[Powerful Family Scion × Clear-Eyed, Resilient Orphan | Ten Years Apart · Intense Push and Pull · Mutual Redemption]
At sixteen, Xu Nian was Zhou Sinan’s “contract girlfriend,” bought with money.
He was arrogant and domineering: “Pretend to be with me, and I’ll secure your future.”
She was composed and self-possessed: “Deal, but keep your distance.”
But he lost control. When she was bullied, he swept away every obstacle in her path.
“Xu Nian,” he said, his eyes red, “we’re alike. We’re both looking for a way out.”
But the iron grip of his family crushed their dream in an instant.
To protect her future, he pushed her away with his own hands: “Why should someone like you make me give everything up?”
At twenty-two, they meet again where there’s no room to turn back.
She is an elite lawyer; he is a rising business tycoon.
He presses closer at every turn, while she stays guarded on all sides.
He puts his entire fortune on the line: “I loved you the wrong way before. Now, you can decide my future.”
But she throws the evidence of his “betrayal” in front of him. “Your love is too heavy. I can’t bear it anymore.”
At twenty-six, they stand side by side again for a shared goal.
This time, he is a man who can fully control his own fate.
And at last, she can say without hesitation:
“Zhou Sinan, the lights of everyday life are more beautiful than I ever imagined.”
