Tough, sweet-looking heroine × powerful man who keeps a low profile
[Marriage first, love later; secret marriage; older, nurturing male lead; both devoted only to each other; happy ending]
Shen Zhiwu is the real heiress of a wealthy family in Lin City, but a fake heiress has usurped her place. Her father doesn’t care for her, her mother doesn’t love her, and her own brother sneers that she was “crooked from the start.” When she grows up, she is expected to serve as a pawn in the family’s marriage alliance. Unwilling to be at others’ mercy, Zhiwu meets Zhao Suiyu through a “coincidence” and impulsively marries him.
She thinks they’re just using each other and will go their separate ways when the contract expires. Little does she know she’s walking right into the wolf’s den...
Zhao Hengze lives it up, yet he’s decided that Shen Zhiwu, his arranged-marriage partner, will be his future wife, simply because she’s stunning, gentle, and easy to control.
When he learns that Shen Zhiwu married some other man, he flies into a rage. “Shen Zhiwu, believe me, I’ll tear your lover limb from limb and feed him to the dogs!”
In a private room, Zhao Hengze sees the “lover” and turns pale with fear. “Uncle, when did you get back to the country?”
Zhao Suiyu curls his lip. “I hear you’ve been acting pretty arrogant.”
Zhao Hengze’s legs tremble, and he drops to his knees in front of Zhao Suiyu.
