[Cold and distant × calculating every step] [Passion and true feelings + healing among the wealthy + mutual devotion]
Yan Huan didn’t believe in love.
Her birth family had left her with a body covered in scars: an absent father, a controlling mother. From childhood, she had known that she could rely on no one but herself.
At twenty-three, she was a stunning beauty, an icy goddess in everyone’s eyes, but she had wrapped her heart in steel. No dating, no marriage. She was fine on her own.
Until the night she met Fu Huaichuan.
After one night together, the man seemed to set his sights on her and wouldn’t let go. She backed away, he came closer; she was cold, he was warm. Every time she thought she’d made herself perfectly clear, he showed her through his actions that it wasn’t up to her.
What she didn’t know was that their meeting had never been an accident.
Fu Huaichuan, the powerful head of one of Kyoto’s most prominent families, was twenty-nine, steady, cold, and immensely influential. He had fallen in love with her at first sight four years earlier. Knowing she wanted nothing to do with romance, he had spent four years quietly watching over her, carefully laying his plans, and gradually entering her life.
This isn’t a story about a domineering CEO rescuing Cinderella. It’s about two people from completely different family backgrounds, both accomplished in their own right, helping each other flourish and remaining steadfast in their love.
He spent four years setting up this plan, just to tell her one thing: You’re not someone nobody cares about. You’re the one he has chosen without hesitation.
And it took her even longer to finally believe that someone really could love her unconditionally.
[In a nutshell] A cold beauty is cherished by a powerful CEO, going from “I don’t need love” to “I’m sold,” while also healing her childhood trauma from her family.
It's very good, the plot is novel and there's more to it than meets the eye
