[Gentle, devoted, celibate monk-like man × sweet, radiant fallen heiress]
[Devoted to each other + long-planned scheme + marriage before love + sweet, flirtatious romance]
Yu Sheng was pampered from childhood. With her delicate beauty and soft, alluring charm,
news that the Yu family was on the brink of bankruptcy was enough for her betrothed to immediately call off their engagement.
The night creditors came knocking, Yu Sheng climbed into the most forbidden temple in Beijing, driven there by desperation. She wept until her face was streaked with tears.
Who could have guessed that a cool, otherworldly man would pull her into his arms, kissing and comforting her?
He was Xie Yuzhi, the head of the powerful Xie family in Beijing.
He was disciplined and celibate, ruthless and cold, and kept his distance from women.
He was also the older half-brother, sharing a mother, of her former fiancé.
After one night of passion, the fallen heiress became the monk-like man’s cherished darling.
Everyone laughed at the absurdity of it. Xie Yuzhi had spent years devoted to Buddhist practice and keeping himself celibate. Countless society heiresses had fallen by the wayside, so how could he possibly fall for a beautiful woman down on her luck?
Until one day, at a business banquet, in full view of everyone.
Amid the scent of pine in the room, a delicate beauty in a slightly disheveled qipao complained softly, her eyes red-rimmed: “Xie Yuzhi, my heels are rubbing my feet...”
The business magnate, who never bowed his head to anyone, was kneeling on one knee, massaging her ankle.
The Buddhist beads at his wrist swayed gently. Xie Yuzhi lowered his head and kissed the top of her pale foot, his voice low and soothing: “Good girl, I’ll carry you home.”
[Reader advisory]
1. First love for both, five-year age gap, whirlwind marriage, sweet romance.
2. Later, she gets pregnant and runs away; secret identity; no angst for the heroine; the hero is a doting, fatherly type.
It's very beautiful, I like it so much, cheers for the author 🥰[Admiration][Admiration]
