The Tenderness of the Heart

[Beijing circle + marriage first, love later + sweet romance with no angst + both leads are each other's first]

Lu Niannian has a grand dream: to be forcibly married to a domineering billionaire who is richer than the nation.

But her scumbag father wants to marry her off to an old man.

Just as she steps out of her room and reaches the corner of the stairs, she locks eyes with a devastatingly handsome face.

Her father, who usually wears a constipated expression, actually smiles at her for once.

This is ridiculous!

But it gets even more ridiculous!

The head of the Bo family comes in person to tell her he's going to marry her.

That's right: tell her.

-

When her best friend teases her, Lu Niannian answers with a perfectly straight face: “It's not like I wanted to get married, but he was just too handsome!”

Her wicked stepmother and shameless father say, “Your sister likes Young Master Bo. Go talk to him and let your sister marry him instead!”

Without a word, Lu Niannian grabs her phone and calls Bo Jingxiao right in front of them, putting him on speaker. In a casual tone, she asks, “Hello! My father wants you to marry my sister. What do you think?”

Bo Jingxiao's icy, faintly mocking voice comes through the phone: “Do I look like I run a garbage dump?”

-

After they marry, Bo Jingxiao's younger sister plays a prank on Lu Niannian.

Lu Niannian declares, “Since you're my husband's daughter, let's hear you call me Mom!”

Lu Niannian looks at the man clinging to her.

Wasn't he supposed to be cold and heartless, and never give women the time of day?
