[Kyoto Chamber of Commerce Chairman × Down-and-Out Heiress with a Hidden Identity]

[Marriage First, Love Later / Age Gap / One-on-One Romance]

Lately, rumors have been spreading through Kyoto’s social circles: Xu Shuyin is back.

The news shocked many people, especially when they heard she had come to Kyoto after marrying into a wealthy family.

Everyone was speculating about the identity of the “unlucky guy” who had married Xu Shuyin.

After all, she was still connected to a “murder case” from five years ago.

No one noticed that the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce had changed his Weibo bio to read: Married.

At their first meeting, he struck her as austere and aloof, a man beyond reach.

Her brother told her he was a powerful figure: not only the heir to Kyoto’s Shi family, but also the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Shuyin thought, What does that have to do with me?

Less than six months later, she sat stiffly at a Shi family dinner in a red dress, her hands clasped tightly.

Beside her, the man remained composed as he laid his slender, jade-like hand over hers.

“Don’t worry. I’m here.”

Years later, Shi Yu kept his promise. As long as he was there, Xu Shuyin could feel at ease.

Even knowing he was being used,

he would still stand behind the woman he loved and take care of everything for her.
