside, he watches her leave, already determined to investigate her background.

That same night, Li Hanye orders his assistant, Lin Ke, to compile a detailed dossier on Si Tiantian. Upon learning she is the protected daughter of the Si family, his interest deepens. He adds her on WeChat, anxiously waiting for her to accept the request, and is visibly pleased when she does. Their digital interactions begin, with Li Hanye sending frequent messages and voice notes, gradually breaking through her initial reservations. He learns of her love for sweets and arranges to have high-end desserts delivered to her university dormitory, creating opportunities to see her in person. He picks her up from class and takes her to dinner, navigating the awkwardness of his first attempts at courtship with the guidance of his friend Yan Chengyang.

As the relationship develops, Li Hanye’s dominance becomes more apparent. He demands she call him by his name rather than "Mr. Li" and sends possessive warnings when she goes shopping with Gu Yazhi, forbidding her from looking at other men. Si Tiantian finds herself increasingly affected by his intense focus and the rare tenderness he shows only to her. She begins to anticipate his messages and shares fragments of her daily life with him, signaling a shift from fear to affection. Li Hanye, in turn, finds his isolated, work-obsessed life filled with warmth for the first time, saving every photo she posts and craving her presence.

The narrative follows their growing closeness as Li Hanye integrates himself into Si Tiantian’s routine. He waits outside her dorm, brings her treats, and engages in poetic exchanges via text. Despite the significant gap in their social circles and his formidable reputation, Si Tiantian feels a strange comfort in his company. The story establishes a dynamic where the cold, powerful CEO is completely disarmed by the sweet, innocent student, while she gradually succumbs to his overwhelming yet caring attention. The central conflict lies in Li Hanye’s fierce determination to claim her as his own against the backdrop of his high-stakes corporate world and her sheltered existence, setting the stage for a romance defined by his intense possessiveness and her gradual emotional surrender.
