[Childhood sweethearts can’t compete with raising someone from scratch; aloof big shot bends for love + possessive love + flawed characters + both inexperienced + happy ending]
The year Ji Wanning turned twenty, she was exposed as a fake heiress and sent to the bed of the Fu family’s heir, Fu Chuji, her reserved, proud, aloof big brother!
They married in a whirlwind to quiet the rumors. Only after the wedding did she learn that Fu Chuji already had someone in his heart.
Throughout their three years together, Ji Wanning stayed true to herself. Who could have guessed that when her childhood sweetheart returned after a year-long relationship with her, her usually abstinent husband would lose his mind?
When she woke up one morning, he had trapped her against the wall!
…
Fu Chuji had a secret.
He loved Ji Wanning, the little sister of the family, even though they weren’t related by blood. But she had someone else in her heart.
He didn’t want her to find him repulsive, so he set up his own household and tried to keep his distance from her.
During a heavy snowfall in New York, his investments failed and he fell into enormous debt.
Ji Wanning, usually so obedient and timid, showed up uninvited and offered him all her savings.
Fu Chuji was shamefully moved. “Maybe she doesn’t see me as her real brother.”
But she had actually come with her childhood sweetheart! The two had even fallen in love in New York!
Fu Chuji was so jealous his teeth ached.
So, at the banquet celebrating their return home, he drank the wine she handed him. Beneath the moon and stars, his moon fell into his arms.
After they married, Fu Chuji kept a close watch on her, but he hadn’t counted on her childhood sweetheart coming back again, still hoping to rekindle their relationship.
Fu Chuji couldn’t take it anymore. He cornered her against the wall, eyes red. “Wanning, don’t look at him.”
Ji Wanning was dumbfounded. Could someone tell her what was wrong with this man? Why had he turned dark overnight!
