[Shen Yanci] Cool and aristocratic, obsessively devoted to his wife, an irresistibly charming powerhouse with a doting older-man vibe
[Su Nian] A fragile, fallen heiress, sweet and obedient with a playful, teasing streak
After her family is destroyed overnight, fallen heiress Su Nian is cast aside. At the funeral, Shen Yanci, a powerful man at the very top, appears and becomes her guardian.
He is aloof and ascetic, with immense power. He gives her the very best and protects her from every slight, yet after she takes the initiative to kiss him, he coldly draws a line between them: “You're my responsibility, nothing more.”
Her heartfelt love is met with a cold splash of water, and Su Nian finally comes to her senses!
She puts her feelings away and plays the part of a sweet, obedient girl, calling him Uncle Shen at every turn and acting so docile that no one could fault her.
He tells her to let go of feelings she shouldn't have, and she simply nods. He picks a suitable marriage match for her, and she smiles and accepts without a moment's hesitation.
At her engagement banquet, she wears the designer gown he chose for her and looks breathtaking as she links arms with her fiancé.
For the first time, Shen Yanci loses his composure!
He corners her on the terrace, his collar loose and his eyes roiling with obsessive possessiveness, his breath hot against her as he says:
“After teaching you so much... was all you learned how to make me angry?”
She tilts her head and smiles sweetly, each word striking like a blade: “You were the one who pushed me away first, Uncle Shen...”
Later, Su Nian suddenly disappears.
Everyone in the city knows that Mr. Shen, who was always so calm and composed, sped to the airport in the middle of the night and dropped to his knees in front of a hundred people, shouting:
“I'll give up my guardianship.”
“Now, can I have a different title? Perhaps... your suitor?”
[He raised the rose with his own hands, then broke it with his own hands. Only when its thorns pierced his palm did he understand what it meant to go mad.]
