Silent Drowning

Shen Nian is the least favored second son of the Shen family. His mother died due to childbirth, his father regards him as a disaster star, and his brothers regard him as a punching bag. During the two decades of cold violence, he suffered from severe depression and used to protect himself with silence and obedience, like a snail ready to hide in its shell at any time. When the family business fell into crisis, Shen Nian was pushed into marriage as a "gift" to make amends, and the target was Gu Huaixu, the heir to the Gu Group. He was ready to jump from one hell to another, but he didn't know that this fiancé, whom he had never met before, was the only senior who gave him warmth on the university campus seven years ago. That year, Gu Huaixu drove away the naughty boys who bullied him, and cast a ray of light in his most desperate moment. But Shen Nian didn't know that that person remembered his eyes for seven years. Knowing that the marriage partner was someone he had hidden in his heart for many years, Gu Huaixu quietly facilitated the marriage. What he wanted was never a walking corpse, but to draw the injured little animal out of the shadows bit by bit with his own hands, weave a web with patience, and build a cage with tenderness, so that he could learn to rely on him until he could no longer leave. Shen Nian thought it was a cold deal, but found that he was gradually indulging in the other party's long-planned affection. And when the truth was revealed, he realized that before he even knew it, he had been cherished and loved by others for many years.
