Both leads are chaste + sweet romance + marriage first, love later + whirlwind marriage + seven-year age gap + the powerful one bows his head
Everyone in high society knows:
The good news: The president of the Shen Group is single, so all the eligible young ladies have a chance.
The bad news: Rumor has it that Mr. Shen is gay.
Only later, when everyone saw the Mr. Shen whom the capital’s social circles had labeled gay gently coaxing a woman who was eight months pregnant, did they realize he had only been avoiding unwanted attention.
He had been waiting for the one he loved all along!
Yan Xi accidentally overhears her wealthy boyfriend say, “Yan Xi is just a woman I keep on the side. Tingting is the only one who belongs at my side.”
She calmly breaks up with him.
After getting drunk one night, she sleeps with an incredible man!
Then she rushes to marry her one-night stand!
Throughout her married life with Shen Jingyan, Yan Xi believes their relationship is built on sex, until one day she finds the photos he secretly took of her over the years and the diary entries in which he kept his feelings hidden, tucked away in his private space.
His perspective: He planned it all long ago.
Her perspective: Marriage first, love later.
