Marriage first, love later | Crime squad captain (powerful heir to a wealthy family) × capable heroine (illegitimate daughter of a prominent family) | Fiercely protective | Sweet romance in a wealthy family
Xu Zhi is a capable employee at a media company, but also the illegitimate daughter whom her father despises and her elder sister bullies. Gentle yet strong at heart, she is clear-headed, independent, and talented.
Xiao Yi is the captain of the criminal investigation squad at the A City police department and the powerful heir to the prestigious Xiao family. Cold and ruthless, he is fiercely protective and devoted to his wife, with tenderness reserved for one person alone.
After an accident, she saved his grandmother. A contract brought them together: she married him in search of a home, while he married her to fulfill his grandmother's wish.
They meant to simply share a life, but the cold-faced captain fell for her and made her the apple of his eye.
When the Xu family gave her a hard time, he stood firmly by her side. “She's my woman. Who do you think you are to bully her?”
When she faced obstacles at work, he quietly cleared the way, looking at her with admiration. “My wife has always been amazing.”
This is a slow-burn story. The beginning may feel a little dull, but once the leads fall in love, things get sweet.
