Shen Zhimo was famous for being cold and taciturn in the business world, with eyes as alienated as a frozen lake. He regarded this marriage as a routine matter. He moved to the study room on the wedding night. In the following days, the two of them lived under the same roof, but they were as polite as strangers.
Su Tang looked gentle in temperament, but there was a lot of toughness hidden in his bones. She never said much, quietly took care of the housework, and appeared just when Shen Zhimo needed her, but she never showed any grievance in his cold eyes. She has her own little world, tracing light and shadow in the studio, tending flowers and plants on the balcony, quiet but powerful.
She thought her life would go on like this until an accident occurred. Shen Zhimo saw her clear and unyielding appearance at the negotiation table, and saw the soft yet strong stubbornness in her eyes when facing difficulties. And Su Tang also encountered him late one night when he was tired of taking off all his defenses and bearing the pressure alone.
The ice began to melt quietly. He will remember that she doesn't like coriander and will leave a light on when she comes home late; she will hand him warm water when he has a stomachache and whisper "it's okay" when he is frustrated.
When "Mrs. Shen" is no longer a title, when "Mr. Shen" is no longer a symbol, the two hearts slowly get closer as they get along day after day. It turns out that under the cold shell, there is an unknown tenderness; under the seemingly soft appearance, there is power enough to warm the cold winter. This marriage that began with a contract finally allowed them to understand the deep meaning in each other's eyes, and they turned "make do" into "just right".
