The Su family and the Gu family are well-established families in the capital. Their ancestors had chosen the in-laws for their children in the early years, and the final candidate was Su Qing, the eldest daughter of the Su family. But after Su Qing entered the social circle at the age of twenty, she was spotted by Lin Chen, the heir to a top wealthy family. The Lin family came to get engaged with a very high standard. Su Qing eventually married into the Lin family and became Mrs. Lin, the envy of everyone.
The ancestral marriage contract cannot be annulled, and the Gu family needs to give an explanation. This marriage ultimately fell on Su Wan, the third daughter of the Su family. Su Wan has lived under Su Qing's halo since she was a child. She has outstanding appearance but nothing outstanding.
Her wedding to Gu Yan, the heir to the Gu family, was decent but cold, and the two seemed to be inseparable. Su Wan knew that Gu Shiyan was thinking about Su Qing, and she had no good impressions of Gu Shiyan. It was only because of the power of the Gu family that she could play the role of the perfect Mrs. Gu, head of the family and filial to her elders. In private, she was only obsessed with recruiting good cooks from all over the world and tasting delicacies.
In Gu Shiyan's eyes, Su Wan was docile, sensible, and obedient, so he must have liked him. Until a private manor banquet, he overheard Su Wan chatting and laughing with his friends, saying bluntly, "I will never like Gu Shiyan's piece of ice wood. I prefer a gentle and clean boy."
In anger, Gu Shiyan began to secretly observe Su Wan, and then he gradually saw her true face: she was not a stoic, but a complete foodie; she was not dumb and taciturn, but she just didn't want to open her heart to him; she was not docile and submissive, but she was aggressive and full of aura. It was only then that Gu Yan suddenly realized that his wife, whom he had neglected for a long time, had never liked him.
