[Marriage Before Love] [Married in Name and in Bed] [Mutual Healing]
[Clear-Headed, Down-and-Out Heiress on the Surface vs. Actually, a Controlling and Restraint-Bound Powerhouse]
The day the Ming family fell into trouble, Shen Mingzhuo became Jing Yan's wife.
Her new husband was the head of one of Liangyue's most powerful families: cold, taciturn, and ruthless in his dealings.
He would inject capital into the Ming family and pay an exorbitant bride price. All she had to do was play the part of Mrs. Jing and maintain a respectable relationship with him.
It was a deal in which they each got what they wanted. Shen Mingzhuo wanted to refuse, but had no reason to.
She thought it was nothing more than a partnership. Little did she know that one day, the usually restrained man would clasp her waist and plead, "Please don't go, Mingzhuo."
A top-tier businessman marries a down-and-out heiress, and everyone thinks it's a deal that's bound to lose money.
After all, this marriage offers the Jing family no benefit whatsoever.
Only Jing Yan knows the truth: he has been waiting for this day for a very long time.
Not because of anything she could bring him.
But because once, at someone else's wedding banquet, she tugged at his sleeve.
Little by little, he fell deeper, no longer content with being husband and wife in name only.
He wants her smile.
Her tears.
Her willing heart, for all eternity.
But when he finally wins her heart, he discovers...
She really had once thought about leaving.
