1v1, both chaste, groveling ex, abstinent CEO learns to bend for love

Bright and sweet heroine × aloof, abstinent hero

When Wen Ning was eight, the Wen family went bankrupt, leaving her alone and helpless overnight. Later, the Huo family adopted her, and she became Huo Jingchen's sister in name only.

Huo Jingchen was young then, but already had a powerful presence. His deep eyes seemed able to see through everything. When he first met Wen Ning, his gaze held not a trace of emotion.

Wen Ning knew her situation and desperately tried to hold on to the rare stability she'd found. She was sweet and well-behaved, doing everything she could to please the Huo family, but Huo Jingchen told her not to bother.

During their three years of marriage, Huo Jingchen rarely came home. Wen Ning endured their cold marriage and became a laughingstock in everyone's eyes.

Rumors circulated among the wealthy that Huo Jingchen had a beloved woman in his heart and despised Wen Ning. They were bound to part ways eventually, and Wen Ning thought so too.

Until one day, Wen Ning asked for a divorce. Everyone thought Huo Jingchen would be relieved.

But to their surprise, Huo Jingchen pinned her against a wall, his eyes red as he gritted his teeth. "Wen Ning, how could you bear to leave me behind and go off living carefree? I won't allow it."

To Wen Ning, Huo Jingchen had never loved her. All he felt was possessiveness.

It wasn't until danger struck and Huo Jingchen shielded her with his own body that she realized how important she was to him.
