A Whirlwind Wedding and a Misstep: My Best Friend's Uncle Drops His Cool Persona

[Marriage Before Love + Devoted, fatherly pampering + Sweet romance, both leads inexperienced + The pressure of seniority + A major secret identity reveal]

Qi Chenyan is the head of the prominent Qi family in S City.

Rumor has it he's aloof and ascetic, ruthless in business, and the “Living Hades” whom everyone in their circle fears.

Even his own niece trembles when she mentions him: “My uncle is a cold, old-fashioned machine with no feelings. Whoever marries him is doomed!”

To fend off her family's pressure to marry, Shen Zhiyi impulsively weds an “ordinary” businessman.

After the wedding, she discovers that something about her husband isn't quite right.

Didn't they agree not to interfere in each other's lives?

Then why does he warm her hands when the weather turns cold, make her congee when her stomach hurts, and leave a bag she admired by the bed the very next day?

Shen Zhiyi sighs, “Aside from being a little ‘fatherly’ and bossy, my husband is gentle and considerate. He's nothing like the scary rumors!”

Then one day, Shen Zhiyi is invited to visit her best friend's home.

The man who strikes fear into the whole city walks through the door, and her best friend is so frightened her legs nearly give out.

The next moment, he walks straight to Shen Zhiyi, takes her bag with practiced ease, and coaxes her softly:

“Sweetheart, how about coming home tonight? I can't sleep without you.”

Best friend: ???

Everyone: ???

Wasn't he supposed to be uninterested in women? Who is this clingy guy?!

…

In public, he's a god. At home, he's a devoted worshipper.

All his tenderness and deference are reserved for Shen Zhiyi alone.
