A month after Lin Zhiyao returned to China, her cousin suddenly ran away from her wedding.
The Lin company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Her aunt threatened to kill herself unless Lin Zhiyao took her cousin's place and married the groom-to-be.
Her best friend tried to stop her: Lingyun Technologies' big boss was famously ascetic, a Buddha-like figure. Rumor had it he had a hidden ailment. He was over thirty and still single, so either he had psychological problems or something was wrong with his equipment. Get out while you can.
To her surprise, a week after they met, the man came to her home to propose.
At the marriage registry, Lin Zhiyao tugged at his sleeve. “Mr. Gu, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill a wife's duties after we marry. Would you like to reconsider?”
Gu Tingyan remained unruffled. “I'm usually busy with work. I won't have time to deal with those things.”
Was there really something wrong with his equipment, or was this simply a marriage of convenience, without love or romance?
Until one day, the usually cold and distant man gazed at her with sudden tenderness. “Mrs. Gu, may I kiss you?”
On a clear, moonlit night, he leaned over her, his voice slightly hoarse. “Mrs. Gu, may I tonight?”
Lin Zhiyao thought it perfectly normal to have physical needs.
At a banquet, Gu Tingyan raised his glass to smooth things over for her as she grew tipsy. “Everyone, my wife can't hold her liquor. I'll drink this toast on her behalf!”
Well, here's explosive news: she's the woman behind Lingyun Technologies!
On a sultry rainy night, he pinned her in the cramped car and kissed her, one hand at her waist. “Zhiyao, please love me.”
The powerful man lowered his head again and again.
All he wanted was her body, and her heart too.
