To save her family, Su Qinghe agrees to marry Shen Zhiyan, a top-tier star and the powerful head of one of Shanghai’s wealthiest families.
She thinks it will be nothing more than a two-year marriage of convenience: living under one roof with no love between them, treating each other with icy courtesy.
But she has no idea that this cool, restrained man by her side has quietly loved her in secret for ten whole years.
After they marry, he stays by her side day and night, hiding his feelings and showing her tenderness in a thousand little ways.
From polite distance, to a heart stirred by small gestures, to feelings she can no longer resist.
When his decade-long secret love is finally revealed, she understands at last: this marriage was never a transaction. It was a plan he had been hiding for half his life, long in the making.
Even more astonishing, behind this decade-spanning love is a cycle of destiny reaching back a thousand years.
She is a descendant of the Su family who transmigrated here, and the guardian of the Mirror of Heaven’s Mandate. He is a guardian who came with memories of every lifetime, waiting for her through cycle after cycle of reincarnation.
In the chaos of the Republican era, amid the undercurrents of the wealthy and the encircling remnants of the Guifang clan, they fight side by side and break the curse of fate, going from contract spouses to soulmates.
One home, two people, three meals a day, through every season. From black hair to white, he loves her and protects her for his entire life.
