[Seven-year age gap + older man + gradually growing possessiveness + male lead is sexually pure + mild coercion] [Ruthless, domineering man in power vs. sweet, gentle young painter]
Everyone knows Gu Hanyuan is ruthless, unfathomable, cold and unyielding. The whole city of Jing knows better than to cross him, and everyone keeps their distance.
Then one day, word gets out that his long-hidden wife has been unfaithful to him. Everyone is shocked and aghast.
Some say the woman doesn’t know what’s good for her. Others say she’s bound to meet a miserable end, or that she’s living a fate worse than death...
Until Gu Hanyuan pulls her into his arms with possessive force and says in a tone that allows no argument,
“My Ningning is innocent and naive. She doesn’t understand how cruel people can be, so those outsiders took advantage of her. Blame those idiots who had the nerve to approach her.”
Everyone stares, wide-eyed...
One glimpse was all it took for Gu Hanyuan to marry her. His little wife is adorable, sweet, and gentle. He indulges and cherishes her, afraid she’ll melt if he holds her in his mouth or break if he holds her in his palm. But he never expected his sweet, obedient wife to fall for someone else, or to want a divorce.
He hates it, he’s jealous, he feels like he’s going mad, but how could he truly blame her?
Wen Wanning has been sheltered all her life. She really doesn’t understand how cruel people can be, which is why Gu Hanyuan set his sights on her. For her family’s sake, she gathers her courage and marries him.
After the wedding, she fears him and obeys him, but dares not give him her heart. That is, until Xie Huaizhou appears. He is carefree, flamboyant, and untamed, like a blazing fire crashing into her world. Suddenly, everything seems to change.
