On the day of her blind date, Gu Wantang casually picked a quiet, obedient man to marry.
Shen Zhichu, the “outsider” of the Shen family, was born to save his older brother and had always lived like a shadow.
He never competed or fought for anything, never said he loved her, and even carefully hid his presence.
She thought he was the safest partner to settle down with, but she never expected that after they married, she would be the one whose defenses crumbled again and again.
She stood up for him, and he made concessions for her. As each held back, they slowly fell for each other, yet both believed they could never be loved.
Until the day she shielded him from everyone’s cold stares. The look he gave her when he turned around overflowed with tenderness
She became his one and only choice, and he became the exception she couldn’t bear to lose.
