[A restrained, aloof uncle and a sweet, resilient beauty + age gap]
Shen Zhiyi unexpectedly got involved with the scumbag's uncle, Zhou Yubai, the powerful head of the Zhou family, a ruthless, untouchable man who kept his distance from women.
After waking up, she began to feel that something was off.
Noble and aloof? He was clearly saying provocative things that made her blush and her heart race.
Kept his distance from women? Then what were the broken bed and the tears shed all night about?

People mocked Shen Zhiyi for being cheated on and still trying to climb into a fortune beyond her wildest dreams.
Little did they know that Zhou Yubai had left a room full of guests behind to whisper in her ear like a lover, “I want to ask you for a birthday present.”
Later, people noticed that the prayer beads Zhou family patriarch never took off had been replaced by a pink hair tie. Someone spotted what looked like those very prayer beads on Shen Zhiyi's wrist.
No one believed it. They waited to see the joke unfold, until an explosive video surfaced.
The drunk man struggled to restrain the burning desire in his eyes. “Don't call me uncle. Your surname is Shen. The Zhou family's generation rules have nothing to do with you.”
Later, in a carefully cultivated field of snow roses, Zhou Yubai offered her his vast fortune and begged for her love: “Could you like me just a little more?”
Later still, when a rival appeared, Zhou Yubai panicked and carried her home, flowerpot and all. “Love can't wait. Call me baby right now.”
Shen Zhiyi realized: wow! Her uncle was not only strong and sweet-talking, gentle and considerate, he also seemed hopelessly in love.

About their relationship:
Old Master Zhou: “The girl's innocent. You mustn't let any wild boar get at my cabbage.”
Shen Zhiyi: “Uncle only looks after me because of the history between our families.”
Li Ningning: “I get it. He looked after her, and somehow she ended up at his house.”
Ji Ling: “Time makes everyone old. That old dog plotted all along to get himself some young grass.”
