Time Knows How Deeply I Love You

【Both sexually inexperienced, sweet daily romance】【Secret crush becomes reality】【Long-planned romance】 Ji Hanzhou, head of one of Kyoto's top families and the young heir of Beijing's elite circle, was by nature aloof and coldhearted. He was ruthless in business and had no interest in women. Ye Zhihan, a wealthy heiress from Lan City, was kind without being a pushover, proud but not spoiled, and adored by her family. Sixteen years ago, an unexpected upheaval left Ji Hanzhou feeling as if the whole world had abandoned him, plunged into darkness. She was like a beam of light, illuminating that darkness without warning. At first, Ji Hanzhou thought he would be content just to catch a glimpse of her from afar now and then. He never dared hope for anything more. Then one day, news spread that she was to enter a marriage alliance, and only then did Ji Hanzhou realize how possessive he was of her. So why not offer himself as her match? From the male lead's perspective: He planned it all along and got what he wanted. From the female lead's perspective: They married first, then fell in love over time. Rumor had it that Ji Hanzhou avoided women, and had only married for the sake of a family alliance. The two had no feelings for each other. Although Ye Zhihan came from a wealthy family, she was from Lan City, and no one took her seriously as Mrs. Ji. Ji Hanzhou fiercely defended his wife: “She's the wife I personally went to ask for, married with all the proper rites and ceremonies. I can't even bear to see her frown. What made you think you could bully her?” Ye Zhihan had seen plenty of marriages in their circle arranged for the sake of family interests. She believed in love, but had never dared hope she would find it herself. She thought she would be lucky if she could one day share a respectful, harmonious life with someone. At their first meeting, Ji Hanzhou was modest and courteous, gently guiding her along. After they married, Ji Hanzhou spoiled his wife without restraint, spending every day thinking of how to make her fall in love with him. A sweet, slow-burn romance from beginning to end, with plenty of swoon-worthy moments.
