(One-on-one, both virgins, doting husband; the male lead falls in love at first sight, carefully lays his plans, and is possessive; the heroine is sweet and gentle only with those close to her, while excelling academically and professionally. The key is the contrast.)
Lately, the upper-class circles of City A have been abuzz with news that Mr. Xiao, the head of the Xiao Group, has returned to China and plans to shift his business focus from overseas back home.
Professor Shen brought Bai Shuyue to her home for two reasons. First, Shuyue had no classes at her college that day. Second, her husband had told her that Mr. Xiao planned to hold a fashion week in China in the future and had invited her to take part. This was the perfect opportunity to recommend Shuyue for a spot.
The first time Shuyue met Mr. Xiao, he was warm and refined, yet there was something secretive and inscrutable in his eyes. His whole bearing radiated authority, making her feel as if she had stepped into a hunting ground and been marked by the hunter at first glance.
Years later, Mr. Xiao still remembered the first time he'd seen Miss Bai at Mr. Ellery's home. While waiting for Professor Shen to return, he saw a young woman following behind her. She wore a qipao, her long hair casually pinned up with a pencil, loose strands framing her cheeks. She held a sketchbook in her arms. Her voice seemed to murmur, yet her eyes were so clear that he wanted to keep them for himself.
At a glance, Mr. Xiao had to admit that the world shows certain people special favor.
