[Strangers to lovers after an arranged marriage + doted on beyond measure + abstinent, fatherly man + powerful man bows his head + age gap + one-on-one, both virgins, happy ending]
Jiang Shuning married a stranger on a whim because of an arranged match made when they were children. They agreed to treat each other with courtesy and never fall in love. The day after they got their marriage license, he left on a six-month business trip. Jiang Shuning spent her days living like a single woman who happened to be married, and she was perfectly happy with a marriage without love.
One day, she heard that her company had been acquired and that the new boss was on his way. The man arrived in a black suit, cold and austere, his stern, emotionless gaze passing over her face without a trace of warmth.
Then, after work, a black Maybach pulled up in front of her.
The man’s deep, magnetic voice rang out. “It’s time to go home, Mrs. Yu.”
Rumor had it that the head of the Yu family was indifferent to women, restrained and proper, like a work machine without feelings.
Jiang Shuning thought so too. Until one night, amid the sounds of their passion, the man laced his fingers through hers as if he wanted to meld her into his very flesh and blood.
He gently brushed the damp hair from her cheek, his voice half coaxing, half pleading. “Ningning, who am I?”
“Will you love me?”
“Don’t look at anyone else. Look at your husband, okay?”
Yu Zonglin had stopped believing in love when he was fifteen. If he ever had to marry, he wanted only a wife with whom he could maintain a respectful, cordial relationship. They would leave each other alone and never fall in love.
When he first met Jiang Shuning, he told her exactly what he wanted. They got their marriage license the very next day.
They were strangers sharing the same roof, nothing more.
But at some point, Yu Zonglin stopped being content with a wife who didn’t love him. He wanted more.
In the end, he was the one who broke his promise and changed his mind. He wanted Jiang Shuning to love him.
His wife was still young, so Yu Zonglin would have to teach her to love him.
Sweet everyday life
I have been reading novels for more than ten years and this is my first review. I enjoyed this book. The level of beauty is: I was thinking about it when I was halfway through reading it. If it were a physical book, I could read it quietly alone in a cafe in the afternoon until the evening, when the sunset slowly sets. When I return home, the shadow on the ground stretched by the setting sun quietly spreads out on the roadside, the kind of plain and stable happiness. May Miss Koala and Mr. Eucalyptus be happy forever in the parallel world
After reading the beginning, I feel that the author is a gentle person, and the characters of the male and female protagonists are probably very similar to the author's. The story is very delicate and gentle, but it's a pity that I, who is not pure enough, have no chance to share it ❤️
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
It's super beautiful. I watched it in one day. The emotions are very delicate ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The author is suitable for writing prose. I honestly cried. The words at the end made me pee with my eyes. It is a very subtle expression. Like the male and female protagonists of the article, they only express their feelings at the end of the book.
The language is fluent, the plot is straight to the heart, and the male and female protagonists are very good!
Thank you for accompanying me. I almost wanted to cry when I saw the ending. I couldn't bear to leave it.
