[Both leads are inexperienced in love + younger man + secret crush + obsessive and scheming + healing romance with a happy ending]
(Beautiful, laid-back older woman X humble puppy-like younger man, three-year age gap)
At twenty-one, Jiang Jiayi was ordered by her family to marry her childhood friend Cheng Jiashu, the boy she had argued with since they were little.
At their engagement party, Cheng Jiashu flirted over voice messages with his god-sister, sparing Jiang Jiayi a glance. “If you’re going to be my wife, don’t get too possessive. Crying, throwing tantrums, threatening to kill yourself, none of that works on me.”
She knew there was no way he would change his ways, and she was prepared to enter a marriage that would make her miserable for the rest of her life.

On the eve of her wedding, Jiang Jiayi accidentally took a college student and male model as her kept man, but treated him like a housekeeper.
The guy was a pro at his job, always coming up with new ways to pamper her, and utterly irresistible when he set out to seduce her.
“Big Sis, you can play with me.”
“I’m clean, really.”
“You’re my first customer.”
“I’ve been doing cardio every day lately. My muscles are firmer than before, Yiyi. You really don’t want me?”

That day, Cheng Jiashu barged into Jiang Jiayi’s office and flung a document in front of her. “So that’s why you suddenly got so tough. You’d already found someone else!”
Looking at the lists showing Xie Yu’an’s shareholding percentages, Jiang Jiayi recalled how they had met, come to know each other, and fallen in love. Every one of those coincidences that seemed like fate had actually been arranged by someone…
By the time Xie Yu’an arrived, documents bearing his name and detailing his shares already covered the desk.
He couldn’t bring himself to look at her distant, indifferent gaze. He inched over and knelt at her feet, tears streaming down his face, his hands trembling uncontrollably as his body went into crisis.
“I won’t break up. I don’t want to break up.”
This is a treasure book. The old bookworm cried like crazy after reading it. It has been a long time since a novel has given me such a touching feeling in my heart. It is great. The writing is delicate and not pretentious. The plot has ups and downs and is reasonable. The content of each chapter is just right. It guides the readers step by step. It is impeccable. The ratings are going up!!!
I thought it was a sweet story, but I didn't expect it to be a sad story. I cried to death.
