Marriage Before Love | Slow-Burn Scheming | The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead | Skin Hunger Syndrome | Sweet Romance
Shen Li had spent ten years as the well-behaved younger sister in the Jiang family, and had loved Jiang Xu for eleven.
On the night of Jiang Xu’s birthday, she confessed while tipsy. In return, he gave her two months of cold treatment and said, “Shen Li, I have a girlfriend. She can’t stand having you around. Go marry someone for the sake of an alliance.”
Her arranged match was Fu Yanzhi, the notorious devil of high society.
Desperate to let go of her feelings, she accepted the photo with red-rimmed eyes. “Fine. As you wish.”

Fu Yanzhi was the powerful head of a top-tier wealthy family: aloof and distinguished, and Jiang Xu’s most feared business rival.
Everyone assumed Shen Li would be neglected after marrying him. After all, Fu Yanzhi was famously uninterested in women.
Until the night they registered their marriage, when Shen Li’s skin hunger syndrome flared up and she trembled, curled in a corner.
But the man rumored to be cold as ice slowly loosened his tie and cornered her against the wall, his gaze dark and burning. “Why are you hiding? I’ll give you what Jiang Xu never could.”

Later, Jiang Xu went mad trying to win Shen Li back.
But in the pouring rain, he saw the girl he had once scorned rise onto her toes and kiss Fu Yanzhi.
Fu Yanzhi held her protectively in his arms and looked at Jiang Xu, drenched and pathetic in the rain, with a mocking smile. “Call her Auntie.”
