A marriage first, love later | A gentle, slow-burn sweet romance
Five-year age gap | One-on-one, both untouched | A powerful man who bows to love
Lu Shaozhi went to Europe to build an empire. When he returned a year later, he found a wife waiting at home.
He hadn’t chosen to marry her, so he naturally assumed that beneath her dazzling beauty lay ulterior motives.
And so...
“Miss Xu, you’re more capable than I expected.”
“Miss Xu seems so ordinary, yet she’s a natural at business.”
“Miss Xu is pretty good at changing the subject, too.”
His repeated sarcastic jabs became the trap he had set for himself.

Xu Man did marry into the Lu family with an ulterior motive: she wanted to protect her mother’s ashes.
She had long been prepared for this and never intended to remain Mrs. Lu for long.
Just as she expected, the powerful man was wary of her from the moment they met.
But...
Later...
“I was a bastard, despicable and utterly heartless. It was all my fault.”
“Darling, you can ask anything of me, but you can’t leave me.”
“Darling, I really love you so much.”

The renowned head of the Zhonghuan Group, a top power at the pinnacle of high society, was famous for being ruthless and merciless.
No one could have imagined that such an untouchable man would one day fall helplessly in love.
But the truth was...
He really did love her beyond all reason.
Before long, almost everyone in Ningcheng knew that General Manager Lu’s Achilles’ heel was Mrs. Lu. If you offended the Lu family, appealing to General Manager Lu was useless. You had to ask Mrs. Lu instead.
