Bright, spoiled heiress × gentle, fatherly head of the family

After her grandfather got into trouble, Qin Zhi got married. Her husband was Zhou Yanli, the man her grandfather had chosen to lead the Zhou family. She agreed to the marriage because she wanted someone to back her up in the Qin family, so she could keep being the spoiled, headstrong heiress she was.

Rumor had it that Zhou Yanli was ruthless and cruel, willing to send his own second uncle to prison to seize power. In business, he was someone nobody dared cross.

On the first day they registered their marriage, Zhou Yanli said they didn’t need to consummate it. If she ever fell for someone, they could get divorced. Her needs would always come first.

During their first month of marriage, Zhou Yanli spent twenty days away on business trips.

She’d thought theirs was a marriage that was bound to end in divorce.

But Qin Zhi gradually fell for him, caught up in his gentle devotion.

Three months into their marriage, she asked him, “Zhou Yanli, do you want to date me?”

Later, emboldened by alcohol, she asked, “Zhou Yanli, should we make this a real marriage?”

Qin Zhi had always thought she was the first to fall in love, and that Zhou Yanli agreed to everything she asked out of duty or self-interest. When she decided to pull away and cut her losses in time

The usually composed and reserved man pinned her against the wall, looking utterly humbled and disheveled as he rasped, “Zhi Zhi, are you going to leave me?”

What Qin Zhi hadn’t expected was that after Zhou Yanli confessed his feelings, he’d be insatiable night after night, breathing against her ear as he murmured, “Baby, be patient.”

He had always been the first one to fall.

Zhou Yanli knew all too well that the love he couldn’t bring himself to express concealed an obsessive, possessive streak.
