The Sly Little Sister Has the Big Shot Wrapped Around Her Finger

[Marriage first, love later + substitute bride + older man learns to compromise + mutual secret crush + sweet romance]

A clingy, coquettish little troublemaker and a brooding, lustful young nobleman

1. Ten years ago, the Ye and Shen families arranged a marriage. Just before the wedding, the Ye family called it off. They soon learned that the eldest Shen daughter had already married someone else and had two children.

At twenty, Shen Jia followed her family's arrangement and married into the Ye family in place of her aunt, becoming the wife of a man eight years her senior who was supposed to become her uncle by marriage.

Her best friend felt sorry for her, thinking she'd been thrown into a blind marriage and that a young girl was being taken advantage of by an old man. Little did she know Shen Jia had been secretly in love with him for ages.

Upset? Heartbroken? No! This was the best thing ever!

On their wedding night, Shen Jia tugged on her husband's collar and told him, “This is how I do things.”

That very night, she made the man she'd secretly loved for so long her own.

He was the moon she had used every bit of luck in her life to reach.

2. Ye Jinnian's wife is a young woman a generation below him. Their marriage began as a political and business alliance in which each got what they wanted, but as their nights together went on, they surrendered to love and desire.

The divorce agreement in his drawer is revised over and over, but he can't bring himself to take it out, until she discovers it.

Shen Jia signs the divorce agreement without a fuss, storms out without even packing her bags, and leaves in a huff. Ye Jinnian, usually so cool and composed, forgets all about his dignity and runs out of the house in his pajamas in the middle of a snowstorm.

“Yaoyao, you forgot something.”

“What?”

“Me.”

That much younger woman gave him his first experience of love.
