[A seemingly abstinent business tycoon who's secretly jealous × A gentle-looking, clear-eyed picture-book illustrator]
[Marriage First, Love Later] [One-on-One, Mutually Faithful] [Angst and Sweetness] [Pursuing His Wife]
To get the money her mother needed to survive, Yun Qianxue signed a marriage contract.
The other party was the lofty president of the Fu Group, Fu Yihan.
Their marriage had a clear price tag, with each getting what they needed.
He needed her to play along and shield him from family criticism. She needed him to pay for her mother's life-saving treatment.

After the wedding, Yun Qianxue stuck to her role and did her best to play the part of a gentle, refined “Mrs. Fu.”
She knew there was an insurmountable gulf between them, and understood that a man like him was beyond her reach.
She only had to wait for the contract to expire, take the money, and leave.
But Fu Yihan was the first to cross the line.
He protected and pampered her, clearing away every storm in her path.
She fell for him.
But she couldn't tell whether this feeling was love or dependence. She wanted to make her own way in the world and understand her own heart.
So on the day their contract expired, she handed him the divorce papers and said gently, “Goodbye, Mr. Fu.”
-
Fu Yihan had always believed their marriage was nothing more than a fair transaction.
He had chosen Yun Qianxue because she was quiet and easy to deal with.
At first, he admired how sensible she was, gentle as the moon shining over the mountains. Later, he grew frustrated to discover that she seemed far too sensible. Her gentle, refined smile for him was no different from the one she gave strangers.
He began to resent the moon for shining on everyone but him.
He didn't want to sign the divorce papers, but he gave in and let her go. When she wanted to pursue her career, he quietly protected her from behind the scenes.
“Yun Qianxue, let me court you again.”
This time, not for a contract, but for love.
Feeling very comfortable and happy.
