[Marriage First, Love Later, A Powerful Man Loses Control, Both Leads Are Untouched]
A romance-obsessed archaeology girl meets a cool, abstinent power broker who has lived for ten thousand years
*
A top-tier man appeared in the garden of her best friend Pei Lu’s home. He had a handsome face and an incredible physique.
“That’s my uncle,” Pei Lu said.
Ruan Ci Ci, an archaeologist, worked up the courage to ask, “So... is your uncle married?”
“No, but marrying him would be practically impossible. Ci Ci, are you trying to pluck the moon from the sky?”
Ruan Ci Ci was on the verge of tears. The first time she saw Pei Jingchuan, she fell in love with his... skull. It was the most perfect skull she had ever seen in her archaeological career, and she desperately wanted to get her hands on it.
She thought she would never cross paths with Pei Jingchuan again.
Until she unexpectedly ran into the refined, distinguished man at a matchmaking dinner.
Pei Jingchuan leaned back in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, and stared at her. “I need a Mrs. Pei.”
And just like that, Ruan Ci Ci went with him to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got a marriage certificate.
Her best friend said her uncle was an old fossil: aloof, abstinent, and every bit the heartless capitalist. He wouldn’t pamper his wife, much less love anyone.
Anyone who married him would be doomed to a lonely life.
Ruan Ci Ci also thought she would never be able to pluck that moon hanging so high above her.
Later, on a snow-covered plateau in Tibet, antique smugglers hunted her down. She was shot and collapsed in a pool of blood.
She saw Pei Jingchuan appear in front of her. His eyes reddened as he cradled her face, his voice trembling. “Ci Ci, you are not allowed to die!”

The moon was never truly out of reach. When you love it, it will come running to you!
