For a little peace and quiet, Su Wanwan entered a marriage of convenience with Shen Sihan, a man she’d met only once. All she knew was that he was the older brother her best friend described as “cold, ruthless, and someone you’d better steer clear of.”
So she took her friend’s advice to heart, kept a safe contractual distance from him, and even started casually “picking a concubine” for him, hoping to secure her own peace of mind.
But she couldn’t understand why the business tycoon, so haughty and ruthless in public, always let down his guard at home, turning into a huge dog with no sense of security, desperate to bask in the slightest warmth by her side.
When she was absorbed in appraising antiques, he would quietly leave the lights on for her all night. When she hit a setback, he would clear every obstacle with thunderous force, but never mention it to her, awkwardly making her a bowl of sweet soup instead.
It wasn’t until Su Wanwan’s secret identity shocked everyone that the man who had always stood high above the rest bent down in full view of the crowd to brush the dust off her shoes.
At last, she understood. This marriage, which seemed like a coincidence, was the result of his carefully laid plans to love her from afar. Beneath all his domineering possessiveness lay the entirety of a youth spent only daring to admire her from a distance, and a one-of-a-kind tenderness worth billions.
