[Controlling, patriarchal old-school man x rebellious, unruly puppy]
Everyone on Hong Kong Island knew that the eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Huining, was born to privilege and doted on since childhood, the most spoiled young lady around. Meanwhile, Shen Qianshi, head of the Beijing Shen family, had connections and power enough to move mountains, and was held in awe by everyone.
Their personalities were poles apart, yet one marriage bound them together.
When news of their arranged marriage broke, the criticism came pouring in. Everyone said they would surely become a loveless rich couple after the wedding, each doing their own thing.
Until one evening at a banquet, Chen Huining acted coy in public, perched sideways on Shen Qianshi’s lap and cooed, “Honey, I’m so tired.”
Everyone was stunned, but Shen Qianshi’s response left them even more astonished.
The usually dignified, self-possessed man gazed at her with tenderness in his eyes, more gentle than anyone could have imagined.
“All right. I’ll take you home right now.”
After that night, rumors spread that Shen Qianshi doted on Chen Huining without restraint, paving her way and taking care of every problem for her, bending the knee for no one but her. The two were a perfect match, their steadfast love becoming a celebrated story across Beijing and Hong Kong.
Most wealthy arranged marriages end in tragedy. Everyone, including Chen Huining herself, thought she was lucky that she and Shen Qianshi had fallen in love over time.
But she didn’t know that becoming her husband and openly claiming her for himself had been part of his long-laid plan.
“Rao Rao, if I’d known we’d be this happy, I should have kept you by my side at the very first dance where we met.”
This is my first time writing a book review 🤦. As for this book, I read part of it while I was saving the manuscript. The heroine Baobao is very straightforward and may be a bit naughty at times. But I am also growing slowly, taking steps step by step, and expressing myself bravely. (You just keep your head down and write hard 😳 I'll squat and read hard🤤 Come on🥰)
Very very beautiful! From my perspective after reading so many books, it is a perfect novel worthy of a rating of 9 or more! The male protagonist is completely a senior + guiding lover, sisters, come and see! [Laughing][laughing][laughing]
So pretty! The teacher is so good at writing! A miracle comes! 💕
Super super pretty!!! Immortals have recently arrived!!!
Yes, I dote on the heroine. Of course, the younger sister is also very good. Mr. Shen's younger sister is also very cute. It's pretty good. There aren't many books that I can follow continuously. This one is one of them.
It looks good. The male protagonist falls in love at first sight and has planned it for a long time. The female protagonist is of the type of love that lasts for a long time before marriage and love later. The female protagonist is coquettish and pretentious, a little clever.
