Synopsis

Love After Marriage | A Sweet, Slow-Burn Romance | Six-Year Age Gap | Both Are Inexperienced

Cool, delicate beauty x Wealthy young gentleman from Beijing

The most rational thing Jian Heng ever did was agree to an arranged marriage.

His family business needed it, and his elders expected it. All he needed was a wife in name only, someone who would save him trouble and stay out of his affairs.

At the civil affairs bureau, he calmly signed the agreement. The woman across from him, Jiang Shan, was a stranger who had come for the benefits.

Beautiful and quiet, she set clear boundaries with him without hesitation, just as he wanted.

But he hadn't expected his rationality to start crumbling at first sight.

The way this woman looked at him seemed to hide a long-forgotten breeze;

Every little gesture of hers... was just like the younger sister he'd lost years ago.

Reason warned him again and again: It's just a coincidence. Don't read too much into it.

But his body surrendered before his mind did.

When he saw her being bullied, he personally crushed the other family's business deal;

When he heard she was sick, he abandoned international negotiations, flew home overnight, and stayed by her side until dawn;

When he saw her getting even a little close to someone else, he lost control, pinned her against the car door, and kissed her hard and deep. “Call me husband.”

Jian Heng once thought marriage was a transaction where each side got what they wanted.

Until she asked softly, “If you find your sister one day, will our agreement... still stand?”

He said nothing, simply tightening his arms around her and holding her firmly against his chest. “It won't.”

“Jiang Shan, whoever you are, you'll be my wife for the rest of your life.”

Later, when the truth came to light, he held her tightly in his arms, eyes red.

“Yaoyao, open your mouth. Big brother will teach you how to admit you're wrong... This time, you won't get away.”
