[Marriage first, love later, sweet romance, one-on-one, both leads' first relationships, mutual healing]

Tan Ning is treated as a bargaining chip by her own mother,

who forces her to marry the Xu family's illegitimate son, a man even worse than a scoundrel.

On the day of her engagement, she calls her stepfather's sworn enemy.

“Mr. Zhou, are you free right now? Would you be willing to marry me?”

It is the most outrageous thing Tan Ning has ever done.

She expects him to think she's a delusional lunatic,

but he shows up right on time, and the marriage registration goes smoothly.

…

The whole world says

that the Jian family promised one daughter to two families, and that she's a filthy woman who uses her body to please men,

until the refined and aloof Zhou Yubai steps in to defend her himself.

Gradually,

everyone realizes that wherever Tan Ning is, Zhou Yubai is sure to be there too.

He's like a little shadow, clinging to his wife every moment of the day,

with a ridiculously pleased smile on his face as he tilts his head and asks for praise.

“Wifey, what score would you give my performance?”

…

Zhou Yubai saves her from the depths of misery. Tan Ning is grateful and doesn't dare ask for more.

She has struggled alone through hardship for twenty-one years.

Then he unexpectedly enters her dark, locked-away life,

lighting a lamp and driving away the endless darkness in her heart.

After they marry, Zhou Yubai has eyes only for Tan Ning.

In public, he's the cold, indifferent CEO of Wanzhen.

In private, he's a complete wife guy who puts her first in everything.

Tan Ning: “As you wish, I won't become like your mother. I'm demanding, and I need you.”

Zhou Yubai: “You are yourself, not anyone's possession. Go after what should be yours. I'll always be your safe haven.”
