[Cheerful, soft-hearted little white rabbit who cries at the drop of a hat VS domineering, fatherly, scheming tycoon + sweet romance + age gap + marriage first, love later + settling scores on the spot + healing]
Shi An'an was born with a special pair of eyes. She could see the “light” surrounding other people and read their emotions and thoughts, even tell whether they were good or evil.
Unfortunately, her mother died when she was young, and her stepfather arrived soon after. Before she had a chance to show what she could do, she was sent to the countryside and left to fend for herself. When she finally returned, she ended up as an adopted daughter of the Shi family.
Fu Linchen, who wore Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, was the sinister and unhinged head of one of the wealthiest families in the capital. Rumor had it he had no interest in women and was ruthless in his methods. Feared by countless people as a “devil,” he was avoided by his own relatives as if he were a venomous snake.
A marriage certificate bound the two of them tightly together, making them inseparable.
Some mocked Fu Linchen for marrying an uncouth country bumpkin. Others envied Shi An'an for her good fortune in marrying the man every woman dreamed of.
But only Fu Linchen knew how long he had waited for Shi An'an, and only Shi An'an remembered just how warm the arms she had cautiously approached had been.

...Some people said Fu Linchen was moody and cruel, that he hit people and was like a ferocious beast.
Shi An'an covered her face. “Do you mean when I secretly ate ice cream, he caught me and pinned me to the bed, and I was too sore to get out of bed the next day?”
...Some people said Fu Linchen was possessive and would lock Shi An'an up!
Fu Linchen narrowed his eyes. “She's my wife. What makes you think you can look at her whenever you want?! Look at her again and I'll gouge out those eyes of yours!” (Jealous over nothing.)
