Synopsis

[Older Heroine, Younger Hero + Heroine Is Somewhat Irresistible + Possessive Pursuit + Love at First Sight + Soapy, Angsty Drama + No Moral Standards]

Wen Yan is forty years old and a full-time housewife.

She is gentle by nature, and her family life is harmonious and her marriage peaceful and happy. She thought she would spend her whole life this way, until a car accident changed everything.

That was the day she met Han Xiuyu.

Only then did she realize that cracks had long since appeared in what she thought was happiness, and that her family was ultimately headed for ruin.

Han Xiuyu is twenty-three.

He is her former lover’s son, cold, restrained, and seemingly heartless. A blood feud stands between them, and he should see her as an enemy. Yet even as he resents her, he is drawn to her, forcing himself time and again to keep his distance.

Until the men around her are all vying for her attention: her best friend’s son, the professor next door, his closest friend, even the subordinate he trusts most. Every one of them has a better claim to her than he does.

He is driven completely mad.

Later, at their wedding,

Wen Yan is held in his arms. She tells him, “I’ll spend the rest of my life repaying what I owe you.”

[This is not a story about a strong, independent heroine. The heroine is delicate and imperfect, and has an overly strong sense of morality. If that isn’t your cup of tea, please don’t read.]
