[Marriage first, love later + age gap + sweet romance + everyday life]
[Seemingly gentle and obedient but actually rebellious little fox heroine x cold, abstinent, steady, self-disciplined head of a wealthy family]
As an illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family, Sheng Yi is called back to the Sheng household to marry in place of her younger sister. She knows she's just a pawn to be used.
To pay for her grandmother's medical treatment and secure a carefree life of lying flat three years later, Sheng Yi accepts Shen Yanzhou's proposal. One marriage contract, a three-year agreement, each getting what they need. It seems like the perfect arrangement to her.
Shen Yanzhou likes her obedient, gentle nature and thinks she'll be easy to send on her way later. She assumes he already has someone he loves and is happy to enjoy the peace and quiet, with the money in hand.
Rumor has it that the head of the Shen family has a physical problem and can't perform in bed. Sheng Yi thinks, who cares? She's not planning to spend her whole life with him.
Perfect. She can sleep less and earn more.
Later, she discovers the rumors are wrong. Well, having a handsome man to sleep with and getting paid isn't so bad.
Later still, Shen Yanzhou gets addicted and clings to her every night, demanding far too much. Sheng Yi wonders who started that rumor. It really did "cause no end of trouble"...
