Su Wanxing thought she would be trapped forever in the bitter winters of the orphanage, until the year she turned twenty, when she stumbled into Gu Chenyuan's world.
As the president of the Gu Group, a business titan who could turn the tide of the market with a wave of his hand, Gu Chenyuan had always been cold and distant. Yet he treated this unexpected girl differently. He drove away the relatives who made things difficult for her and gave her a safe place to live. When childhood traumas woke her in the middle of the night, he would even sit silently by her bed until she fell asleep again.
Su Wanxing thought his kindness was only temporary pity, so she carefully kept her distance. But with each tentative approach, she discovered the deep affection hidden beneath Gu Chenyuan's hard exterior. He remembered that she disliked cilantro, quietly brought her hot milk while she worked on design sketches, and spared no expense to protect her when she was caught up in a business conspiracy.
When word spread through business circles that "Mr. Gu has someone in his heart," doubts and jealousy followed. Some mocked Su Wanxing as a Cinderella clinging to the powerful, while others tried to drive a wedge between them for their own gain. Faced with obstacle after obstacle, Gu Chenyuan shielded Su Wanxing and announced at a grand press conference, "She isn't my possession. She's the one star I want to cherish in the palm of my hand for the rest of my life."
It turned out that from the day they met, his so-called "exclusive devotion" had been carefully planned for years. Su Wanxing finally understood that the tenderness he showered on her was never a coincidence, but a romance Gu Chenyuan had prepared for her with his entire life.
