The Shen family of the capital has a daughter named Shen Niansheng. Delicate and pampered, with unparalleled beauty, she has three powerful older brothers watching over her. She is the undisputed darling of Beijing’s elite, envied by everyone.
An old, long-sealed marriage contract takes her from the familiar streets beneath the imperial city walls to the dazzling, prosperous city of Hong Kong, where she marries He Zhaoting, a ruthless, unfathomable tycoon feared for his cold-blooded nature.
At first, Shen Niansheng thinks her new husband has little going for him besides an impeccable face and enough wealth to rival a nation. His personality is awful, he’s impossible to deal with, sharp-tongued and domineering, and he’s a total tsundere! Hoping they can simply live together in mutual respect, she just wants to carve out a little space of her own in this unfamiliar place.
What she doesn’t know is that this “arranged marriage” is the wish He Zhaoting has carefully plotted for years, maneuvering at every turn to make it come true. He recognized her long ago as the little ray of sunshine who brightened his bleak childhood. He laid a careful web of love and waited patiently, all so he could draw her into his arms step by step and make her fall for him.
When a pampered princess meets a prickly wolf, she pouts in hurt while he acts unmoved, only to ruin the person who upset her. She longs for home, and though he complains that it’s a hassle, he has her favorite treats from the capital flown in overnight. When she’s in danger, he shields her fiercely, revealing both his thunderous methods and the obsessive love he’s kept hidden in his eyes…
Shen Niansheng gradually realizes that this iceberg seems to have a volcano hidden inside. And when the shadows of their childhood finally come together, she learns that every “coincidence” was part of his long-planned, profound devotion.
Wow, the setting of the heroine and the hero is my favorite modern novel. I like it. I hope it will be updated soon.
