[Marriage first, love later + mutual salvation + age gap + poetic healing and a slow-blooming romance]

“Just like your name, you were a breathtaking glimpse when we first met, a joy at first sight, and a happiness that lingered after we parted. In this poem, you are the beginning, and I am your ending. So I was destined to love you.”

Gu Chuhua, the first witness at a crime scene, is accused of murder. To investigate the truth behind it, she agrees to an arranged marriage, and one marriage contract makes her Zheng Jinzhi's fiancée.
But everything that seems to fall into place is part of a hidden plan, carefully plotted long ago.
“I knew it was you all along.”
His words came one by one, close to her ear. Gu Chuhua screamed inwardly: Are you seriously playing a plot-within-a-plot game with me?
To those who know him, he is a ruthless “Living King of Hell.”
In the rumors circulating around the capital, he is heartless and cold-blooded, a vicious dog who bites the hand that feeds him, an ungrateful wretch.
But with her, he is endlessly compliant and tender, cherishing her as the apple of his eye. Throughout this long, painful nightmare, Zheng Jinzhi comforts her gently and stays by her side in silent companionship.

After they move in together, Gu Chuhua tries to keep her distance, treating their relationship as a transaction.
She never expects him to seduce her so effortlessly. His irresistible tenderness gradually sweeps her off her feet, and she loses herself in Zheng Jinzhi calling her “Madam” again and again, until he has her completely.
(P.S. The male lead is a master at playing with the female lead's heart.)
