At twenty-eight, Wen Xuan married Ji Xianchi, a business titan in Jiangcheng.

Everyone said she was lucky. Ji Xianchi was the most sought-after marriage prospect among Jiangcheng’s elite, a famously untouchable man who was impeccably chaste, refined, and elegant.

Wen Xuan was unmoved.

People’s hearts couldn’t be controlled, and love was the most elusive thing of all. She didn’t love, nor did she expect to be loved.

It was only a business marriage. Her greatest hope was that they could treat each other with respect and maintain the relationship that had begun for mutual gain.

On their first day together after the wedding, Wen Xuan sensibly went to sleep in the guest room. Ji Xianchi came home late from working overtime and knocked on her door in the middle of the night, his expression serious. “Why are we sleeping in separate rooms? Wen Xuan, we’re husband and wife.”

Wen Xuan: ...

Wait, this wasn’t how she’d imagined things going.

They were only a couple on paper, married for business. Was he... serious?

Six months into their marriage, Wen Xuan went on a business trip. The man showed up at her hotel, travel-worn. The moment the door opened, before she could say a word, he pinned her behind it, his burning breath against her neck. His voice was husky. “Xuanxuan, do you want a divorce? Forget that dangerous idea. Not unless I’m dead!”

After a night of passionate lovemaking, Wen Xuan, who never posted on social media, made a rare post that sounded almost like a confession. Ji Xianchi was so delighted that he set off fireworks for three days straight.

Maybe I can’t quite put it into words, but I’m so happy I met you.
