She is a destitute illegitimate daughter who was thrown out of the Qiao family home. All she wants is to reclaim her mother’s dowry.
The first time they meet, she stumbles over and blocks his way, pleading desperately, “Please, save me!”
He crouches down, the corners of his handsome lips lifting in an ambiguous smile.
“What’s in it for me if I save you?”
“Whatever I have, it’s yours!”
“Good. It’s a deal!”
Before long, everyone in the capital knows that the powerful man who once swore he would never marry has brought home the woman he cherishes above all else.
He’s afraid she’ll break if he holds her too tightly, and melt if he keeps her in his mouth.
He gives her everything, loves her to the bone, and spoils her without restraint, until she falls deeper with every step.
After marriage:
Mrs. Li is busy making money, picking fights, and putting trashy people in their place!
Mr. Li is busy spoiling his wife, spoiling his wife, and spoiling his wife some more!
“Sir, people are saying that Madam married a half-paralyzed old geezer.”
The next day, the powerful Mr. Li holds a press conference and announces grandly, “Qiao Ran is my wife, Li Jinyan’s! If she so much as bats her eyes at me, I’d give her my life!”
