[Capital city heir × disgraced illegitimate daughter | substitute romance + marriage first, love later + prickly but soft-hearted + intense push and pull]
Shen Yuyuan never imagined that a face seven-tenths similar to his unattainable first love would lead her to marry Lu Yanchen, the heir who can turn the capital’s social scene upside down with a flick of his hand.
With a two-year marriage contract, he gives her wealth and status others can only dream of, along with the title of Mrs. Lu. The one thing he withholds is even a shred of genuine affection.
Clearheaded and composed, she keeps to the boundaries of their agreement and counts down the days until it expires and they divorce. All she hopes for is to safely give birth to the child, after which they will owe each other nothing.
But she doesn’t know that his quiet defense of her at their engagement banquet, or the instinctive care with which he softens his footsteps late at night, has nothing to do with their agreement.
In this marriage born of calculation, she thinks she is merely a temporary stand-in. She never expected that the first to fall in love, the first to lose himself, and the one most reluctant to let go would never be her.
