Qingli Turns Toward the Warmth: Young Master Gu's Beloved

Shen Qingli is the Shen family's cherished little princess, clever and radiant. But because of a family alliance, she marries Gu Yanzhi, heir to the Gu family.

She thinks it is nothing more than a cold arrangement in which both sides get what they want. But on their wedding night, she discovers that her husband has endured a severe beating under family law, then forced himself through their wedding ceremony despite his injuries. “I took a step and a cane at a time to beg for this marriage.”

One sentence from Gu Yanzhi tears open the truth behind their marriage.

He was never a cold, calculating match chosen for an alliance. He was the mastermind who willingly endured a brutal punishment that left his flesh torn, all to marry her into the Gu family.

She thinks she is an outsider, but she has long been the most treasured piece on his chessboard.

In this marriage, full of probing and power plays:

· He is the composed, self-controlled heir to the Gu family, yet when no one is around, he ties her untied shoelace for her;

· She is the seemingly delicate jewel of the Shen family, yet when he is punished under family law, a single remark from her can calm the storm in the room;

· They distrust each other, yet with every clash, they draw closer against their will…

In this marriage sealed with blood and flesh, who was the first to fall in love?
