A real marriage-first, love-later romance / a fake marriage alliance / a secret marriage / an age gap / both leads are inexperienced
Wen Xin and Jiang Yunzhou have been dating for exactly one year.
Having grown up with a stepmother and an indifferent father, she thought she had found a safe harbor for the future.
But Jiang Yunzhou was snatched away halfway through by her older half-sister, who shared the same mother.
She also fulfilled her grandfather's dying wish by marrying Gu Linyan, the eldest son of the Gu family.
They were worlds apart in every respect and seemed unsuited to be lifelong partners.
Even when Gu Linyan treated her well, she assumed it was simply his sense of duty and the good upbringing instilled in him since childhood.
A marriage of mutual respect was better than giving her heart to the wrong person. When the time came to divorce, she could walk away without a second thought.
Until one day, the aloof, icy Gu Linyan saw a senior who had secretly loved her for years confess to her in public.
He came home drunk, pulled her out of a beautiful dream, and went wild for half the night. Then she realized she had been wrong.
Gu Linyan, the only heir to a top-tier wealthy family, is disciplined and courteous, cool and detached, and distant with others without ever losing his manners.
He married Wen Xin solely to repay a debt of gratitude owed by the Gu family.
He thought no one in his world could ever make him break his rules.
Until...
His gaze lingered on her.
He instinctively stood up for her.
He couldn't control his jealousy.
He helped her reclaim everything that belonged to her.
