[Timid, well-behaved adopted daughter of a wealthy family, later a fiercely vengeful kitten] VS [Long-planning, celibate big shot in government, later a secretly passionate, clingy, jealous uncle]
Nuonuo, daughter of the heir to a prominent Jiangnan pharmaceutical family, spent her childhood adrift before being adopted by the Lin family, where she became a “walking blood bank” for her adoptive sister. She thought they were exploiting her only because she had a rare blood type, unaware that the adoption had been a scheme from the very beginning.
Fu Yanzhou, the third young master of the general’s mansion in Beijing’s Hongshu district, held a high position but kept a low profile. Cold and aloof, he had nevertheless harbored deep, restrained feelings for Lin Nuo ever since catching a fleeting glimpse of her years ago. When he learned the Lin family had backed her into a corner, he finally stopped standing by and forcefully offered her a marriage contract. “Marry me and become Mrs. Fu. No one will ever hurt you again.”
“But Uncle Fu, the difference in our status is too great...” She shrank back timidly, but he gripped her hand, his tone domineering yet gentle. “Status, my ass! Be good and call me hubby.”
This hurried marriage, which began as a deal to meet each other’s needs, was meant to be her way out of a living hell. But with him always taking her side and quietly indulging her, she transformed from a timid good girl into a fiercely vengeful kitten.
And he, once a celibate, restrained big shot in government, became a secretly passionate, clingy husband who got jealous at the drop of a hat, a “sly old fox.”
When Lin Nuo’s true identity came to light, the schemes returned with it. By then, their long-planned marriage had already broken free of its “transaction” façade. What began as mutual need had become a bond that ran bone-deep: each other’s one and only for life.
The big boss in the system dotes on his little wife, it's so sweet! [Laughing]
