[A heiress breaking free from her cocoon × a rebellious CEO | romantic tension | mutual healing]
After sixteen years missing, Zhou Shuli was finally brought back to the Zhou family, but fate had never shown her the slightest kindness.
Her birth mother had died young, her father was domineering and rigid, and only her older brother truly cared for and protected her.
Trapped in the cage her family had built for her after returning home, she smoothed away her sharp edges and endured in silence, like a fragile butterfly trapped in a cocoon, yearning to break free from her fate.
A marriage alliance she could not refuse forcibly tied her to Cen Rang.
He was the wildest, most untamable man in Shanghai, with desolation and solitary courage in his eyes that no one could touch.
They had met only twice when their elders pushed them into an engagement.
Everyone said they were a perfect match, equal in status and made for each other.
But no one knew that the cool, distant heiress didn't want to marry, and the proud, aloof Mr. Cen didn't want a wife.
What began as a contractual marriage, a mere performance, was marked by calculated distance and polished pleasantries.
She struggled to break free from the shackles of her family, while he roamed freely through a wilderness where no one understood him.
The butterfly was gentle yet tenacious; the wild horse was fierce yet tenderhearted.
When a gentle butterfly meets an untamed wild horse,
will they repel each other, or tame one another?
He reined in his sharp edges for her and shielded her from every storm.
She let down her guard for him and healed his lonely heart.
This marriage alliance, which began as a matter of mutual benefit, ultimately stirred their hearts.
This time, she would no longer let others control her,
and the wild horse no one could tame was willing to stay only for her.
Waiting for Zhou Shuli to emerge from his cocoon and become a butterfly
