Su Wanxing believes she will be trapped forever in the bitter winter of the orphanage, until the year she turns twenty, when she stumbles into Gu Chenyuan’s world.
As the president of the Gu Group, a business tycoon who can sway the market with a wave of his hand, Gu Chenyuan has always been cold and distant. Yet he treats this girl who suddenly barges into his life differently. He drives away the relatives who give her a hard time, gives her a safe place to live, and even sits silently by her bed when childhood trauma wakes her in the middle of the night, staying until she falls asleep again.
Su Wanxing thinks his tenderness is only temporary pity and cautiously keeps her distance. But through their repeated tests and growing closeness, she discovers the deep affection hidden beneath Gu Chenyuan’s cold exterior. He remembers that she dislikes cilantro, quietly brings her hot milk while she works on design sketches, and spares no effort to protect her when she is caught up in a business conspiracy.
When news that “President Gu has someone special” spreads through the business world, doubts and jealousy follow. Some mock Su Wanxing as a Cinderella climbing the social ladder, while others try to drive the couple apart for their own gain. In the face of obstacle after obstacle, Gu Chenyuan shields Su Wanxing and makes a grand announcement at a press conference: “She isn’t someone who belongs to me. She is the one star I want to cherish in the palm of my hand for the rest of my life.”
It turns out that from the day they met, his so-called “exclusive devotion” had been carefully planned for years. Su Wanxing finally understands that the tenderness he gives her is no accident. It is the romance Gu Chenyuan has prepared for her with his entire life.
