[Older man + spoiler-filled comments + powerful man lowers himself for love + stealing someone’s love interest + marriage before love + secret crush + both leads have no past relationships] [A cool, celibate, powerful man from Beijing’s elite circles ✖ a pitiful orphan photographer]
Six-year age gap
☆ The second male lead’s attempt to win her back ends in utter devastation
Everyone said Song Lingyuan was lucky. Although her biological parents had died in a car accident long ago, the powerful Shen family of the capital had taken in the orphan.
She was dressed in fine clothes and pampered with luxury cars every day.
The Shen family’s eldest son, Shen Xingzhi, was as refined as the moon and wind, the dream man of countless young women.
Unfortunately, he was already taken. Shen Xingzhi was engaged to the family’s adopted daughter.
If Song Lingyuan hadn’t unexpectedly seen the comments, she might really have believed she was so lucky.
The Shen family had only taken her in because their daughter had hemolytic disease and needed her as a walking blood bank.
The engagement, too, was just a way for the Shen family to keep her under control.
When Shen Xingzhi brought home the woman who had once saved his life and demanded to break off their engagement, Song Lingyuan agreed without a second thought.
Then she married a rising star in Beijing’s elite circles, introduced to her by her best friend.
Rumor had it that this powerful man avoided women and was as cold as ice.
So why was he nothing like the rumors?
He was always clinging to her, putting an arm around her waist, kissing her, and insisting they go public. He even got jealous of his nephew!
When Shen Xingzhi accidentally saw his former fiancée’s new husband, he was stunned.
Wait, how had his ex-girlfriend become his aunt?
A little extra:
Years later, Song Lingyuan asked her best friend,
“I turned you down so many times back then. Why did you keep insisting we be friends?”
Her best friend replied, “Oh, at first I didn’t want to either, but your uncle was just too generous.”
