An Abundance of Passion

【Radiant, lively, pampered heiress × refined, steady, fatherly young gentleman】 【Eight-year age gap / powerful man lowers his head / old flame rekindled / love at first sight / sweet romance / cozy everyday life / both virgins / engagement before romance】 At eighteen, Jiang Li, the only daughter of the Bay Area’s richest man, was promised to the refined and dignified eldest son of the Jiang family in Beicheng. That day, political and business elites flocked to offer their congratulations. Hong Kong was a blaze of splendor and extravagance. Then, an unexpected misfortune struck, and everything came to nothing. Her future mother-in-law, who had always been critical of her, brought her before a young woman who was just as high above everyone else. She didn’t even look up. “It was all a misunderstanding. They were only becoming sworn family. Who would have thought people would say they were engaged? If you don’t believe me, ask her yourself.” Then she turned and instructed someone, “Things have come to this. You know what to do.” Years later, Jiang Li, a hugely popular actress, was crowned the entertainment industry’s most stunning queen thanks to her supple waist and delicate beauty. No man was worthy of winning her over. No one knew that in the corner of the dressing room, someone had a firm grip on her waist, kissing her until the corners of her eyes turned red. She struggled to stop him. “Brother Ting’an.” Outside, the crowd was roaring. The man’s expression darkened as he traced her lips with his fingertips. “Don’t call me brother. From the very beginning, we were engaged, weren’t we?” // Everyone said Jiang Ting’an was a gentleman raised in the lap of luxury, kind, gentle, respectful, frugal, and modest. But at the richest man’s daughter’s birthday banquet that year, the young girl had a porcelain-white face, utterly delicate and pure. At a single glance, the heart that had scorned the idea of marrying a little girl suddenly began to pound. 「I’ve spent my whole life holding back and being proper, yet you’re the only spoiled darling I’ve ever indulged.」
