After That Night, the Capital’s Older Rich Guy Couldn’t Stop Spoiling Her

Marriage First, Love Later + Sweet Romance + Age Gap + Stoic CEO + Mutual Healing + Whirlwind Wedding

A conspiracy sends Su Nian plunging into the abyss. Her family pushes her toward an older man, but instead she falls into the arms of a man in a tailored suit. This aloof man saves her from danger.

After an unexpected night of passion, she finds herself pregnant. Her grandmother is gravely ill and needs money for surgery, her boyfriend is entangled with the other woman’s younger sister, and even the money she earned to save her grandmother is snatched away by her stepmother.

Pei Zhi appears before her like a god, promising to save her grandmother in exchange for marriage. Faced with the cold terms of their marriage contract, a bewildered Su Nian has no choice but to agree.

Only after their whirlwind wedding does she learn her new husband’s true identity: Pei Zhi, the crown prince of the capital. He’s rumored to be a legendary, celibate business tycoon, but the contract marriage they agreed on is broken one night. He casually tells her, “If you’re going to act, you have to make it convincing,” yet steps in whenever she’s bullied. He can turn the business world upside down with a flick of his wrist, yet stays by her bedside all night when she’s sick.

It’s only when his first love returns from abroad that Su Nian realizes she’s nothing more than a substitute. She leaves a divorce agreement behind and secretly runs away with his child.

The capital erupts. Everyone knows what happens when Pei Zhi is angered, and they all wait to see how this farce will end.

But when he finds the stubborn woman again, he pulls her tight against his chest. “Niannian, I’ve never lied to you… I’m sick, incurably sick. You’re the only one who can cure me.”

The man who once seemed as untouchable as a flower on a high peak is now willing to give up everything for her. Only then do the capital’s powerful finally understand: the cold-faced tyrant they once feared had already let the cure named Su Nian seep into his very bones on some late night.
